A new study using neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) in zebrafish found that certain activities may help strengthen muscles affected by Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a severe type of muscular ...

Adding exercise to a genetic treatment for myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) was more effective at reversing fatigue than administering the treatment alone in a study using a mouse model of the disease.

ST. LOUIS — The 2025 Muscular Dystrophy Association "Show of Strength" on Sunday raised more than $195,000 to help people living with neuromuscular diseases in the St. Louis area. For nearly 40 years, ...

Physiotherapy can help relieve several health concerns. It aids faster recovery from surgery and physical injuries and even helps manage the symptoms of some neurological conditions. Additionally, its ...

Duchenne therapy may be evolving from slowing disease to reversing it—with RNA approaches offering the prospect of restoring function. Ongoing research will determine if these advances can deliver ...

Muscular dystrophy is a group of disorders that involve a progressive loss of muscle mass and consequent loss of strength. In general, the condition is caused by genetic variations that interfere with ...

Pathologic changes of the X-chromosome gene for dystrophin give rise to Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), and dystrophin -- which minimizes muscle fiber loss due to sarcolemma contraction damage when ...
