Summary

This small study tested whether simple breath and urine tests can measure how well muscles produce energy in children with metabolic myopathies. Three participants completed a 12-week at-home physiotherapy program. Researchers used these non-invasive tests before and after the program to see if they could track changes in energy metabolism. The goal was to develop better ways to monitor future treatments.
