How would you explain your research in 3 sentences to someone who is not in science?
I am working on a neuromuscular disorder called Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) which occurs predominantly in males. It is a fatal and progressive disorder of muscles damage which starts at the early age of 2-3 years. Fatality occurs in their twenties mainly due to cardiomyopathy and pulmonary dysfunction. I would be working on the yoga based intervention by targeting these clinical features.
