This article reviews the current knowledge regarding the benefits and
contraindications of exercise on individuals with neuromuscular diseases (NMDs).
Specific exercise prescriptions for individuals with NMDs do not exist because
the evidence base is limited. Understanding the effect of exercise on individuals
with NMDs requires the implementation of a series of multicenter, randomized
controlled trials that are sufficiently powered and use reliable and valid
outcome measures to assess the effect of exercise interventions-a major effort
for each NMD. In addition to traditional measures of exercise efficacy, outcome
variables should include measures of functional status and health-related quality
of life.
