A muscular dystrophy is distinguished from all other neuromuscular disease by 4 obligatory criteria. It is a primary myopathy, it has genetic basis, the course is progressive and degeneration and death of muscle fibres occurs at some stage in the disease. Muscular dystrophy are a group of unrelated diseases, each transmitted by a different genetic trait and each difference in its clinical course and expression. A child who is diagnosed with Muscular dystrophy gradually loses the ability to do things like walk, sit upright, breath easily, move the arms and hand. This increasing weakness can lead the other health problems. There are several major forms of Muscular dystrophy which can affect the muscles to varing degree.
