WHAT IS MUSCLE DYSTROSPHY?
Muscular dystrophy is a group of inherited disorders that involve muscle weakness and loss of muscle tissue, which get worse over time.
There are a variety of types of muscular dystrophy, including:
Duchenne muscular dystrophy myotonic dystrophy
Becker's muscular dystrophy
Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy the limb-girdle muscular dystrophies
Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy
Oculopharyngeal dystrophy
Distal muscular dystrophy
Mitochondrial myopathies
The different types are distinguished by factors such as the: age at which symptoms usually start pattern of muscle weakness speed at which the disease progresses involvement of other tissues besides muscle pattern of inheritance
Muscular dystrophy is rare. For example, although Duchenne muscular dystrophy is one of the more common types, it occurs in only 1 out of every 50,000 people. The other types of muscular dystrophy are even rarer.
SYMPTOMS, CAUSES AND TREATMENT
WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF M.D.??
Symptoms vary with the different types of muscular dystrophy.
All of the muscles may be affected. Or, only specific groups of muscles may be affected, such as those around the pelvis, shoulder, or face. Muscular dystrophy can affect adults, but the more severe forms tend to occur in early childhood.
Symptoms include:
-Intellectual disability (only present in some types of the condition)
-Muscle weakness that slowly gets worse
Delayed development of muscle motor skills
Difficulty using one or more muscle groups
Drooling
Eyelid drooping (ptosis)
Frequent falls
Loss of strength in a muscle or group of muscles as an adult
Loss in
