Why is electromyogram performed when diagnosing muscular dystrophy?
This electrical test is used to examine the response of the muscles to stimulation. Decreased response is seen in muscular dystrophy. Other characteristic changes are seen in DM.
Does muscular dystrophy require Ventilatory assistance devices?
In some cases, yes. Muscular dystrophy can weaken the muscles required for breathing, leading to respiratory insufficiency. Ventilatory assistance devices may be necessary to help with breathing support in severe cases of muscular dystrophy.

What microbes are used with gene therapy in duchenne muscular dystrophy?
Adenoviruses and adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) are commonly used in gene therapy for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). These viruses are used as vectors to deliver the therapeutic gene to muscle cells to replace the mutated gene responsible for DMD. Additionally, lentiviruses have been investigated as potential vectors for gene therapy in DMD.
