Gait Characterization in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) Using a Single-Sensor Accelerometer: Classical Machine Learning and Deep Learning Approaches [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Differences in gait patterns of children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and typically-developing (TD) peers are visible to the eye, but quantifications of those differences outside of the gait laboratory have been elusive. In this work, we measured vertical, mediolateral, and anteroposterior acceleration using a waist-worn iPhone accelerometer ...

Shape Analysis for Pediatric Upper Body Motor Function Assessment [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Neuromuscular disorders, such as Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) and Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), cause progressive muscular degeneration and loss of motor function for 1 in 6,000 children. Traditional upper limb motor function assessments do not quantitatively measure patient-performed motions, which makes it difficult to track progress for ...

Theragnosis for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy [PDF]
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2021 Dystrophinopathies cover a spectrum of rare progressive X-linked muscle diseases, arising from DMD mutations. They are among the most common pediatric muscular dystrophies, being Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) the most severe form. Despite the fact that there is still no cure for these serious diseases, unprecedented advances are being made for the ...

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy [PDF]
Journal of Medical Genetics, 1994 Since the publication of the first edition of this book in 1987, the identification of the gene responsible for Duchenne muscular dys trophy and the characterization of the missing protein product, dystrophin, have revolutionized research in the field and led to a better understanding of this devastating genetic disease.
