Family guide in different languages
The family guide for the CMD Consensus Guidelines is now available to download in a number of different languages from the links on this page. This project was led by Thomas Sejersen and managed by Diane Smith Hoban and Susan Sklaroff Van Hook. Additional contributors: Anne Rutkowski, Meganne Leach, Ching Wang, Kate Bushby, Katy Meilleur and Carsten Bonnemann.
Thanks goes to Cure CMD who made these guides possible. Lead by Anne Rutkowski they were adapted, compiled, and edited by Susan Sklaroff-Van Hook and Diane Smith-Hoban. Thanks also goes to all those who voluntarily translated these guides into the various languages below.
We would also like to acknowledge Muscular Dystrophy Canada who worked closely with Cure CMD to create the brochure version of the guide. This now enables physical versions of the guide to be professionally printed.
More languages will be coming soon and if you are willing to voluntarily translate the guide please contact Diane Smith-Hoban.
