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 ...

Autoimmunity in Neuromuscular Disease

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 1987
SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONSA number of confounding factors can be identified from the search for autoimmune mechanisms over the last 2 decades that may be relevant for future studies. (1) An apparently homogeneous clinical disorder may represent more than one disease process and thereby imply antibody/antigen heterogeneity as, for example, in MG with and ...

Hyperestrogenemia in neuromuscular diseases

Journal of the Neurological Sciences, 1989
In order to elucidate the relationship between certain neuromuscular diseases and gonadal hormones, we measured the levels of serum estrogens and other sex-related hormones. The values were compared with those for age-matched controls. The cases, comprising bulbospinal muscular disease of the Kennedy-Alter-Sung type, Kugelberg-Welander disease ...

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

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.

Neuromuscular Diseases in Pregnancy

Seminars in Neurology, 2007
Neuromuscular 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, 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.

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 ...

Neuromuscular Diseases [PDF]

, 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, 2016
Sleep 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.
