Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a progressive disorder. It is the most typical X-linked muscular dystrophy in children. It primarily affects males and is characterized by motor delays, muscle weakness, respiratory impairment, and loss of ambulation. A case study of a nine-year-old male diagnosed with DMD is presented. The patient had difficulty walking since the age of four and had a proximal lower extremity weakness on both sides previously with a reduced range of motion (ROM). For the last 15 days, the patient is unable to walk and has hypotonia in both lower limbs. The diagnostic Gowers sign was positive. Balance and mobility were affected. Treatment of this patient is focused mostly on maintaining the range of motion (ROM), respiratory training, and balance.
