Plantar flexor muscle weakness may cause stiff-knee gait [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Aim: The iterative simulation studies proclaim that plantar flexor (PF) muscle weakness is one of the contributors of stiff knee gait (SKG), although, whether isolated PF weakness generates SKG has not been validated in able-bodied people or individuals ...

A Challenging Diagnosis of Fluctuating Dyspnea: Myasthenia Gravis [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2015
Isolated respiratory muscles weakness is an unusual presentation of Myasthenia Gravis (MG). We present a case of 49-year-old male with undiagnosed MG who presented with fluctuating dyspnea on exertion and at rest.

Transient weakness and compound muscle action potential decrement in myotonia congenita [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
Twenty-five Turkish patients with recessive myotonia congenita (RMC), 16 of whom had genetic confirmation, were studied. Nineteen had transient weakness. In the upper extremities, onset age of transient weakness was usually in the early teens.

How robust is human gait to muscle weakness? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Humans have a remarkable capacity to perform complex movements requiring agility, timing, and strength. Disuse, aging, and disease can lead to a loss of muscle strength, which frequently limits the performance of motor tasks.

Post-sepsis chronic muscle weakness can be prevented by pharmacological protection of mitochondria

open access: yesMolecular Medicine
Background Sepsis, mainly caused by bacterial infections, is the leading cause of in-patient hospitalizations. After discharge, most sepsis survivors suffer from long-term medical complications, particularly chronic skeletal muscle weakness.

Mitochondrial-targeted plastoquinone therapy prevents early onset muscle weakness that occurs before atrophy during ovarian cancer

open access: yesMolecular Metabolism
Objective: Muscle loss with cancer causes weakness, worsens quality of life, and predicts reduced overall survival rates. Recently, muscle weakness was identified during early-stage cancer before atrophy develops. This discovery indicates that mechanisms

Assessment of the severity of primary respiratory muscle failure

open access: yesSouth African Journal of Physiotherapy, 1985
Respiratory muscle weakness results either from disorders of the respiratory motor unit (primary type) or from muscle fatigue due to severe underlying pulmonary disease (secondary type).

Muscle Weakness in Persons with Multiple Sclerosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Skeletal muscle weakness is a problem for people living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Alterations in the central nervous system may be the primary source of muscle weakness because of the pathophysiology of MS. However, changes in peripheral mediators of
