Sponsor: Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial aims to establish if there are meaningful benefits to providing a hydrotherapy service for young people with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). The main aims are to: 1. to allocate a clinical physiotherapist to a project implementing hydrotherapy in young patients with DMD to establish whether there are meaningful benefits to their daily life. 2. to conduct patient and parent interviews to understand the barriers to completing a hydrotherapy intervention and ensure future research addresses meaningful outcomes for those with DMD.
