Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) is a disease that causes the muscles to deteriorate. It is one of several muscular dystrophies, which are genetic (or inherited) diseases of the voluntary muscles or the muscles used to move parts of the body. Although BMD may affect all of the voluntary muscles, patients tend to maintai...
