MD is a genetic disease that causes weakness, loss of muscle strength and reduction of muscle volume. In addition to numerous secondary difficulties, mobility is impaired, leading to the loss of the ability to walk independently. Over 80% patients move around using manual or electric wheelchairs. Due to muscle weakness, damage to vital organs develops and there is a weakening of the functions of breathing, swallowing and heart failure, which are also the main causes of mortality. The most severe forms of MD are: Spinal muscular atrophy - SMA, Duchenne muscular dystrophy - DMD and Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis - ALS.
