Description:
Muscular dystrophy (MD) is a derivative of muscle diseases in which muscle fibers are highly vulnerable to damage. Muscles, primarily voluntary muscles, become increasingly weak. At the final stage of muscular dystrophy, fat and connective tissue often replace muscle fibers. Some types of muscular dystrophy affects the heart muscles, involuntary muscles and other organs.
Symptom
Signs and symptoms vary according to the type of muscular dystrophy. In general, the symptoms of muscular dystrophy include: muscle weakness, paralysis, resulting in fixation (contractures) muscles around the joints and lack of mobility.
Many of the signs and specific symptoms vary from among the types of MD. Each different type of MD in early infected, symptoms appear in areas experiencing muscular dystrophy.
Treatment
There is currently no cure for all forms of muscular dystrophy. Current treatment is designed to help prevent or reduce deformities in the joints and spine and to enable people with MD to stay bergerakn long as possible. Treatment can include various types of physical therapy, medication, hearing aids and surgery.
