Investigations using mouse models have provided seminal insights into the pathogenesis of Duchenne muscular dystrophy and the development of novel therapeutics. Several important methods have been considered standard-in-the-field for analyses of skeletal muscle weakness, strength, endurance, and histopathology, as well as responses to therapeutics such as glucocorticoids, disease modifying drugs which are part of the current standard of care for patients with this disease. Here we describe optimized genetic, genomic, and physiologic assays to probe dystrophic pathobiology in the mdx mouse and related strains.
