Muscular Dystrophy :
Muscular dystrophy is a genetic neuromuscular condition that causes progressive weakness and breakdown of the muscle. There are approximately 30 different types of muscular dystrophy conditions namely becker muscular dystrophy, congenital muscular dystrophy, duchenne muscular dystrophy, myotonic dystrophy, and oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy etc associated with symptoms such as difficulty in jumping, running, frequent falls, difficulty in getting up from the floor, waddling walk, muscle cramps, poor posture, speech and vision problems, loss of reflex, and poor motor skills etc. Genetic testing, muscle biopsy, and electromyography are some of the reliable investigations performed to diagnose this condition. Unfortunately, there is no permanent cure for muscular dystrophy and treatment involves providing symptomatic relief and other preventive measures that aids to manage the conditions.
