Summary

The purpose of this study is to analyze the effectiveness of a 5-weeks respiratory digital intervention program in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy and Becker muscular dystrophy.

Detailed description

It will be done 4 times a week for a period of 5 weeks, for a duration of 55-60 minutes (20 sessions), with an intensity adapted to the characteristics of each participant. An intervention program will be used based on respiratory muscle training exercises, upper limb strength work, yoga, diaphragmatic awareness exercises, always trying to do them through the use of games, and even try to include exercises that use motor imagery. It is advisable during intervention program to have a playful environment stimulated for the children, and that the intervention program is carried out and stimulated through videos and therapeutic teaching to the caregivers in the first evaluation session, as well as with a weekly follow-up using WhatsApp as forms of communication, or a telephone call to ensure correct follow-up of the intervention program. It is essential that to carry out the intervention, videos obtained from YouTube, own videos prepared to explain the exercises in a playful way applied to children, and even other applications such as Spotify to work with music, will be used, being offered in case of Zoom calls may be necessary to help optimally resolve doubts that arise when carrying out the program by video call. At the end of the respiratory digital physiotherapy program, variables will be evaluated by the principal examiner.
