UNDERSTANDING MUSCLE DISEASE

Myopathies - Disease of Muscles

Myopathy refers to a group of disorders that primarily affect the muscles which lead to muscle weakness, wasting of muscles, and impaired muscle function. These disorders can be caused by genetic mutations, acquired factors, or underlying other medical conditions.

In managing Muscle disorders, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to treating myopathy, and treatment approaches are widely individualized. Regular follow-up with healthcare providers is essential to monitor disease progression and readjust treatment strategies as required.

Advances in medical research and innovative discoveries continue to offer hope for life changing outcomes and quality of life for individuals living with myopathies.
