Abstract

Objective. The aim were trunk control and upper limb function assessment, and the relationship of trunk control, upper limb functional and functional level of the patient with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Method. A cross-sectional study of 35 patients diagnosed with DMD, mean age of 13.26 years, submitted to trunk control assessment by the Segmental Assessment of Trunk Control (SATCo), the performance of MMSS by the Jebsen Taylor test (TJT), and the functional level by Vignos scale. Results. Total trunk control was more prevalent among patients, in the TJT writing subtest the patients had an extended period of time to perform it, the predominant functional level indicated that they were wheelchair patients, who sat upright and they were able to lead to chair and perform activities of daily living in bed or in the chair. The correlation between trunk control, upper limb function, and functional level was weak but there was correlation. Conclusion. The study characterizes the trunk control and upper limb functional of patients with DMD, but also demonstrates a relationship between them and the functional level.
