Muscle weakness

was discovered in 1972. Myasthenia Gravis affect the muscle making life difficult for those people who has it. Science thinks that MG cannot be inherited. The diagnosis of Myasthenia Gravis test your reflexes, muscle strength, muscle tone, senses of touch, sings coordination and balance. The discovery of the disease depends on the weakness of the muscle. Myasthenia gravis target the communication point between the nerve and the muscle called neuromuscular junction. This disease affects…

rather similar but the symptoms and signs may differ quite a bit. 23 Muscular Dystrophy: The Details Nobody Knows Let's start with the basics, what is Muscular Dystrophy? Muscular Dystrophy is "... a group of diseases that cause progressive weakness and loss of muscle mass. In muscular dystrophy, abnormal genes (mutations)…

and overall physical signs of MD will vary due to which specific dystrophy is present. The simplest early physical finding is generalized weakness that starts proximal and spreads distally. An exception is made for a few rare forms of dystrophy such as fasioscapulohumeral dystrophy (FSHD), where symptoms always start at the face accompanied by more distal weakness of extremities 4. Often the examining…

Endurance is the ability to use your muscles for a long time, even after your muscles get tired. Exercise E: Cervical Flexion, Isometric 1 Face a wall and stand about 6 inches away from it. 2 Place a soft object, about 6–8 inches in diameter, between your forehead and the wall. A soft object could be a small…

Weber-Carstens et al. (2010, p. 1) reported that diagnosis of CIM is made either clinical evidence of muscle weakness after removal of sedation as characterized by weak and flaccid extremities, in addition, electromyography (EMG) and muscle biopsy can be performed to distinguish between the different types of ICU-acquired weakness. John and Bapat (2015, p. 157) believed that EMG and muscle biopsy is impractical to perform in the ICU; therefore, he asserted that clinical diagnosis…

imbalance, muscle loss, immunity and blood flow issues, and heart problems. Once the body reaches the point of malnutrition it goes into what is known as starvation mode. When a body lacks the nutrients it needs it will take from itself. When the human body has an electrolyte imbalance caused by starvation there can be a deficiency of potassium, calcium, and sodium. Sodium is used to balance fluid and control nerve and muscle function. Extremely low sodium and potassium levels can cause…

Influencing the Outcome for Effective Treatment of Cubital Tunnel Syndrome Cubital tunnel syndrome is the second most common compression neuropathy of the upper extremity after carpal tunnel syndrome (Trehan et al, 2012). It represents a source of considerable discomfort and disability for the patient and in extreme cases may progress to loss of function of the hand (Cutts, S., 2007). Some specialists refer to this condition as ulnar nerve compression as it takes place within the cubital tunnel…

inside the lysosome (Pompe, 2010). The glycogen build up has specific effects on the muscles of the body I chose Pompe Disease because of its effects on the muscular system. Also, I feel that, because of its specific effects directly on the lysosomes of cells causing it to be a rare disorder, it does not receive enough attention.…

It is a group of inherited disorders that cause progressive muscle degeneration and weakness. Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is the second leading cause of neuromuscular disease. It is usually inherited as an autosomal recessive trait (a person must get the defective gene from both parents to be affected). Three types of SMA affect children before age one year. Type 0 is the most severe form of spinal muscular atrophy and begins before birth. Usually, the first symptom of type 0 is less movement…

with depression and to be an effective alternative to antidepressant medications. Weightlifting has also been shown to help with chronic pain, which can help improve the quality of life in the elderly population. As people age, they naturally lose muscle that is essential for mobility, endurance, and stability. The elderly are more prone to a sedentary lifestyle which, can increase…
