تحويل الحياة بـ ضمور العضلات
Muscular Dystrophy (MD) refers to a group of inherited disorders that cause progressive weakness and degeneration of skeletal muscles responsible for movement. It is caused by mutations in genes that affect muscle function, particularly the production of the protein dystrophin. The most common types include Duchenne, Becker, Myotonic, and Limb-Girdle muscular dystrophies.
There is currently no cure for muscular dystrophy, but various treatments can help slow progression, manage symptoms, and improve quality of life. Treatment typically involves a multidisciplinary approach, including medications, physical therapy, orthopedic interventions, respiratory support, and in some cases, gene-based therapies.

الخطوات النموذجية المتبعة في ضمور العضلات
1. Diagnosis & Genetic Testing:
-
Clinical examination, muscle biopsy, and genetic tests to confirm the type of MD.
2. Medications:
-
Corticosteroids (e.g., prednisone, deflazacort) to slow muscle degeneration.
-
Heart medications (e.g., beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors) for cardiomyopathy.
-
Anticonvulsants or antidepressants for associated neurological symptoms.
3. Physical & Occupational Therapy:
-
Stretching and strengthening exercises.
-
Use of braces, walkers, or wheelchairs.
-
Adaptive equipment for daily living.
4. Respiratory Support:
-
Non-invasive ventilation (e.g., BiPAP) if breathing is compromised.
-
Cough assist devices and respiratory physiotherapy.
5. Surgical Interventions:
-
Corrective surgeries for scoliosis, contractures, or cardiac issues.
6. Advanced Therapies:
-
Gene therapy (e.g., exon skipping drugs like eteplirsen for Duchenne MD).
-
Stem cell therapy (experimental).
-
Enzyme replacement therapy for some types.
7. Counseling & Support:
-
Genetic counseling for families.
-
Psychological support to manage emotional aspects.
