Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophies treatment in Celaya

Limb-girdle muscular dystrophies are a group of diseases of genetic origin that progressively weaken the muscles near the shoulders and hips, that is, the so-called shoulder and pelvic girdles.

Frequent symptoms:

• Difficulty getting up, climbing stairs, or carrying objects.
• Frequent falls or muscle fatigue.
• Changes in the way of walking as time goes on.

Common causes: They are due to hereditary abnormalities that affect the proteins necessary for the proper functioning of the muscle.

When is a checkup worthwhile? If a child shows muscle weakness, delay in reaching certain motor milestones, or unusual fatigue, it is important to evaluate it in time. The pediatrician can perform the first evaluation and, if necessary, refer to a specialist in neuromuscular diseases for appropriate follow-up.
