简要总结
The aim of this population based study is to examine, quantify and describe physical activity level in Norwegian boys with DMD, and to compare the level of physical activity level between boys with DMD and age matched healthy boys. A co-project will validate ActiGraph accelerometry to measure physical activity in boys with DMD.
详细描述
International guidelines recommend regular physical activity for boys with DMD, and participation in physical activity plays a key role in the management. Paradoxically, patients with severe neuromuscular disease like DMD, have considerable limitations to participate in such activities. Limitation may be muscle weakness, pain, fatigue, reduced mobility and overall function, and also limited knowledge of physical activity benefits among health care personnel. Limited participation leads to a sedentary lifestyle, and gradual under-use of still functioning muscles may cause secondary deterioration in DMD.
The current physical activity level amongst Norwegian DMD's are unknown, and physical activity registration and self-reported questionnaire will be examined in this study.

结局指标
主要结局
Physical activity registration
时间窗: Seven days
An Actigraph will be provided and worn at pre set time frame (Seven days including weekend). Data extracted are counts per minutes, and are measurements of movement performed in both vertical and horizontal axis. The counts will be used to quantify the time the participant is inactive, low, moderate and / or in vigorous physical active.
次要结局
- Leisure time physical activity(Day 1)
- Self-Reported Questionnaire(Day 1)
