"Chicken Wings"
"Chicken Wings"
In facioscapulohumeral (FSH) muscular dystrophy, the bulk of the deltoid and forearm muscles is normally well preserved, while biceps and triceps are wasted (and may be weak), thus giving rise to an appearance of the upper limbs sometimes labeled as "chicken wings" or "Popeye arms."
