Effectiveness of conservative non-pharmacological interventions in people with muscular dystrophies: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Conclusions
Low-quality evidence suggests that strength training, with or without other exercise interventions, may improve perceived exertion, distal upper limb function, static and dynamic balance, gait and well-being in MD. Although more robust and larger studies are needed, current evidence supports the inclusion of strength training in MD treatment, as it was found to be safe.
