简要总结
This study aimed to investigate the validity and reliability of 6PBRT in individuals with DMD and its applicability on these patients.
详细描述
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is the most common type of progressive muscular dystrophies and is an X-linked recessive, rarely autosomal dominant, muscle disease. DMD begins in childhood and progresses until they become unable to walk. Individuals with DMD experience skeletal muscle weakness, difficulty breathing, and decreased exercise capacity. In these patients, traditionally lower extremity tests are; 6-minute walk tests, treadmill tests and Cardiopulmonary exercise tests are used. However, it is reported that the upper extremity is also affected in individuals with DMD. The 6-Minute Pegboard and Ring Test (6PBRT), which is valid and reliable in most disease groups, is also a test that can be applied to the upper extremities. It is important to use 6PBRT frequently in clinical research practice for patients with DMD and to know its validity and reliability. To our knowledge, the validity and reliability of this test in individuals with DMD has not been established in the literature. This study aimed to investigate the validity and reliability of 6PBRT in individuals with DMD and its applicability on these patients.

结局指标
主要结局
6 Minute Pegboard and Ring Test
时间窗: A total of two measurements will be made at 1-week intervals within 6 months.
The 6-minute pegboard and ring test is used to assess upper extremity functional capacity. The patient sat in front of a perforated board with bottom pegs at shoulder level. The upper pegs are placed in the hole 20 cm above the lower pegs. 10 rings of the same size are placed on the lower pegs. The patient is asked to move as many rings as possible from the lower pegs to the upper pegs and vice versa within a 6-minute period. Pulse, blood pressure, SpO₂, dyspnea and arm fatigue detection are recorded before/after each test. Before the actual test, patients are allowed to move up and down the rings in a cycle to become familiar with the testing procedure. If the patient wants to rest during the test, he is allowed, but the stopwatch is not stopped. During the test, standard encouraging phrases are said to the patient at the end of each minute.
