Cardiac disease may be present in up to 33%. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Only the first and second heart sounds were present. The lung fields were clear and the liver was not palpable. [chs-journal.com]

It usually presents within the first decade of life. The most common presenting complaint is primarily myalgia, followed by ‘rippling muscles’ and proximal muscle weakness [ 68 ]. [content.iospress.com]

An algorithm has been presented to help the clinical evaluation [Algorithm 1]. [annalsofian.org]

Reaching a diagnosis involves combining information from the clinical presentation and various investigations, mainly serum creatine kinase (CK), muscle biopsy and genetic testing. [patient.info]

  First, an electric skillet is intended to cook daily foodstuffs such as omelets, chicken, soup, meat, grilled cheese sandwiches, and fish fry. There is one thing you should know about electric skillets. [musclegenetable.org]

• Proximal Muscle Weakness

  In addition to proximal muscle weakness, there may or may not be: Distal muscle weakness. Muscle hypertrophy. Contractures. Involvement of the heart, respiratory muscles or tongue. (Facial weakness is not usual.) [patient.info]

  Patients generally present with slowly progressive weakness and wasting restricted to the proximal muscles. The occurrence of the cardiac disease varies with the genotype. [chs-journal.com]

  Defects in FKTN are the cause of cardiomyopathy dilated type 1X (CMD1X); also called dilated cardiomyopathy with mild or no proximal muscle weakness. [mybiosource.com]

  Heterogeneity is seen between subtypes in presenting complaint, most but not all, experience proximal muscle weakness or myalgia. [content.iospress.com]

  Nalini et al. [78] identified two such patients who had lower-limb proximal muscle weakness with foot drop, severe wasting of tibialis anterior. [annalsofian.org]

• Lordosis

  Affected individuals may also have an abnormally curved lower back (lordosis) or a spine that curves to the side (scoliosis). Some develop joint stiffness (contractures) that can restrict movement in their hips, knees, ankles, or elbows. [lgmd-info.org]

  Affected individuals may also have an abnormally curved lower back ( lordosis ) or a spine that curves to the side ( scoliosis ). Some develop joint stiffness (contractures) that can restrict movement in their hips, knees, ankles, or elbows. [ghr.nlm.nih.gov]

  Children walk with waddle and exhibit lordosis. Cardiac involvement is known but not as common or prominent as in dystrophinopathies. [annalsofian.org]

• Gowers Sign

  Monarch’s tools are designed to make it easier to compare the signs and symptoms (phenotypes) of different diseases and discover common features. [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]

  Is there a finding (or history) of Gower's sign? This is seen in patients with proximal muscle weakness of the lower limb: when rising to stand, they use the hands as support, such that the hands 'climb up the legs'. [patient.info]

Prognosis - Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy- type 2E Leg cramps at night a classic sign: The symptom of having leg muscle cramps, particularly at night, is a classic sign of undiagnosed diabetes. However, there are also various other causes. [checkorphan.org]

Prognosis: An active lifestyle is not possible in this disease much beyond the first decade. Life expectancy with good supportive care is good, however, since many individuals live to adulthood and one patient lived into the seventh decade. [wohproject.org]

Chronic pain can occur, and pain management should be part of care. [ 19 ] Prognosis This depends on the type of LGMD and whether there is cardiac or respiratory involvement. In general, all types of LGMD progress with time. [patient.info]

[…] corticosteroids in LGMD 2C-F individuals, shows some improvement [9] Additionally individuals can follow management that follows: [3] Occupational therapy Respiratory therapy Speech therapy Neutralizing antibody to myostatin should not be pursued In terms of the prognosis [en.wikipedia.org]

A physiotherapist can recommend stretches to keep joints supple and if necessary special splints (orthoses) to prevent muscle shortening (contractures) which are common in some types of LGMD. [mda.org.au]
