Level#1

Suppose you lost control of your muscles little by little. This is what happens to people with Muscular Dystrophy, also called MD. MD is a disease that causes the muscles to waste away over time. It is a rare disease. Most children that have MD end up in wheelchairs or on crutches. At this time, doctors do not know what causes MD, but they are working on treatments for it.

1. What does Muscular Dystrophy do to a person's muscles?

2. What happens to most children that have Muscular Dystrophy?

3. What do doctors know about Muscular Dystrophy?

Level#2

Suppose you lost control of your muscles little by little. This is what happens to people with Muscular Dystrophy, also called MD. MD is a disease that causes the muscles to waste away over time. It is a rare disease. Most children that have MD end up in wheelchairs or on crutches. At this time, doctors do not know what causes MD, but they are working on treatments for it. The most common muscle problem is sore muscles. The soreness is caused by muscles not getting enough oxygen during exercise. Also, muscles have to get rid of wastes when exercising. By exercising regularly, your body learns to pump enough oxygen to your muscles. In time, the soreness disappears. Stretching after exercising, or "cooling down," will help lessen the pain of sore muscles.

1. Is Muscular Dystrophy a common disease and what happens to most children who have it?

2. What is the most common muscle problem and what is it caused by?

3. What does your body do as a result of exercising regularly and what is the result of doing so?

Level#3

By exercising regularly, your body learns to pump enough oxygen to your muscles. In time, the soreness disappears. Stretching after exercising, or "cooling down," will help lessen the pain of sore muscles. Muscle strains are also common. A muscle is strained when it has been worked too hard. The muscle tissues are stretched and sometimes torn. To treat a strained muscle, get plenty of rest. Apply ice first. After 48 hours, put warm, wet towels on the muscles every chance you get.

1. Explain what MD is and what happens to children that have MD.






2. What can a person do to lessen the pain of muscle soreness?






3. Explain what a muscle strain is and what has happened to the muscle itself.
