1. As muscle deteriorates, a person with DMD often develops fixations of the joints, known as contractures, which can be thought of as scar-like changes of muscle.
2. Contractures can affect the ankles, knees, hips, feet, elbows, wrists, and fingers.
3. Range-of-motion exercises, performed on a regular schedule, may help delay contractures by keeping tendons from shortening prematurely.
4. Braces on the lower legs also can help keep the limbs stretched and flexible, delaying the onset of contractures.
