This muscular dystrophy child is nine years old, and now his feet have been deformed. Can this be restored?

What should children with muscular dystrophy do?

1, general treatment.

Nutrition: Fruits and vegetables with low sugar, low fat and rich vitamins should be eaten.

Exercise: Exercise regularly under the guidance of a neurologist every day. Long-term persistence can delay muscle atrophy and weakness.

Education: Parents should pay more attention to and encourage their children and arrange their regular life and study reasonably.

2. Use drugs under the guidance of specialists.

3. Physical therapy and massage can improve the local blood circulation of children with DMD and prevent joint contracture.

4. In the early stage of surgical treatment of DMD, Achilles tendon release and scoliosis correction can be considered to prolong limb movement time.

5, basic replacement therapy This is currently recognized as the most promising treatment method, which can improve the function of dystrophin produced by muscle fibers in children.

Symptoms of muscular dystrophy in children

1, Duchenne muscular dystrophy: X-linked recessive inheritance, male onset, female carrying abnormal genes but not onset. More common in children, and gradually progress. At first, I was unstable in walking, easy to fall, and difficult to go upstairs. Later, it became difficult to walk. Before 12 years old, he could not walk and had to stay in bed.

2, Becker muscular dystrophy: also known as benign muscular dystrophy, is also an X-linked recessive inheritance, male onset, female transmission. The onset of patients over 5-20 years old is similar to Duchenne type, but the course of disease is benign. They can still walk at the age of 12, but most of them can't walk after the onset of 15-20 years, and myocardial involvement and mental retardation are rare.

3, Erd muscular dystrophy: also known as limb girdle muscular dystrophy, is autosomal recessive inheritance and can occur in both men and women. It begins in the 20-30 s and mainly involves the proximal muscles, usually affecting the upper limbs first and the lower limbs many years later. Occasionally gastrocnemius pseudohypertrophy.

4.Landouzy-Dejerine muscular dystrophy: also known as facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy, is an autosomal dominant inheritance, which can occur in both men and women. Usually in adolescence, it first affects the muscles of the face and scapula, showing a special "myopic face". During the examination, we can find that the strength of frowning, frowning, bulging cheeks, closing eyes and opening mouth is weak, and the muscles of deltoid muscle, biceps brachii muscle and brachioradialis muscle atrophy is obvious.
