Is muscular dystrophy and duchenne muscular dystrophy the same?

No, muscular dystrophy and Duchenne muscular dystrophy aren’t the same thing. Muscular dystrophy refers to a whole group of genetic disorders that lead to progressive muscle weakness. Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is just one type within that group, but it’s also one of the most common and severe forms. Here’s what separates them: Muscular dystrophy covers several types, like Duchenne, Becker, limb-girdle, and myotonic dystrophy. DMD happens because of mutations in the dystrophin gene. It usually appears in early childhood, almost always in boys. In DMD, muscle weakness often starts in the legs and pelvis and gets worse over time. Early diagnosis, physiotherapy, supportive care, and newer treatments help people with DMD keep their mobility and increase their quality of life. MedicoExperts can help you find right treatments and therapies for DMD and MD.


What kind of doctor treats muscular dystrophy?

I have SMA type III (spinal muscular atrophy), a form of muscular dystrophy, and I have always seen and/or been treated by neurologists recommended by MDA. You can contact the national Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) either locally or online at http://www.mda.org for additional information or if you have questions you've been unable to find answers for. They are invaluable to families and individuals alike. Further personal research can be done using a search engine such as Google and entering the terms "neurology" and "muscular dystrophy."
