We’ve all heard how important a well-tailored exercise program is for people with FSH muscular dystrophy. This is easier said than done, especially if you have difficulty standing up or worry about falling during exercise. In today’s webinar, Nikia Stinson, DPT, discusses upper body weakness and pain that are frequently experienced by people with FSHD and describes exercises that can be done from a seated position to help address these issues. Dr. Stinson is a physical therapist and lead clinical evaluator for ongoing clinical research at the Kennedy Krieger Institute’s Center for Genetic Muscle Disorders.
