In a non-ambulatory person living with Duchenne, muscles in the hip, hamstring tendons, and the Achilles tendon (“heel cord”) often become tight over time. Regularly stretching the Achilles tendon, hips and pelvis may help with proper foot alignment, comfort and body positioning. This video demonstrates stretching techniques in the hips and legs in a person living with Duchenne lying flat in bed.
Disclaimer: This is a video of stretching exercises for mobility in someone with Duchenne. Stretching should not be painful. DO NOT continue to do the stretch if it causes pain, you notice difficulty breathing, or discomfort. Each stretch/position should be held for 30 seconds and can be repeated up to 3 times.
Benefits of these exercises vary: they may help to keep the joint mobile within its available range, may increase your tolerance to stretch, may improve circulation to the muscle, may decrease comfort, and may give a feeling of well-being.
Consult your Physical Therapist to ask if these are appropriate for you.
