Effects of therapeutic exercise on masticatory function in patients with progressive muscular dystrophy.

چکیده
The slope of the curve relating integrated electromyographic activity of masseter muscle to biting force, the latency of the jaw-jerk reflex, and masticatory performance wee estimated in patients with Duchenne type of progressive muscular dystrophy before and during therapeutic exercise of the somatogenc system. The slope and latency were slightly decreased, and masticatory performance was increased during exercise. These results suggest that therapeutic exercise of the stomatognathic system is effective in improving masticatory function in patients with progressive muscular dystrophy.

Background Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a deadly X-linked recessive disorder. This genetic disorder affects 1 among 3,500-5,000 males in the world. The majority of the patients are male, due to the type of inheritance. It affects most of the skeletal, the respiratory, and cardiac muscles, causing these vital organs to contract and eventually mortality.<br...

INTRODUCTION Myasthenia Gravis (MG), a slowly progressive neuromuscular disorder, can be classified as either ocular or generalised. MG affects between 5 – 12 people per 100,000 (Muscular Dystrophy Association, 2004).Ocular involvement is often the fi rst sign of MG with patients complaining of ptosis and diplopia. Seventy-fi ve to ninety percent of patients with ocular involvement then progres...

Muscular dystrophy refers to a group of genetic diseases associated with progressive muscle weakness and atrophy. Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a particularly severe and fatal form of this disease, affecting 1 in 3500 live born males [1]. It is caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene leading to a loss of dystrophin [2]. This results in progressive muscle degeneration, wheelchair depen...
متن کاملContractile function and low-intensity exercise effects of old dystrophic ( mdx) mice.
Old mdx mice display a severe myopathy almost identical to Duchenne's muscular dystrophy. This study examined the contractile properties of old mdxmuscles and investigated any effects of low-intensity exercise. Isometric contractile properties of the extensor digitorum longus (EDL) and soleus muscles were tested in adult (8-10 mo) and old (24 mo, split into sedentary and exercised groups) mdx m...
