Becker Muscular Dystrophy, Myopathies, PhysiotherapyAbstract
Muscular Dystrophies are uncommon diseases and unknown by some physicians. We present a patient with the diagnosis of Becker Muscular Dystrophy in advanced stage with conspicuous physical findings, compatible family and pas t hi story and characteristic muscular biopsy. Although the DNA analysis didn't show deletions in the implied gene, the diagnosis was c1inically confirmed. We related some differential diagnosis and discussed the therapeutic aspects. These diseases must be considered in all patients with muscular weakness, specially children, regarding the need of a precocious physiatric and genetic counseling.
