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. In general, only voluntary movement muscles are affected, but some forms of this disease can also affect the heart and other involuntary movement organs.

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.
