Muscular dystrophy is a family of syndromes
categorized by the severe deterioration of muscle tissue. It literally means
"defective nutrition of muscles" and is described by the progressive
wasting and wearying of healthy muscle tissue and is substituted by unworkable
fat and hard fibrous tissue. The ailment is considered essentially genetic.
Some researchers believe that muscular dystrophy might be instigated by a
malfunctioning of the central nerves system and others believe that the ailment
starts within the walls of the muscle cells itself.

Muscular dystrophy is different from ailments
like multiple sclerosis in that it attacks the muscles themselves; this means a
deficiency of muscle protein and the ultimate demise of muscle cells and
tissues. When a patient has multiple sclerosis, their nerves are impaired while
their muscles work fine. If the nerves cannot send signs telling the muscles to
work, then their limbs and other zones of the body will not function appropriately.
However, with MD, the nerves are fine and send the entire essential signals but
because the muscles themselves are impaired they will not obey those directions
from the nerves and so agility is limited. Those with muscular dystrophy can
also have their real growth affected. The muscles have to stretch and grow as
the bones grow but often they are impaired to the point where they are not
growing as the kid does. This can cause pain and constant weakness. This ailment
can be cured via
stem cell treatment for muscular dystrophy.
