Muscular disorders

Muscular disorders are conditions that affect your muscles, impairing their ability to function properly. They can cause weakness, cramps, stiffness, or loss of muscle mass. These disorders may result from genetics, injuries, or other health issues and include conditions like muscular dystrophy, myasthenia gravis, and inflammatory myopathies. Symptoms vary but often involve difficulty moving, coordinating, or maintaining muscle strength. Diagnosis typically involves medical history, physical exams, and tests. While some muscular disorders are chronic, treatments aim to manage symptoms, improve quality of life, and, in some cases, slow disease progression.
