Satellite Stem Cells and Muscular Dystrophy

Satellite Stem Cells and Muscular Dystrophy

Satellite stem cells or myosatellite cells are quiescent stem cells that Alexander Mauro first identified in 1961. These cells are located between the sarcolemma, the plasma membrane of muscle fibers, and the basal lamina, the connective tissue sheath covering it. These mononucleated cells are activated in response to muscle injury, can transform into myoblasts, and may form or repair muscle fibers. Myosatellite cells can provide additional myonuclei for muscle regeneration or return to a...

Summary

This review found no studies on standing devices for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). More research is needed to understand the benefits of standing frames and orthoses for individuals with DMD.

Rehabilitation Medicine
Orthotics and Prosthetics

Background:

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a common X-linked neuromuscular disorder.
Boys with DMD typically lose ambulation and require wheelchair use in their second decade.
Standing devices and orthoses are crucial in managing DMD, but their specific effects are unconfirmed.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the impact of standing devices and orthoses on musculoskeletal impairments in boys and men with DMD.
To assess secondary outcomes including quality of life, participation, and patient satisfaction.
To identify any adverse events associated with the use of these devices.

Main Methods:

Searched multiple databases including Cochrane, MEDLINE, Embase, and PEDro up to September 2019.
Included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and quasi-RCTs of standing devices for DMD.
Considered various control groups, including no intervention or usual care.

Main Results:

Thirteen potentially relevant studies were identified.
None of the identified studies met the inclusion criteria for the review.

Conclusions:

There is a lack of high-quality evidence (RCTs or quasi-RCTs) on the effectiveness of standing devices for Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
Further research is essential to determine the benefits and safety of standing devices in this population.
