what are the primary concerns for an occupational therpist dealing with client with muscular dystrophy?
Homework Answers
Muscular dystrophy is a genetic disorder causes progressive weakness and loss of muscle mass.Occupational theraist focus specific activities and functions. It can help with task for work ,recreation or daily living.Evaluate self care skills which include eating grooming,dressing, toileting and mobility.Recommend the equipment to maximize functional independence.Make recommendation for home modification to improve access and functional independence.Make recommendation for environmental control.

1-Muscular dystrophy - What are the symptoms, cause, and treatment options for a patient with muscular dystrophy (MD)? 2- Multiple Sclerosis - Discuss the cellular nature of multiple sclerosis (MS). What are some current hypotheses about what causes this disease? What are typical treatments for dealing with the disease? 3- Hearing loss - There are two general types of hearing loss: sensory neural and obstructive (e.g., ear-wax build up).

1) What are the two main types of muscular dystrophy (clinical names) linked to mutations in the dystrophin gene and how do they differ? 2)Describe (name it and explain how a diseased person is different from non-diseased) the phenotypic test used to indicate Duchenne muscular dystrophy. 3)How does the histology of muscle differ between a patient with Duchenne muscular dystrophy and that of a normal person?

Roger and Gayle are both of normal phenotype but have a son with Muscular Dystrophy, a sex-linked recessive disorder. Gayle is pregnant and amniocentesis shows the fetus is male. What is the probability that the fetus will suffer from muscular dystrophy?

8. The gene for colourblindness is 15 map units from the gene for muscular dystrophy, and both genes are on the X-chromosome. Recessive mutations result in colourblindness or muscular dystrophy. A woman whose father was colourblind and whose mother's father had muscular dystrophy marries a colourblind man. Their first son is colourblind. The probability that he also has muscular dystrophy is: a) 50% b) 7.5% c) 3.75% d) 15% e) none of the above

Duchenne muscular dystrophy is an X-linked recessive condition affecting humans. It is a major form of muscular dystrophy. A female is a carrier (unaffected) and she has children with an unaffected man, and they have a boy. What is the percent probability that the boy will have the Duchenne muscular dystrophy disease? Enter your answer as a percentage value rounded to the nearest whole number. Do not enter a % sign. (i.e. enter 75, not 0.75 or 3/4)

A dominant allele that causes a form of muscular dystrophy is known to be 80% penetrant. 100 children are born to parents having the following genotypes: Mm X mm. How many of these children do you expect will have this type of muscular dystrophy? Describe how you came to this number. What is one possible explanation for the reduced penetrance (HINT: the answer to this last part of the question can be fairly general)?

Becker muscular dystrophy is caused by a rare sex-linked allele and usually affects only males. Victims of the disease become progressively weaker starting early in life. If your mother’s brother (your uncle) had Becker dystrophy, what is the probability that you received the allele? What is the probability that if your uncle had a son, that the son would have the allele?
