Muscular Dystrophy Stem Cell Treatment Services

Dystrophy stands for a group of inherited diseases in which the voluntary muscles progressively weaken. In some forms of this disease, the heart and other organs are also affected. There are 9 types of muscular dystrophy:
myotonic
duchenne
becker
limb-girdle
facioscapulohumeral
congenital
oculopharyngeal
distal
emery-dreifuss
in dystrophy, a particular part of the body weakens or wastes away. In muscular dystrophy, the weakness affects the muscles. An inherited genetic mistake prevents the body from making a protein that helps build muscles and keep them strong. Children who are born with muscular dystrophy usually develop normally in the first few years of life. They may suddenly show signs of clumsiness. These signs include:
trouble walking
difficulty raising the front of their foot (called foot drop)
falling
