Syndrome‚ which occurs when a male has an extra X chromosome‚ affects cognitive and physical development (“Klinefelter Syndrome‚” par. 1). In addition to these disorders‚ there are also sex-linked disorders like colorblindness‚ hemophilia‚ and muscular dystrophy. One must also consider recessive disorders‚ dominant disorders‚ and codominant disorders which have been identified and understood partly because of Watson and Crick’s DNA research.

The disorders that have been traced to recessive gene alleles are; Cystic fibrosis‚ PKU‚ Sickle-cell anemia‚ Tay-Sachs disease‚ Thalassemia‚ Hemophilia‚ and Duchenne’s’ muscular dystrophy. The last two disorders mentioned are X linked and are expressed primarily or exclusively in males (Table 2.3‚ p.41).

disability means one has an impairment that one can see and touch. Physical disabilities are diagnosed using standardized‚ quantifiable laboratory procedures. Presently there are more know types of physical disabilities such as cerebral palsy‚ muscular dystrophy‚ and sensory impairments. These disabilities all have specific symptoms and can be confirmed through standardized testing. Acquired physical disabilities result from some bodily injury such as brain trauma. Congenial physical disabilities are

Dialysis as well as natural remedies can correct the disease if caught at an early stage. Muscular system diseases include muscle pain‚ weakness in the muscles and paralysis. There are various causes‚ for example hormonal disorders‚ auto-immune problem‚ genetic factor‚ infections‚ cancer or misuse of the muscle. One such disease of the muscles

Cystic fibrosis‚ hemophilia‚ Huntington’s disease‚ Marfan’s disease‚ muscular dystrophy‚ Tay Sachs‚ spinal muscular atrophy‚ and sickle cell anemia are just some of the disorders that can be identified using PDG technique.

This current is usually proportional to the level of the muscle activity. An EMG is also referred to as a myogram. EMGs can be used to detect abnormal electrical activity of muscle that can occur in many diseases and conditions‚ including muscular dystrophy‚ inflammation of muscles‚ pinched nerves‚ peripheral nerve damage (damage to nerves in the arms and legs)‚ amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)‚ myasthenia gravis‚ disc herniation‚ and others.
