Evaluation of muscle oxygenation by near infrared spectroscopy in patients with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy

The purpose of the study was to determine muscle metabolism adaptation to exercise in facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy patients (FSHD) and to study the correlation with clinical functional status (6-min walk test).8 FSHD patients and 15 …

Evaluation of muscle oxygenation by near-infrared spectroscopy in patients with Becker muscular dystrophy

Several authors have reported alterations in vasodilation during effort in patients with dystrophinopathies, in which a lack of neuronal NO synthase is thought to lead to functional muscle ischemia. In order to determine changes in muscle oxygenation …
