Summary

This completed study looked at how muscle oxygen levels change during exercise in people with various neuromuscular diseases compared to healthy volunteers. Seventeen participants did a knee-extension exercise while a device measured muscle oxygen. The goal was to understand differences in muscle oxygen use, especially in diseases linked to a missing protein called dystrophin. Some participants also had a muscle biopsy to study mitochondria, the cell's energy factories.
