Diadectes was a heavily built animal, 1.5 to 3 meters long, with a thick-boned skull, heavy vertebrae and ribs, massive limb girdles and short, robust limbs.
The phenotypic spectrum from DCM to EDMD and limb girdle muscular dystrophy appears continuous.
The strength of the limb girdles, combined with evidence of large, powerful swimming muscles, indicates that Kronosaurus was likely a fast, active swimmer.
The limb girdles are greatly reduced, so it is unlikely these animals could move about on land.
There is no trace of limbs or even limb girdles in any known fossil, and the tail was short and primitive.
Muscle aches and weakness (in particular proximal limb girdle)
Its name, meaning "hidden clavicles", refer to its small, practically invisible clavicles buried in its front limb girdle.
Their vertebral columns, limbs, limb girdles and musculature needed to be strong enough to raise them off the ground for locomotion and feeding.
It also had limb girdles which formed massive plates of bone that helped support its heavily-built body.
Other forms of muscular dystrophy (e.g. limb girdle) must be considered as well.
