AB - PURPOSE: This study examined the effects of aquatic exercise on the functional activities of patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
METHODS: This study was a single-group experimental ABA design in three children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The study period was 20 weeks, consisting of 4 weeks of baseline, 12 weeks of intervention, and 4 weeks of maintenance, with 40 minutes of aquatic exercise once a week in the intervention. The Duchenne muscular dystrophy upper extremity patient-reported outcome scale and the expanded version of the Hammersmith Functional Motor Scale version of the Hammersmith Functional Movement Scale were used to determine the effects of aquatic exercise on the patient’s functional activity. The measurements were taken five times: once at baseline, three times at intervention, and once at maintenance. The data collected in this study were analyzed using SPSS version 25.0, with a statistical significance level of α of .05, and the Friedman test, a non-parametric method was conducted.
RESULTS: The functional activity scores improved significantly after 12 weeks of the intervention compared to the baseline and were maintained for up to 4 weeks after the intervention was complete.
CONCLUSION: Aquatic exercise is an effective intervention for improving the functional activity of children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy and should be utilized in clinical practice.
