Therapy in neuromuscular disease

Neurologic Clinics, 2001
The 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.

Electrodiagnosis in Neuromuscular Disease

Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinics of North America, 2012
Electromyography (EMG) is an important diagnostic tool for the assessment of individuals with various neuromuscular diseases. It should be an extension of a thorough history and physical examination. Some prototypical characteristics and findings of EMG and nerve conduction studies are discussed; however, a more thorough discussion can be found in the ...

Exercise in Neuromuscular Diseases

Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinics of North America, 2012
This article reviews the current knowledge regarding the benefits and contraindications of exercise on individuals with neuromuscular diseases (NMDs). Specific exercise prescriptions for individuals with NMDs do not exist because the evidence base is limited. Understanding the effect of exercise on individuals with NMDs requires the implementation of a

Exercise in Neuromuscular Disease

Seminars in Neurology, 2014
In this review, the authors present an overview of the role of exercise in neuromuscular disease (NMD). The authors demonstrate that despite the different pathologies in NMDs, exercise is beneficial, whether aerobic/endurance or strength/resistive training. The authors analyze methodological flaws of existing studies and suggest improvements for future

Exercise in neuromuscular disease

Muscle & Nerve, 2013
ABSTRACTIn 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.

Neuromuscular Diseases

Seminars in Neurology, 2009
Neuromuscular diseases are a broadly defined group of disorders that all involve injury or dysfunction of peripheral nerves or muscle. The site of injury can be in the cell bodies (i.e., amyotrophic lateral sclerosis [ALS] or sensory ganglionopathies), axons (i.e., axonal peripheral neuropathies or brachial plexopathies), Schwann cells (i.e., chronic ...

Hypoventilation in Neuromuscular Disease

Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2009
Hypoventilation in neuromuscular disease is attributed to both respiratory muscle weakness and reduced chemoreceptor sensitivity essential in ventilatory drive. Acute or chronic respiratory failure is seen in a spectrum of neuromuscular disease; whereas some are treatable others are progressive and devastating.

Pediatric Neuromuscular Diseases

Pediatric Neurology, 2023
The diagnostic and referral workflow for children with neuromuscular disorders is evolving, particularly as newborn screening programs are expanding in tandem with novel therapeutic developments. However, for the children who present with symptoms and signs of potential neuromuscular disorders, anatomic localization, guided initially by careful history
