Hello, As you must have known much about the muscular dystrophy I will not stretch more on it.  The symptoms indicate that she needs to undergo physiotherapy guided exercises to improve the overall well-being. The exercise will include strengthening exercises, breathing exercises, gait training, etc. Once the physiotherapist assist the muscles which needs attention he/she will guide towards the best possible rehabilitation training program which will help your friend to overcome this muscle weakness. As of now we don't have any medicine to possibly stop the progression of the muscular dystrophy. We need to work behind improving the quality of life and make them independent as much as we can. In my clinical practice of over 12 years most muscular dystrophy cases have responded well to physiotherapy. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
