Hey Folks

Linda Lowes PT, PhD (in association with Jerry Mendell) is doing an outcome measure study at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. They are recruiting for ambulatory BMD participants, so don't hesitate to call or email.

Nationwide Children's Hospital is conducting research to discover what outcome measures are best for evaluating an upcoming gene therapy trial in BMD patients by Dr. Jerry Mendell.   See related NPR story on this at http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=120316010.

If you have been diagnosed with Becker Muscular Dystrophy, are still walking and are interested in participating, please contact at (614) 722-4036 or email Linda.Lowes@NationwideChildrens.org for screening.
