What is another word for distal muscular dystrophy?
Pronunciation: [dɪstˈal mˈʌskjʊlə dˈɪstɹəfi] (IPA) 
Distal muscular dystrophy is a debilitating condition that causes weakening and wasting of muscles, particularly in the limbs and feet. There are several types of distal muscular dystrophy, each with its own unique set of symptoms and progression. Some synonyms for this condition include "distal myopathy," "distal neuropathy," and "nonaka distal myopathy." While each of these terms may refer to slightly different subtypes of the disease, they are all used interchangeably to describe the progressive muscle weakness and degeneration associated with distal muscular dystrophy. While there is currently no cure for this condition, treatment options are available to manage symptoms and improve quality of life for those affected.
