Muscular Dystrophy

A group of inherited diseases that damage and weaken your muscles over time are Muscular dystrophy. This damage and weakness is thanks to the shortage of a protein called dystrophin, which is important for normal muscle function. Problems with walking, swallowing, and muscle coordination could be caused by the absence of this protein.

The prognosis for dystrophy depends on the sort and therefore the severity of symptoms. However, most people with dystrophy do lose the power to steer and eventually require a wheelchair. There’s no known cure for dystrophy, but certain treatments may help.
