ROM and ratio of thoracic ROM to pelvic ROM
| Instructed walking speed | HC (n = 30) | NDL (n = 50) | DL (n = 10) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pelvic ROM | Low speed | 6.9 (1.5) | 5.0 (1.5) | 6.1 (1.8) |
| Preferred speed | 8.2 (1.7) | 5.4 (1.6) | 5.9 (2.1) | |
| High speed | 9.7 (1.8) | 5.8 (1.9) | 6.0 (1.8) | |
| Thoracic ROM | Low speed | 4.6 (1.2) | 5.3 (1.6) | 10.7 (2.1) |
| Preferred speed | 4.9 (1.2) | 5.3 (1.4) | 9.1 (2.8) | |
| High speed | 5.4 (1.3) | 5.4 (1.4) | 8.7 (2.0) | |
| Ratio | Low speed | 0.7 (0.2) | 1.2 (0.5) | 1.8 (0.5) |
| Preferred speed | 0.6 (0.2) | 1.1 (0.5) | 1.7 (0.6) | |
| High speed | 0.6 (0.1) | 1.0 (0.5) | 1.7 (0.6) |
Values are given as mean (SD). Abbreviations: ROM, Range of Motion; HC, healthy control group; NDL, patients without a Duchenne limp; DL, patients with a Duchenne limp. Thoracic and pelvic ROM are expressed in degrees (°).
