Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) is an X-linked recessive disorder involving dystrophin gene mutation, resulting in progressive muscle degeneration. The proximal lower limb muscles are most often affected, while heart failure is a frequent complication among individuals with this condition. BMD is less common and less severe than Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). The onset of BMD symptoms is also late compared to DMD, although it varies widely between 5 and 60 years of age. Management is supportive, with rehabilitative care essential to maintaining function long-term.This activity for healthcare professionals enhances learners’ competence in evaluating and managing BMD. Valuable knowledge will be gained that will increase learners’ ability to work as part of a multidisciplinary team caring for individuals affected by this condition.
