Pain in muscle.

A functional motor deficit where individuals whose responses to the challenges of exercise fail to achieve levels considered normal for their age and gender.

Reduced strength and weakness of the muscles of the arms and legs.

Weakness of the limb-girdle muscles (also known as the pelvic and shoulder girdles), that is, lack of strength of the muscles around the shoulders and the pelvis.

A sensation that the heart is pounding or racing, which is a non-specific sign but may be a manifestation of arrhythmia.

Syncope is a syndrome in which loss of consciousness is of relatively sudden onset, temporary (usually less than 1 to 2 minutes), self-terminating, and of usually rapid recovery. Syncope leads to a generalized weakness of muscles with loss of postural tone, inability to stand upright, and loss of consciousness. Once the patient is in a horizontal position, blood flow to the brain is no longer hindered by gravitation and consciousness is regained. Unconsciousness usually lasts for seconds to minutes. Headache and drowsiness (which usually follow seizures) do not follow a syncopal attack. Syncope results from a sudden impairment of brain metabolism usually due to a reduction in cerebral blood flow.

Bradycardia related to a mean resting sinus rate of less than 50 beats per minute.

An intermittent atrioventricular block with failure of some atrial impulses to conduct to the ventricles, i.e., some but not all atrial impulses are conducted through the atrioventricular node and trigger ventricular contraction.

Inability to walk in a person who previous had the ability to walk.

The term dystrophy means abnormal growth. However, muscular dystrophy is used to describe primary myopathies with a genetic basis and a progressive course characterized by progressive skeletal muscle weakness and wasting, defects in muscle proteins, and histological features of muscle fiber degeneration (necrosis) and regeneration. If possible, it is preferred to use other HPO terms to describe the precise phenotypic abnormalities.

A lack of strength of the proximal muscles.

Reduced ability to walk (ambulate).

The presence of skeletal muscular atrophy (which is also known as amyotrophy).

An abnormality in which the nuclei of sarcomeres take on an abnormally central localization (or in which this feature is found in an increased proportion of muscle cells).

An abnormally high degree of muscle fiber size variation. This phenotypic feature can be observed upon muscle biopsy.

Abnormal cell death involving muscle fibers usually associated with break in, or absence of, muscle surface fiber membrane and resulting in irreversible damage to muscle fibers.

An elevation of the level of the enzyme creatine kinase (also known as creatine phosphokinase (CK; EC 2.7.3.2) in the blood. CK levels can be elevated in a number of clinical disorders such as myocardial infarction, rhabdomyolysis, and muscular dystrophy.
