Limb-girdle muscular dystrophies

Include at least 33 different inherited diseases. (There are 16 known genetic forms.) These disorders first affect the muscles around the shoulder girdle and hips. These diseases get worse.

CAUSES

Limb-girdle muscular dystrophies are a large group of genetic diseases in which there is muscle weakness and wasting (muscular dystrophy).

In most cases, both parents must pass on the non-working (defective) gene for a child to have the disease (autosomal recessive inheritance). In some rare types, only one parent needs to pass on the non-working gene to affect the child. This is called autosomal dominant inheritance.

For over 25 of these conditions, the defective gene has been discovered. For others, the gene is not yet known.

An important risk factor is having a family member with muscular dystrophy.

SYMPTOMS

Most often, the first sign is pelvic muscle weakness. Examples of this include trouble standing from a sitting position without using the arms, or difficulty climbing stairs. The weakness starts in childhood to young adulthood.

Other symptoms include:

1.Abnormal, sometimes waddling, walk

2.Joints that are fixed in a contracted position (late in the disease)

3.Large and muscular-looking calves (pseudohypertrophy), which are not actually strong

4.Loss of muscle mass, thinning of certain body parts

5.Low back pain
6. Palpitations or passing-out spells
7. Shoulder weakness
8. Weakness of the muscles in the face (later in the disease)
9. Weakness in the muscles of the lower legs, feet, lower arms, and hands (later in the disease)

EXAM AND TESTS

Tests may include:
1.Blood creatine kinase levels
2.DNA testing (molecular genetic testing)
3.Echocardiogram or ECG
4.Electromyogram (EMG) testing

LET US LEARN ABOUT SCIATICA

Sciatica is a common problem that accounts for most of the visits to the hospital. This problem is confusing and many people find it difficult to understand, especially how its symptoms happen along with waist pain. This short article will provide a more detailed information on most important areas of sciatica to broaden peoples’ understanding.

Sciatica is a problem with the sciatic nerve. The sciatic nerve is the largest nerve in the body. It starts at the lower lumbar segment (L4) and ends at the third sacral vertebrae (S3) and goes through the pelvis and deep muscles including the piriformis muscle - the muscle that starts in the front part of the pelvic bone and extends to the buttocks - the glutes area and hip areas.

The sciatic nerve passes through and stimulates movement of the biceps femoris, semitendinosus, and semimembranosus muscles. These three muscles or their associated tendons - where they attach to bones - are known as the “hamstrings.”
The sciatic nerve also stimulates sensations in the skin of the feet and outer portion of the calf.

Sciatica is a general term that refers to pain in the buttocks that travels to the thigh, past the knee, and may extend to the calf, foot, and toes. It is due to irritation or pressure on the root of the sciatic nerve.

Other medical terms for sciatica include radicular pain, lumbosacral radicular syndrome, nerve root pain, and nerve root entrapment.

Sciatica is usually related to a problem with the spine - the bones, discs, etc. of the back. Regardless of the spinal problem, the radiating leg pain is due to an inflamed or compressed nerve root.

CAUSES:
A herniated disc causing pressure on the sciatic nerve root
Spinal stenosis, the narrowing of the area in which the nerves pass through the spine
Degenerative disc disease, a condition with changes in the spinal discs and bones, that is usually associated with normal aging

ILIOTIBIAL BAND SYNDROME

Iliotibibial Band Syndrome is a contracture or thickening of the Iliotibial Band.The Iliotibial band is located on the outside of the leg running from the hip to the knee.

Iliotibial Band Friction Syndrome is inflammation and pain where the Iliotibial band crosses the lateral femoral condyle (outside of the leg near the knee). Iliotibial Band Syndrome or Iliotibial Band Friction Syndrome can either occur on one side of the body or both.

CAUSES OF ILIOTIBIAL BAND SYNDROME
An activity or occupation that places the knee and hip in flexion (bent knee and hip). Examples may be horseback riding, cycling or prolonged sitting Postural imbalances, Prolonged wheelchair use or bedrest.

CAUSES OF ILIOTIBIAL BAND FRICTION SYNDROME:
Prolonged repetitive activities such as running and cycling.

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF ILIOTIBIAL BAND SYNDROME

Pain is frequently gradual at beginning and worsens with an activity. Pain is felt on the outside thigh and on outside of kneeIliotibial Band becomes shorter inflammation is possible due to the tight iliotibial band rubbing over the lateral femoral condyle on outside and close to the knee.

Treatment would focus on reducing contracted fascia, muscles and pain. Techniques to reduce the Iliotibial band may come from massage, acupuncture and physiotherapy.

Some of the physiotherapy ways that can help manage the symptoms of ilitibial band syndrome will be addressed in subsequent posts. Kindly stay tuned for this.

⬆️CERVICAL SPONDYLOSIS

This condition is a common cause of most cervical pains. It is characterized by wear and tear of the cushion located between the vertebrae bones.
This cushion is the articular cartilage, a structure that is found in between two vertebrae bones.

This function of this structure is to provide cushion, nourishment, and to serve as a shock absorber. The cushion prevents direct contact of the two vertebrae bodies. As soon as it is worn out, this change triggers an inflammation, where the body end up trying to heal itself to replace the lost cartilage.

As a result, there is a new change which doesn’t not establish any positive change but rather cause more adverse effects. New bones such as osteophytes grow along the margins of the affected vertebrae and this can compress the nearest spinal nerves. In the cause of the process of the degeneration, there can be disc bulging, as well as disc herniation can also be an accompanied deteriorating change.
All these new changes resulting from the primary wear and tear of the articular cartilage is the main source other uncomfortable symptoms like pain in the cervical spine, numbness, tingling and weakness in the arms.

⬆️PHYSIOTHERAPY
Before physiotherapy comes in to play role in your cervical spondylosis, a thorough assessment will be made to establish a perfect diagnosis. Your physical therapist may ask you to go for an X-ray to help rule out any changes in your spine. When any of the above mentioned changes are visible on the X-ray report, then it gives the therapist that strong confirmation you’re suffering from cervical spondylosis and further treatment can commence.

Physiotherapy will be of greater help to victims with cervical spondylosis. Physiotherapy protocols can be of greater help to minimize most of the associated symptoms of cervical spondylosis.
It will also help to make the individual functional in ADLs to return them back to their routines. Most of the treatment protocols that can
