Effects of Lumbopelvic Stabilization-based Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Training in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

"F (Frequency): 3 days per week, with a total of 24 sessions. I (Intensity): Low to moderate intensity exercises with progression, ensuring no fatigue is induced.~T (Time): Each session will last 30 minutes, over a total period of 8 weeks.~T (Type):~Warm-up exercises Core stabilization exercises: Aimed at improving core stability. Cool-down exercises E (Enjoyment): Gamified exercises, with sessions conducted to music. A (Adherence): A follow-up system will be implemented, including reminder notes and regular sending of session links to ensure compliance."

The urotherapy education program was developed by an expert physiotherapist and was piloted with the families of children with DMD (16 parents) prior to the study. Pre-test and post-test assessments demonstrated that the knowledge level of DMD families increased after the training. Additionally, results from the satisfaction survey indicated a high level of satisfaction among the families regarding the urotherapy education (Mean satisfaction score: 33.875/35.000, Minimum=28, Maximum=35). Therefore, it was deemed appropriate to deliver the same urotherapy presentation to the DMD families within the scope of this study. The training lasts approximately 1 hour and will be delivered to families via an online method. Each family will receive the education individually, and no group sessions will be conducted.
