Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy or Erb’s muscular dystrophy is an autosomal class of muscular dystrophy that is similar but distinct from Duchenne muscular dystrophy and Becker’s muscular dystrophy. Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy encompasses a large number of rare disorders. Currently there is no cure and the disease inevitably worsens over time.
