2.1 Historical aspects
The earliest recognizable descriptions of facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy were made in the second half of the 19th century. The written accounts of presentations, given to the continental scientific establishments of the day, make fascinating reading. These give a clear idea of the historical context and understanding of neuromuscular disorders at that time.
