This entry is adapted from the peer-reviewed paper https://medlineplus.gov/genetics/condition/limb-girdle-muscular-dystrophy

Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy is a term for a group of diseases that cause weakness and wasting of the muscles in the arms and legs. The muscles most affected are those closest to the body (proximal muscles), specifically the muscles of the shoulders, upper arms, pelvic area, and thighs.
