What does MD look like?

MD, or muscular dystrophy, is a group of genetic disorders characterized by progressive muscle weakness and degeneration. Symptoms often include difficulty walking, frequent falls, muscle cramps, and a decrease in muscle mass. Over time, individuals may experience challenges with mobility and daily activities, and some forms can also affect the heart and respiratory muscles. The appearance of someone with MD may vary depending on the specific type and severity, but they often show signs of muscle wasting and weakness.
