Brief Summary:
The progressive muscle weakness and contractures of the patients adversely affect their gait and balance. It is known that the disorder of the patients' balance and gait affects their functional capacity. The aim of this study is to examine the effects of bicycle ergometer training on gait and balance in children with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Twenty-four children with DMD included in the study will be divided into two groups as home program and home program+bicycle ergometer training with block randomization method. Home program including stretching, respiratory, range of motion, posture and mild resistance exercise with body weight will be asked to apply 3-5 days a week for 12 weeks, aerobic training will be performed 3 days a week for 12 weeks at 60% of their maximum hearth rate with 40 minutes total duration consisting of 5 min warm up and 5 min cool down period. Gait and balance were evaluated with GAITrite and Bertec Balance Check Screener, successively. Assessments will be applied at pre-training and after 12 weeks of training.
