Summary
This study looked at 26 children aged 6-12 with Duchenne muscular dystrophy who could still walk. Researchers used ultrasound to measure calf muscle thickness and length, then compared these to how well the children could move and walk. The goal was to better understand how muscle structure relates to daily function, which may help guide future therapies.
