The Effect of Dual-tasking Program on Cognitive and Physical Functions and Independence in Activities of Daily Living in Children With Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy: A Single-blind Randomized Controlled Trial

Breathing exercises such as thoracic extension Stretching exercises for upper and lower extremity muscles Active-assisted, active and low resistance exercises for lower and upper extremity muscles according to muscle strength They will be asked to perform a home program including functional exercises (going up and down stairs, taking steps, etc.) at least 5 days a week, 2 times a day. The exercises will be checked by phone once a week and regular participation in the program will be ensured.
