Myotonic dystrophy--the most common adult form of muscular dystrophy--is a chronic, progressive, and inherited neuromuscular condition presenting with multisystemic complications including distal muscle weakness, myotonia, hypersomnolence, early-onset cataracts, cardiac conduction abnormalities, and slurred speech and swallowing problems (Harper, 2001).
The three type are hypertonic, isotonic, and hypotonic. Hypertonic is when the tonicity of the cell is lower than that of the surrounding liquid, isotonic is when the tonicityâ¦ of the cell is equal to that of the surrounding liquid, and hypotonic is when the tonicity of the cell is greater than that of the surrounding liquid.
