Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a fatal genetic disorder that causes progressive muscle weakness throughout your body. This disorder is caused my mutations in the dystrophin gene. The dystrophin gene is responsible for the production of a muscle protein. So the muscles suffer a loss of protein and contractile fibers. Then the muscles replaced with fat and connective tissue. DMD mostly affects young males exclusively due to an x-linked recessive inheritance pattern

Explain the relationship between the skeletal and muscular systems. The relationship between the skeletal and muscular systems is that we are made up of bones all throughout our body and we need this to stand and hold our body together‚ similar to the skeletal system the muscular system is made up of soft tissue and is lined all over our body. We could not stand without the system as well. 2. Why is the circulatory system important? This system is important because it is used to circulate blood

Muscular strength is the ability of the muscles to apply force against a body or object. Muscular strength is also required for all movements of the skeleton‚ especially in reference to exercise and sport‚ because it enables the body to generate more force against an object‚ improving the performance and movement efficiency. Strength training is a sort of physical exercise using resistance to induce muscular contraction which will build the strength and anaerobic endurance. The structures involved

Muscular dystrophy (MD) is a group of genetic diseases involving progressive weakness and degeneration of the muscles that control movement. In some forms of MD‚ the heart muscles and other involuntary muscles‚ as well as other organs‚ are affected. There are 9 distinct types of MD. Myotonic MD is the most common form among adults‚ while Duchenne MD is the most common form among children (it affects only boys). Some are severe diseases at birth that lead to early death. Others follow very slow progressive

Muscular Dystrophy: any of a group of hereditary diseases marked by progressive wasting of certain "muscles." (Oxford) A general term for a group of inherited disorders which are characterized by progressive degeneration of skeletal muscles. A group of inherited progressive muscle disorders characterized by muscle weakness and eventual death of the muscle tissues. Examples include “Duchenne muscular dystrophy” and “Becker’s muscular dystrophy.” (NCIt) All of the muscles may be affected. Or‚ only

Muscular Dystrophy is a disorder that is passed down through families‚ and can occur in both adulthood‚ and childhood. There are multiple types of Muscular Dystrophy such as Becker MD‚ Duchenne MD(deadly)‚ Emery-Deifuss MD‚ Facioscapulohumeral MD‚ Limb-Girdle MD‚ Myotonia MD‚ Mytonic MD etc.. Symptoms related to muscular dystrophy inlcue muscle weakness(slowly gets worse over time)‚ delayed development to muscle motor skills‚ loss of strength in a muslce/group of muscles‚ loss in muscle size‚ difficulty

Principles of Muscular Flexibility The overload and specificity of training principles also apply to development of muscular flexibility. To increase the total range of motion (ROM) of a joint‚ the specific muscles surrounding that joint have to be stretched progressively beyond their accustomed length. The principles of MODE‚ INTENSITY‚ REPETITIONS and FREQUENCY of exercise also can be applied to flexibility programs. 1.MODE OF EXERCISE * BALLISTIC STRETCHING Ballistic stretching is
