Intelligence tests were carried out on 34 boys with muscular dystrophy. The 16 who were mildly physically disabled scored significantly lower on the verbal scale (mean 85·3) of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC) than on the performance scale (mean 97·6). The 18 who were moderately or markedly physically disabled showed no significant difference between their mean verbal (87·6) and performance (89·7) scores. The results are interpreted as suggesting an early and nonprogressive impairment of verbal intelligence in Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
对34名患有肌肉萎缩症的男孩进行了智力测试。16名身体轻度残疾的男孩在韦氏儿童智力量表（WISC）的言语量表（平均85.3）上的得分显著低于操作量表（平均97.6）。18名身体中度或重度残疾的男孩在言语量表（平均87.6）和操作量表（平均89.7）上的平均得分没有显著差异。研究结果表明，杜氏肌营养不良症患者的言语智力存在早期且非进行性损伤。
