Atrophy would be the more 'medical' term, but the original would then say 'atrofia' http://www.zdravie.sk/sz/p20/458/Slovnik-container.html but that is splitting hairs ...

Note from asker:
| Yes - and "girdle muscular atrophy" seems to be used quite a lot. |

weak girdle muscles
I dont know if "ubytok" refers to the reduction in size of the muscles or weakening, however I would suggest: patient has reported weak girdle muscles (weak pelvic girdle muscles, weak shoulder girdle muscles...)
Note from asker:
| Thank you. That's how I understood it: reduction in size. I was going to say simply "loss", but wondered if anyone had any other ideas. |

myatrophy in girdle
Dylan, just another tip based on a Slovak-English Medical Dictionary.
úbytok - decay, decline, decrease, decrement (vlasov a podobne), depletion
úbytok kostí - bone atrophy/rarefaction
úbytok svalovej hmoty - myatrophy
pletenec - girdle, cingulum
pletenec hornej končatiny - pectoral girdle
pletenec dolnej končatiny - pelvic girdle
In your text it does not say which girdle it is.
