Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Muscular dystrophy is a progressive disease accompanied with muscular atrophy. It is impossible for patients with muscular dystrophy to change their postures to the surrounding furnitures. If it is possible that they tune the environment to their freedom of mobility, they will do their work easily and comfortably. Normal subjects were directed to mimic patients and to consider that they wereperforming some kinds of daily works on a board. They are asked to place a board in an easy and comfortable position. Findings derived from the tests are: the range of the horizontal movement of the board is lesser than 110mm; the range of vertical movement is lesser than 217mm.
