David is an 11-year old male with a history of Duchene's Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). He is coming to physical therapy with complaints of difficulty with ADLs.
The physical therapist is challenged with understanding the progression of this condition as well as the primary impairments in each stage.
The physical therapist in this clinical scenario is creating a sound POC and will need to know what to focus on to provide the most significant impact on the patient's condition. Is David's primary impairment weakness or limitations in soft tissue mobility?
This is what we will uncover in this excellent episode based on treating DMD.
