Objectives: To assess associations between functional evaluations and electrophysiological findings in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy in the non-ambulatory phase.
Design: Analytical study, with cross-sectional observation method. All patients will undergo the functional test “performance of upper limbs” PUL 2.0 and Brooke scale, with surface electromyography electrodes placed. In turn, a cardiac monitor will be given, and the data will be analyzed, identifying possible associations between the variables.
Results: The greater the progression of the disease in the early and late non-ambulatory stages, the more evident the cardiopulmonary condition and the decrease in motor function is proportional to the electromyographic findings.
Conclusions: The greater the progression of the disease in the early and late non-ambulatory stages, the more evident the cardiopulmonary condition and the decrease in motor function is proportional to the electromyographic findings.
