Summary
This study looks at whether the Alexander technique, a method that teaches better posture and movement habits, can help children aged 5 to 9 with Duchenne muscular dystrophy control their upper limbs and feel better day-to-day. About 33 kids will take part, and researchers will measure changes in arm and shoulder control. The goal is to find a safe, drug-free way to ease symptoms and improve quality of life.
