Distrofia muscular tibial tratada con acupuntura y rehabilitación: reporte de un caso

Abstract

Tibial muscular dystrophy is a neuromuscular disease characterized by weakness in plantar flexion with low incidence in Mexico but a rather high presence in Finland. The case of a 69-year-old Mexican man diagnosed with tibial muscular dystrophy is presented. Following 4-month treatment with both acupuncture and physical therapy, results of increased muscular strength and articular mobility were achieved.
