Investigator investigated that regression of hamstring flexibility and performance in children with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.
Flexibility of hamstrings was evaluated by Popliteal Angle test. Performance was evaluated 6 Minute Walk Test (6 MWT). Regression of hamstring flexibility and performance was examined regression tests. Correlation was examined between popliteal angle test and parameter of North Star Ambulation Assessment.
