Rehabilitation in Muscular Dystrophies From the Hospital Facility to the Home: Pilot Project [RIMUDI]
Sponsor: IRCCS Eugenio Medea
Summary
Until twenty years ago physical exercise in muscular dystrophies was considered harmful to the muscle cells, inducing an acceleration of cell necrosis. In fact, it is now certain and validated that an active lifestyle and the practice of controlled and regular physical activity are to be considered therapeutic in neuromuscular pathologies with the aim of optimizing muscular and cardio-respiratory function and preventing atrophy In particular, it seems that the optimal care is extensive and can be carried out in a safe and controlled manner even at home. It is well documented that exercise has beneficial effects on muscle with increased strength and muscular endurance.

tele-rehabilitation system with virtual reality Home Kit - Virtual Reality Rehabilitation System (VRRS KHYMEIA)
A personalized exercise plan following macro-areas of objectives: * maintenance of muscle lengths with selective and/or prolonged static stretching exercises; * maintenance/improvement of muscle trophism with selective and/or postural and/or functional muscle recruitment exercises at moderate intensity (approximately 65%-70% of the maximum); * maintenance of respiratory muscle weakness with thoracic and/or diaphragmatic breathing exercises combined with muscle exercise; * endurance training with walking, cycle ergometer (to be used with both the upper and lower limbs) and treadmill at moderate intensity (approximately 65%-70% of the maximum). Home treatment will mostly take place with the KHYMEIA tele-rehabilitation system.
