Abstract

People with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) adopt compensatory movement patterns to maintain independence as muscles get weaker. The Duchenne video assessment (DVA) quantifies these compensations, providing a standardized way to assess quality of movement as an indication of disease severity. Caregivers video record patients performing specific movement tasks at home using a secure mobile application. Physical therapists (PTs) rate the videos using scorecards with prespecified compensatory movement criteria.
