neuromuscular disorders
Neuromuscular disorders are a group of conditions that affect the nerves that control voluntary muscles. These disorders can lead to muscle weakness, wasting, and difficulties with movement. Common examples include amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), muscular dystrophy, and myasthenia gravis.
These conditions can arise from genetic factors, autoimmune responses, or other underlying health issues. Diagnosis often involves physical examinations, blood tests, and imaging studies. Treatment may include medications, physical therapy, and supportive care to help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
