ABSTRACT
Muscular dystrophy describes generalized progressive muscular weakness due to the wasting of muscle fibers. The progression of the disease is affected by known immunological and mechanical factors, and possibly other unknown mechanisms. This article introduces a new mathematical model, the FRiND model, to further elucidate these known immunological actions. We will perform stability and sensitivity analyses on this model. The models time course results will be verified by biological studies in the literature. This model could be the foundation for further understanding of immunological muscle repair.
