for Muscular Dystrophy
Muscular Dystrophy is a group of over 30 genetic diseases. Genetic mutations in the proteins cause progressive muscle weakness. This can lead to muscle stiffness, contractures, difficulty walking, or the inability to walk.
The symptoms can make it difficult to do simple tasks like showering or brushing your hair. Use these adaptive devices to help you keep your independence and make your bathroom routine easier.
