Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Home-Based Respiratory Telerehabilitation Program

Home-Based Respiratory Telerehabilitation Program: A 6-week caregiver-assisted home-based respiratory telerehabilitation program for children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The program includes weekly remote education sessions, respiratory muscle exercises, airway clearance training, relaxation positioning, and self-directed home exercises performed at least 5 times per week. Outcomes are assessed before and after the intervention and at 2-week follow-up.

Study summary

This study evaluates the feasibility and preliminary clinical effects of a home-based tele-rehabilitation program aimed at improving respiratory function in children with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD).

Healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria: * Children aged 3 years or older with genetically confirmed Duchenne muscular dystrophy * Participants who are able to understand the study procedures and appropriately participate in the study Exclusion Criteria: * Requirement for daytime ventilator support or invasive mechanical ventilation via tracheostomy (nighttime non-invasive ventilation such as positive airway pressure ventilation is allowed) * History of peripheral nerve injury * History of major surgery within 12 weeks prior to enrollment or expected major surgery during the study period * History of central nervous system disorders (e.g., cerebral infarction or spinal cord injury) * Severe cognitive impairment or other conditions that may interfere with participation in the study procedures

Primary outcome measure(s)

Feasibility of the Home-Based Respiratory Tele-rehabilitation Program — Baseline to immediately after the 6-week intervention
Feasibility of the home-based respiratory telerehabilitation program will be assessed using exercise adherence rate, session attendance rate, and exercise log completion during the 6-week intervention period. These measures will be summarized descriptively as indicators of program feasibility. Higher percentages indicate better feasibility.
Acceptability of the Home-Based Respiratory Tele-rehabilitation Program — Immediately after the 6-week intervention and at 2-week follow-up
Acceptability of the home-based respiratory telerehabilitation program will be assessed using caregiver-reported satisfaction, perceived exercise difficulty, caregiver burden, and child participation questionnaires during the intervention period. Higher satisfaction and participation scores indicate greater acceptability, whereas higher perceived difficulty and caregiver burden scores indicate lower acceptability.
