Neuromuscular Disorders

Neuromuscular disorders are a group of diseases that affect the muscles and the nerves that control them, leading to muscle weakness, wasting, and loss of motor function. These disorders can be caused by issues in the motor neurons, peripheral nerves, neuromuscular junction, or muscles themselves. Some common types of neuromuscular disorders include muscular dystrophies, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), myasthenia gravis, peripheral neuropathies, and Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.

Muscular dystrophies, such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy, are genetic conditions that cause progressive muscle degeneration, leading to severe disability. ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, involves the degeneration of motor neurons, causing muscle weakness and eventual paralysis. SMA is a genetic disorder that leads to the progressive loss of motor neurons in the spinal cord, affecting muscle movement. Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks the neuromuscular junction, leading to muscle weakness, particularly with prolonged activity.

Symptoms of neuromuscular disorders often include progressive muscle weakness, difficulty walking, muscle cramps, and fatigue. Depending on the condition, patients may also experience difficulty breathing or swallowing. Diagnosis typically involves a combination of clinical evaluation, genetic testing, electromyography (EMG), muscle biopsy, and imaging studies.
