Management of a 25-Year-Old Female Patient With Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy With Physiotherapy: A Case Report.

Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) is a collection of neuromuscular diseases that develop gradually and are rare, genetically, and clinically diverse. The weakness in muscles affecting the shoulder and pelvic girdles is a defining feature of LGMD. Calpainopathy is another name for limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2A (LGMD2A). Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2A results from alterations in the calpain-3 (CAPN3) gene, which results in a CAPN3 protein shortage. Gower's sign is most commonly found in LGMD2A. The prevalence ranges from one person in every 14,500 to one in every 123,000. We present a case of a 25-year-old hypotensive female patient who complained of weakness in all four limbs and easy fatigue with a positive Gower's sign. For subsequent management, the neurologist referred the patient to the physical therapy department. The physical therapy goals included enhanced muscle strength, increased joint mobility, reduced fatigue, normalizing gait, and building dynamic balance and postural stability. Diagnosing LGMD clinical variability is important, emphasizing the importance of precise subtype identification and tailoring therapy. Tackling specific muscular deficits and functional restrictions emerges as a critical component in the holistic care of LGMD by physiotherapists. Continuous monitoring and evaluation using appropriate scales and measurements are essential for tracking performance and tailoring treatment strategies. Regular follow-up consultations with the physiotherapist are needed to identify changes in an individual's health and alter the treatment plan accordingly.
