The most common, yet most severe form (Duchenne muscular dystrophy), was studied by a French neurologist by the name of Guillaume Duchenne. There are a variety of different types of muscular dystrophy that can occur as a child or as an adult that include: Becker muscular dystrophy, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy, Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy, Limb-Girdle muscular dystrophy, congenital muscular dystrophy, Oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy, distal muscular dystrophy, and Mytonic dystrophy.
Muscular Dystrophy Muscular dystrophy is a genetic disease that causes your muscle fibers to be more pone to damage, causing them to get weaker.
