28
Q

T/F. PT treatment for muscular dystrophy includes:
1.Exercise, including range of motion, strengthening and cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise, is important for the management of the musculoskeletal and cardiorespiratory manifestations of myotonic dystrophy

2.Strengthening exercises may help to minimize the disuse weakness; but there is also a concern that too much exercise or inappropriate exercise may hasten disease progression, and hence 􏰀finding the right balance for each individual is important.

3.Cardiovascular exercise performed at a low to moderate intensity has been found to be safe in people with myotonic dystrophy

  1. 2 hours and 30 minutes a week of moderate intensity exercise. Aerobic exercise should be performed in episodes of at least 10 minutes preferably spread throughout the week. Muscle strengthening activities that involve all major muscle groups should be performed at least 2-3 days a week

5.Prescription of Orthosis
