Abstract
In this study, the importance of upper extremity function in patients with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy was analysed. The loss of upper extremity skills in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy and the negative effects of this condition on patients were highlighted. The importance of upper extremity skills in activities of daily living was discussed. Attention was drawn to upper extremity-oriented evaluation and intervention approaches in the early period of the disease and in the later stages of the disease when ambulation is lost.

Abstract
Bu çalışmada Duchenne Musküler Distrofi hastalarında üst ekstremite fonksiyonunun önemini incelendi. Duchenne Musküler Distrofi hastalarında üst ekstremite beceri kayıpları ve bu durumun hastalar üzerindeki olumsuz etkileri vurgulandı. Üst ekstremite becerilerinin günlük yaşam aktiviteleri içerisindeki önemi ele alındı. Hastalığın erken dönem ve ambulasyonun kaybedildiği ilerleyen süreçlerinde üst ekstremite odaklı değerlendirme ve müdahale yaklaşımlarına dikkat çekildi.
