Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) Treatment is using physiotherapies such as corticosteroids, which slow the progression of the disease

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) treatment tries to alleviate the symptoms of a progressive muscle-weakening condition that typically affects the arms, chest, and jaw muscles. DMD is an inherited muscle disorder that often manifests in adolescent or early adulthood, while it can sometimes manifest after the age of forty. It's an incurable muscle illness, which means there's no cure at the moment. It primarily affects men rather than women, and only around 1 in every 3500 male births is affected. In most cases, it runs in families.

Bedriddenness can also be caused by muscle weakness. Patients who lack strong muscles find it difficult to get out of bed on their own.
