Limb-girdle muscular dystrophies (LGMD) are a group of autosomal dominantly or recessively inherited muscular dystrophies that also present with primary proximal (limb-girdle) muscle weakness. This type of dystrophy involves the shoulder and pelvic girdles, distinct phenotypic or clinical characteristics are recognized. LGM dystor-phies affect posterior thigh muscle compartment, predomi-nantly gracilis and sartorius muscles. In the thigh, muscles at the back are affected, with a tendency to preserve the tibi-alis anterior and gastrocnemius. In this study we analyze DTI images, relation between the number of tracts, FA, and lenght in sartorius and gracilis muscle.
