AB Relatively  benign  congenital  muscular  dystrophy  usually  beginning  in  late  childhood  or  adolescence  and  characterized  clinically  by  early  muscle  contractures  leading  to  toe-walking,  rigid  spine,  calf  hypertrophy,  and  loss  of  muscular  movements  mainly  in  the  shoulders,  upper  arms  and  the  lower  legs.  This  medical  condition  also  affects  the  cardiac  muscles  and  conduction  pathways.  This  medical  condition  is  often  defined  as  a  triad  of  muscular  atrophy,  upper  arms  and  lower  legs  contractures,  and  cardiomyopathy.
