Therapy in neuromuscular disease
Neurologic Clinics, 2001The therapy of myasthenia gravis and inflammatory myopathy are discussed in detail in this article. The discussion of these two disorders illustrates the extraordinary progress that has been achieved in the therapy of neuromuscular disease.

Neuromuscular Diseases in Pregnancy
Seminars in Neurology, 2007Neuromuscular disease in pregnancy is a broad topic and includes focal neuropathies that occur with increased incidence during pregnancy and the puerperium, as well as preexisting inherited neuropathies or myopathies and chronic autoimmune diseases such as myasthenia gravis and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy.

Exercise in neuromuscular disease
Muscle & Nerve, 2013ABSTRACTIn this review, we present an overview of the role of exercise in neuromuscular disease (NMD). We demonstrate that despite the different pathologies in NMDs, exercise is beneficial, whether aerobic/endurance or strength/resistive training, and we explore whether this benefit has a similar mechanism to that of healthy subjects.

Sleep and Neuromuscular Disease [PDF]
Seminars in Neurology, 2009 Sleep disorders in patients with neuromuscular disease are common, but underrecognized by health care providers, and sometimes by patients themselves. Their symptoms may be confused with those of the underlying disease. Their recognition is an important part of the management of patients with neuromuscular disorders, improving quality of life, and ...

, 1983 Whether spastic, athetotic, or ataxic, the child with CP is limited in his physical abilities. The spastic child may not be able to generate much muscle force or endure effort for a long time but can perform fine movements better than the athetotic child.

Sleep in Neuromuscular Diseases
Sleep Medicine Clinics, 2016Sleep disorders in neuromuscular disorders are generally caused by respiratory dysfunction associated with these diseases. Hypoventilation in neuromuscular diseases results from both respiratory muscle weakness and reduced chemoreceptor sensitivity, which is required for ventilatory drive.

Neuromuscular disease and hypoventilation
Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, 1999Alveolar hypoventilation associated with neuromuscular disease can occur in acute and chronic forms. In the acute form, progressive weakness of respiratory muscles leads to rapid reduction in vital capacity followed by respiratory failure with hypoxemia and hypercarbia.

Neuromuscular Disease and the Chest
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1977SOME adults with complaints of weakness and fatigue have an underlying specific neuromuscular disease. In these patients the neuromuscular symptoms may be associated with potentially more serious nonneuromuscular abnormalities. The chest roentgenogram may provide a clue to the diagnosis of a systemic disorder responsible for muscular weakness ...

Neuromuscular diseases of childhood
Current Opinion in Pediatrics, 1993This review covers three areas. First, dramatic progress in the discovery of abnormal loci on certain chromosomes associated with several motor unit diseases eventually will obviate the need for more invasive testing. Second, new information about the natural course of spinal muscular atrophy is beginning to clarify the nature of this disease.
