简要总结
The effects of Duchenne muscular dystrophy and its treatments on executive functions and occupational performance are under-mentioned in the literature. The researches believe that developmental and cognitive research is needed to identify interventions for children with DMD to identify and adapt to both individual and social environments, including self-care, productivity and leisure activities. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine executive functions and occupational performance in children with DMD and compare them with healthy controls.

结局指标
主要结局
Demographic information form
时间窗: one-time evaluation
Brooke upper extremity functional scale
时间窗: one-time evaluation
It will be used to assess the functional level of the upper limbs of children with DMD. The classification consists of six stages and progression from the first to the sixth stage indicates a decrease in the functionality of the upper limb.
Vignos lower extremity functional scale
时间窗: one-time evaluation
It will be used to assess the functional level of the lower limbs of children with DMD. The classification consists of ten stages and progression from the first to the tenth stage indicates a decrease in the functionality of the upper limb.
The Childhood Executive Functioning Inventory
时间窗: one-time evaluation
This 26-item scale consists of 4 subscales: working memory (9 items), planning (6 items), inhibition (6 items) and regulation (5 items). Working memory and planning sub-dimensions constitute the total score of "working memory" and inhibition and regulation sub-dimensions constitute the total score of "inhibition". As the score obtained from the scale increases, the child's executive functions weaken.
Canadian Occupational Performance Measure
