Managing Muscular Dystrophy

BKiwu

Muscular Dystrophy is a degenerative condition that causes wasting of muscles and thus making its victims grow weak over time. While the disease has no cure, it can be managed through use of therapy and healthy diet to slow the muscle degeneration.

How else can muscular dystrophy be managed for better living?

Its our collective responsibility from the individual, Family and Community at large to create a conducive environment for daily living. Beginning with the physical environment having ramps, Poles for support and Adjustable doors. In Social amenities like church have a resignated area for them to attend church services for spiritual growth, in learning institutions teachers granting them opportunities to perform co curriculum activities but still under care to avoid injuries due to delicate condition. When it comes personal hygiene having an adjustable shower and large bathroom and dressing storing clothes on drawers rather than wardrobes for easier access. In health issues visiting physiotherapist frequently for some physical therapy, eating nutritious foods and taking supplements though with the advice of the doctor to support your immunity.
