Overview ❀ Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy - LGMD, like other muscular dystrophies, is primarily a disorder of voluntary muscles. These are the muscles you use to move the limbs, neck, trunk and other parts of the body that are under voluntary control. Over time, muscle weakness and atrophy can lead to limited mobility and an inability to raise the arms above the shoulders.

Now, as long as there’s a ramp, I go wherever I want. It took me a while to see it, but my wheelchair gave me freedom.” Gillespie, New View, Limb, Benton, Depressed
