Muscular Dystrophy
The Mayo Clinic defines Muscular Dystrophy a group of genetic diseases in which muscle fibers are unusually susceptible to damage. These damaged muscles become progressively weaker. Most people who have muscular dystrophy will eventually need to use a wheelchair.
There are many different kinds of muscular dystrophy. Symptoms of the most common variety begin in childhood, primarily in boys. Other types of muscular dystrophy don't surface until adulthood.
While there is no cure for muscular dystrophy, medications and therapy can slow the course of the disease.
