What Wikipedia says

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a severe type of muscular dystrophy predominantly affecting males. The onset of muscle weakness typically begins around age four, with rapid progression. Initially, muscle loss occurs in the thighs and pelvis, extending to the arms, which can lead to difficulties in standing up.
