Muscular dystrophy is a group of genetic disorders that cause progressive muscle weakness and degeneration, affecting movement and strength over time.
Muscle weakness that worsens over time
Difficulty walking or running
Frequent falls
Muscle stiffness
Difficulty breathing or swallowing in later stages
Genetic Mutations: Inherited mutations affecting muscle proteins lead to muscle degeneration.
Family History: Muscular dystrophy often runs in families.
Lack of Dystrophin: In Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, the body doesn’t produce enough dystrophin, a protein essential for muscle function.
X-Linked Recessive Inheritance: Most forms, especially Duchenne, are inherited through an X-linked recessive pattern.
Spontaneous Mutations: Some cases arise due to spontaneous gene mutations.
Slows Muscle Degeneration: Helps manage muscle loss and improve function.
Eases Muscle Stiffness: Provides relief from stiffness and spasms.
Improves Mobility: Supports muscle strength, improving mobility over time.
Manages Breathing Difficulties: Helps in managing respiratory symptoms that arise in advanced stages.
