Abstract

Background: Muscular dystrophy negatively affects ambulation, mobility, self-care, and community involvement. Neonatal compartment syndrome (NCS) causes loss of muscle strength, sensory problems, and limb dysfunction. Patients with Becker Muscular Dystrophy (BMD) and/or NCS may benefit from individualized rehabilitation to improve function.
