Defining Clinical Endpoints in LGMD

Status: Recruiting
The purpose of this study to learn more about Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy by measuring how muscles change over a twelve-month period. Our clinical evaluator will test muscle strength and participants will be asked to complete a series of questionnaires to find out how Limb Girdle impacts daily activities. This information will help plan future studies and drug development for people with LGMD.
