MDA
  1.                  Muscular Dystrophy

  3. Muscular dystrophy (MD) refers to a group of
    more than 30 inherited diseases that cause
    muscle weakness and muscle loss. Some forms
    of MD appear in infancy or childhood, while
    others may not appear until middle age or later.
    The different muscular dystrophies vary in who
    they affect and the symptoms. All forms of MD
    grow worse as the person's muscles get weaker.
    Most people with MD eventually lose the ability
    to walk.

  5. There is no cure for muscular dystrophy.
    Treatments include physical and speech
    therapy, orthopedic devices, surgery and
    medications. Some people with muscular
    dystrophy have mild cases that worsen slowly.
    Others cases are disabling and severe.
