The interventions that were used focused on balance, ROM, introduction to respiratory training, and education about orthotics. As J.D. progressed towards the non-ambulatory phase, his performance on outcome measures declined and some measures were no longer applicable due to the loss of his functional mobility. At this stage, referral to other health professionals was needed for more detailed assessment and other intervention strategies as they would be addressed better by those professionals. Weekly physical therapy sessions will be continued to slow the disease progression. The unexpected challenges when working with patients in this population is dealing with the progressive nature of the disease. A holistic approach to treatment is needed when dealing with families of this disease as it can be emotionally draining on them. Ensuring independence for as long as possible can help increase social well-being and maintain high levels of overall quality of life for a longer period of time for the patient. Goal setting is an additional challenge that clinicians face when dealing with this population as it can be difficult to make goals that improve function and motivate the patient to achieve them. It is important to work with the patient and family to develop interventions that target compensation of function that can unveil abilities that the patient and their family may not have thought were possible given their condition. Health professionals should not settle to just maintain function but should aim to improve function through various intervention strategies. Continued monitoring of patient's status is required throughout the condition a decline in the body's systems may be gradual and may go unnoticed unless frequent reassessment occurs. When these changes unfold the treatment plan must be adjusted accordingly and new goals need to be developed. This stresses the importance of using outcome measures that are able to address changes in function across all stages of the disease. The MFM is able to accomplish this and should be used in conjunction with other tools such as the NSAA, 6MWT or [[Vignos Scale]]; which may not be applicable to the different stages and will need to be replaced. DMD can be a devastating condition to the family, however, improvements in research and high-quality multidisciplinary care has prolonged life expectancy and can maintain participation in activities that the patient feels are important for a longer period of time.
