Based on the patient's history which has been provided to us as well as the physical examination and the lab results the diagnosis of the patient is duchenne muscular dystrophy ok.
00:38
So, we will conclude how we have been able to diagnose this.
00:43
So, this stands for dmd ok.
00:46
So, dmd is basically it is a genetic disorder ok and the main like the main outcome of this disorder is the progressive degeneration as well as the weakness of muscle tissue ok.
01:20
So, this disease it primarily affects males ok and symptoms become quite evident in early childhood.
01:27
So, we will discuss how the patient's symptoms align with the characteristic features of dmd.
01:33
So, the first is fatigue, muscle weakness and low endurance.
01:47
So, these symptoms are very common in dmd because of the progressive muscle degeneration and also the weakening.
01:57
Now as this disease it progresses further the muscles become more and more weak ok and that leads to fatigue as well as reduced endurance.
02:06
The second is loss of coordination, progressive difficulty walking as well as awkward gait ok.
02:36
So, dmd it mainly affects the muscles which are responsible for movement and coordination ok and the loss of coordination and progressive like difficult walking these are very like common symptoms because the disease it impacts the leg muscles...
