Quantitative myotonia assessment with a commercially available dynamometer in myotonic dystrophy types 1 and 2

Muscle and Nerve, 2019
Introduction: The objective of this study was to develop a simple method for quantitative assessment of myotonia in patients with myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) and DM2, to compare the myotonia severity, and to correlate this objective outcome with a ...

Inherited myotonias

The inherited myotonias are a complex group of diseases caused by variations in genes that encode or modulate the expression of ion channels that regulate muscle excitability. These variations alter muscle membrane excitability allowing mild depolarization, causing myotonic discharges.

“Myotonia”

Abstract Myotonia as a failure of a muscle to relax after a forceful contraction is an important sign of a group of myopathies that are usually inherited. Failure to relax hand grip after a handshake is the first diagnostic alert. In addition to action myotonia, percussion usually induces myotonia of the percussed muscles (tongue, wrist ...
