Shoulder Rotation Test: A New Test for Discriminating Between Functional and Structural Weakness

Brain and Behavior, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
We introduce the shoulder rotation test, a simple bedside test combining the MRC scoring of shoulder internal rotation (IR) and external rotation (ER), for discriminating between functional weakness (FW) and structural weakness (SW) of the upper limbs.

Effects of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs on amyloid-β pathology in mouse skeletal muscle

Neurobiology of Disease, 2010
Sporadic inclusion body myositis (sIBM) is a common age-related inflammatory myopathy characterized by the presence of intracellular inclusions that contain the amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide, a derivative of the amyloid precursor protein (APP).

Muscle MRI and Muscle Ultrasound Applications in MND/ALS: Academic Insights and Clinical Opportunities

European Journal of Neurology, Volume 33, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background There is an unmet need for the clinically relevant ALS biomarkers to facilitate an accurate diagnosis in suspected cases, monitor disease progression and evaluate response to therapy in clinical trials. While the MND/ALS literature is dominated by innovative brain studies, motor disability in ALS is primarily driven by neurogenic ...

Molecular Mechanisms and Therapeutic Potential of DJ‐1 in Skeletal Muscle Homeostasis and Disease

Comprehensive Physiology, Volume 16, Issue 1, February 2026.
DJ‐1 protein functions as a redox‐sensing guardian in skeletal muscle by coordinating antioxidant defense, mitochondrial homeostasis, metabolic adaptation, and anti‐atrophy signaling. Enhancing its function holds promise as a potential therapeutic strategy for muscle atrophy, ALS, and metabolic myopathies.

Asymptomatic hyper-creatine-kinase-emia as sole manifestation of inclusion body myositis

Neurology International, 2013
Sporadic inclusion body myositis (sIBM) usually manifests with painless weakness of the hand, finger and hip flexors. Absence of symptoms or signs, but mild hyper-CK-emia as the sole manifestation of IBM, has not been reported. We report the case of a 73-

Muscle MRI Contributes to the Differential Diagnosis Between Distal Myopathies and Distal Hereditary Motor Neuropathies

European Journal of Neurology, Volume 33, Issue 1, January 2026.
This study assesses muscle MRI features for the differential diagnosis of patients with distal myopathies and distal hereditary motor neuropathies (dHMNs). A reticular pattern of fat infiltration, together with diffuse and marked involvement of intrinsic foot muscles, emerged as characteristic of dHMNs.
