Abstract:
Early clinical observations on Duchenne muscular dystrophy can be traced through the works of Meryon, Little, Duchenne, Gowers, and Erb. Gowers sites Sir Charles Bell with its earliest clinical description. Gowers' phenomenal textbook provides vivid descriptions of Duchenne dystrophy, clinical features which are herein revisited.
