Conditions studied: Executive Dysfunction, Occupational Problems, Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

In brief

The effects of Duchenne muscular dystrophy and its treatments on executive functions and occupational performance are under-mentioned in the literature. The researches believe that developmental and cognitive research is needed to identify interventions for children with DMD to identify and adapt to both individual and social environments, including self-care, productivity and leisure activities. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine executive functions and occupational performance in children with DMD and compare them with healthy controls.
