Answer:

Muscular Dystrophy

Explanation:

Muscular dystrophy refers to the group of genetic diseases in which the muscles that control movement progressively weaken. The result of this is a difficulty that a person has in performing motor tasks, such as with Michael.

There are nine major forms of muscular dystrophy: Myotonic, Duchenne, Becker, Waist-type muscular dystrophy (Erb), Fascio-humeral muscular dystrophy, Congenital, Pharyngeal oculus muscular dystrophy, Distal muscular dystrophy, Emery-Dreifuss.
