Muscular Dystrophy
Muscular Dystrophy is a group of genetic disorders characterised by progressive muscle weakness and degeneration. This condition primarily affects skeletal muscles, impairing movement and coordination. Various types of Muscular Dystrophy exist, with Duchenne being the most common. Diagnosis typically involves genetic testing, and while no cure exists, treatments focus on managing symptoms.
