Since the gradual weakness of the respiratory muscles, especially the diaphragm, induces respiratory complications, monitoring the lung function of people with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is essential. It is noteworthy that this deficiency in the respiratory system is the leading cause of death in patients with DMD. The objective was to correlate the motor and respiratory function of individuals with DMD. 14 individuals were evaluated, 09 being subdivided in the study group and 05 in the control group; all male, aged 11.3 (± 0.5) years, were evaluated using the scales for measuring motor function (MFM), Elgen Klassifikation (EK) and spirometry and manovacuometry tests. The MFM, EK, spirometry and manovacuometry variables were analyzed using the t-student test (p<0.05). Significant values were considered between motor function and spirometric variables and respiratory pressures analyzed using the Pearson correlation index. A significant reduction in motor function and greater functional dependence has been demonstrated in individuals with DMD. Spirometric and manovacuometric evaluations showed a reduction in lung function, and the correlations were significant, showing a strong relationship between the decline in motor function concomitant with lung function. The results of this study indicate that the impairment of motor function predicts the intensity of respiratory changes. It can be concluded that, in individuals with DMD, motor and respiratory function are reduced with advancing age; and that functional performance and respiratory conditions are directly associated. It is suggested that respiratory treatment should be combined with functional performance treatment.
