Activities that Benefit Muscular Dystrophy Patients
Stay active
Finally, it is important to understand that a person suffering from MD should be involved in regular physical activities. Any kind of activity that is enjoyed and is not over demanding. Rather than spending most of the time in front of the television or playing video games. The secret is simple, just keep moving and that will enable a person to prolong the movements.
