    Introduction/background: The study aims to investigate the effects of the MI (Motor Imagery) program applied in addition to the PTR (Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation) program on gait and balance in children with DMD (Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy). Methods: The 38 boys with DMD were included in the study and randomized into two groups: the PTR group (mean age: 7.96 +/- 1.94 years) and the MI + PTR group (mean age: 9.03 +/- 1.71 years). In the PTR group, the PTR program was administered 2 days/week for 8 weeks, and in the MI + PTR group, the MI program was administered 5 days/week in addition to the PTR program. Groups were assessed by the Brooke Lower Extremity Functional Classification Scale, Modified Pediatric Mini Mental Scale, Movement Imagery Questionnaire (MIQc), Kinovea (R) Software Program, Timed Up & Go Test (TUG), Timed Function Tests (TFT), Two-Minute Walk Test (2MWT), and Motor Function Measure (MFM-32). Results: As a result of the study, in PTR Group, TFT-Stairs descending (p = 0.049) was improved. In MI + PTR Group, Kinovea (R) Software Program-Walking Speed (p = 0.003), 2MWT (p = 0.037), TFT-Stair descend and 10-m walk (respectively; p = 0.001; p = 0.039), and MFM-32-D1 (p = 0.036) were improved. According to the comparison between groups, the groups were not superior to each other (p > 0.05). Discussion/conclusion: Although the MI program applied in addition to the PTR program contributes to improvements in walking speed, walking distance, and functional performance in children with DMD, it does not demonstrate superiority over the PTR program alone.

    Background To date, no study has investigated the effectiveness of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) techniques for patients with proximal humerus fractures (PHF). Objective To compare the effect of PNF, conventional physicaltherapy (CPT) on shoulder passive and active range of motion (ROM), function, muscle strength, pain, kinesiophobia, quality of life (QoL), and patient satisfaction in patients with PHF. Methods A total of 40 patients with PHF were randomly allocated into two groups of CPT and PNF. Both groups received treatment programs three times a week for 6 weeks. The primary measures were shoulder ROM, function, and muscle strength. The secondary measures were pain, kinesiophobia, QoL, and patient satisfaction. Results Forty patients analyzed at the end of the study. There were no statistically significant group-by-time interactions for function, pain, shoulder ROM (active and passive), or muscle strength (p > .05). However, there were statistically significant group-by-time interactions in role limitations due to physical health subscale of the 36-item Short Form Survey (SF-36) in CPT (p = .046, eta(2)(p) = 0.078). In addition, a significant difference was found in patient satisfaction at 3 weeks in CPT (p = .021) but no difference at 6 weeks between groups (p > .05). Conclusion The PNF techniques demonstrated similar outcomes to the CPT in reducing pain, improving function and shoulder ROM, and enhancing quality of life in patients with PHF in short time. According to our findings, PNF techniques are as effective as CPT and can be proposed as a potential adjunctive treatment for patients with PHF. Clinicaltrialnumber NCT05960435
