Learn more about the different types of muscle contractions, how to do them, what they’re used for, and the benefits.

Genetic mutations in the dystrophin gene resulting in Becker lead to contraction-induced muscle damage, which is the primary driver of muscle loss and impaired motor function in muscular dystrophies.

DMD, the most common type of muscular dystrophy, is caused by the absence of dystrophin, a protein that protects muscle from contraction-induced damage.

Researchers at the Universities of Maynooth and Bonn discover a new connection in muscular dystrophy Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is the most common muscle disease in children and is passed ...

What causes muscle twitching? Our body's nervous system is constantly telling our muscles what to do without our having to consciously thinking about each action.

Expert diagnostic services and treatment are provided for patients with common and rare disorders of the muscular system, including muscular dystrophies. Myopathic (myo = muscle, pathy = disease) ...

Researchers at the University of Cincinnati say a regulatory protein found in skeletal muscle fiber may play an important role in the body's fight or flight response when encountering stressful ...
