    Weakness is symmetric, progressive, and proximal (on or close to the torso), usually affecting the hip girdle and shoulder girdle muscles. [1] [3] Hip weakness can manifest as a waddling gate. [1] Shoulder weakness can manifest as winged scapulas. [1] Muscle contractures, especially of the Achilles tendon, and scoliosis can also occur. [1]

  3. Limb–girdle muscular dystrophy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limb–girdle_muscular...

    By definition, all limb girdle muscular dystrophies (LGMD) cause progressive proximal weakness, [3] meaning weakness of the muscles on or close to the torso that worsens over time. Explicitly, LGMD preferentially affects muscles of the hip girdle, thigh, shoulder girdle, and/or upper arm. [8] [6] The muscle weakness is generally symmetric. [11]

[2] Conditions associated with a myopathic gait include pregnancy, congenital hip dysplasia, muscular dystrophies and spinal muscular atrophy.

This type of pelvic instability usually only occurs after an accident, or occasionally after a (small) accident in combination with giving birth.

    Distal limb muscles, limb-girdle, heart Symptoms include muscle weakness and wasting, starting in the distal limb muscles and progressing to involve the limb–girdle muscles. Most patients also have cardiac conduction defects and arrhythmias. [18] [19] Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy: 158900: DUX4: AD: Adolescence

  9. Pelvic floor dysfunction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelvic_floor_dysfunction

    By increasing abdominal muscle strength and control, a person may have an easier time activating the pelvic floor muscles in sync with the abdominal muscles. Many physiotherapists are specially trained to address the muscle weaknesses associated with pelvic floor dysfunction and can effectively treat pelvic floor dysfunction through ...
