There is no known cure for muscular dystrophy. Inactivity (such
as bed-rest and even
sitting for long periods) can worsen the disease. Physical
therapy, Occupational therapy, speech therapy and orthopedic
instruments (e.g., wheelchairs,
standing frames)
may be helpful.
There is no specific treatment for any of the forms of muscular
dystrophy. Physical therapy to prevent contractures (a
condition when an individual with a muscular dystrophy grows and
the muscles don't move with the bones and can easily be slowed down
and/or make the individual's body straighter by daily physical
therapy), orthoses (orthopedic
appliances used for support) and corrective orthopedic
surgery may be needed to improve the quality of life in some
cases. The cardiac problems that occur with Emery-Dreifuss
muscular dystrophy and myotonic
muscular dystrophy may require a pacemaker.
The myotonia (delayed
relaxation of a muscle after a strong contraction) occurring in
myotonic muscular dystrophy may be treated with medications such as
quinine, phenytoin, or mexiletine but no
actual long term treatment has been found.
Occupational
therapy assists the individual with MD in engaging in his/her
activities
of daily living (self-feeding, self-care activities, etc) and
leisure activities at the most independent level possible. This may
be achieved with use of adapted equipment or the utilization of
energy conservation techniques. Occupational therapy may also
implement changes to a person's environment, both at home or work,
to increase the individual's function and accessibility.
Occupational therapists also address psychosocial changes and
cognitive decline which may accompany MD as well as provide support
and education about the disease to the family and
individual.[8]
