PPMD's Bone Health Workshop Published

Bone health has long been a confusing and often neglected aspect of Duchenne care. There is very little knowledge of underlying bone health in Duchenne, which is further complicated by the possible effects of glucocorticoids on both bone development and bone density/strength. We applaud the incredible work of this group of experts who participated in PPMD's Bone Health Workshop, and hope that, with increased awareness, further work to prevent osteoporosis and enhance bone health in people living with Duchenne will continue.
