People with muscular dystrophy (MD) often experience progressive muscle weakness, frequent falls, difficulty walking, trouble with balance, and in some cases, breathing or cardiac complications. These symptoms can make it challenging to perform physically demanding work, and even tasks requiring fine motor skills — such as typing, gripping, or writing — may become increasingly difficult. Treatment options typically include physical therapy, assistive devices, medications to slow muscle degeneration, and supportive care for respiratory or cardiac issues. While these interventions can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life, muscular dystrophy is a genetic, progressive condition that cannot be cured. Over time, muscle weakness tends to worsen, leading to greater limitations that interfere with the ability to sustain employment.
