Muscular dystrophy (MD) is a group of muscle diseases that weaken the musculoskeletal system and hamper locomotion. Muscular dystrophies are characterized by progressive skeletal muscle weakness, defects in muscle proteins, and the death of muscle cells and tissue. Symptoms: Progressive muscular wasting Poor balance Drooping eyelids Atrophy Scoliosis Inability to walk Frequent falls Waddling gait Calf deformation Limited range of movement Respiratory difficulty Joint contractures Cardiomyopathy Arrhythmias Muscle spasms
