Neuromuscular Conditions

Neuromuscular Conditions

Neuromuscular disorders are a diverse group of conditions affecting the peripheral nervous system, which connects the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body. These disorders often result in muscle weakness, muscle atrophy, and sensory disturbances.

Common symptoms of neuromuscular disorders include:

• Muscle-related symptoms: Weakness, atrophy, twitches, cramps, spasms, pain, spasticity, difficulty walking, coordination issues, drooping eyelids or facial features, difficulty speaking or swallowing, and breathing difficulties.
• Other symptoms: Fatigue, numbness, tingling, or other abnormal sensations.

The specific symptoms may vary depending on the type of neuromuscular disorder.
