Summary

This study tested whether a custom rehabilitation program can improve daily function and quality of life for people with dermatomyositis or polymyositis, two rare diseases that cause muscle inflammation and weakness. Eighty adults with stable muscle impairment took part. The program focused on exercises tailored to each person's needs. The goal was to see if this approach reduces disability and improves muscle strength and overall well-being.
