Muscle atrophy initially manifests as muscle weakness in the upper extremities, muscle beats, and mu

Skeletal muscle atrophy is more common in lower motor neuron damage, and patients may have symptoms of limb weakness in the early stage of the disease, which are manifested as weak fist clenching, unstable holding, soreness of lower limbs, lack of facial fullness, slight weakness in chewing, and slightly worse neck turning and shoulder shrugging. Visceral smooth muscle atrophy such as gastrointestinal, esophagus, bladder, etc., can cause mild abdominal distention, decreased appetite, abnormal urination and bowel movements, and some patients may not have any clinical symptoms. As the disease progresses, patients may experience generalized muscle atrophy, affecting the respiratory muscles, which can lead to bed confinement or dyspnea and death.

Motor neuron disease, also known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, is a relatively rare disease. After the occurrence of this disease, patients will have progressive skeletal muscle weakness and atrophy, patients have no obvious symptoms in the early stage of the disease, and patients will have weakness in the hands and feet after the aggravation of the disease, and patients with severe disease will have weakness in the limbs and difficulty breathing.

Motor neuron disease, also known as ALS, is a relatively rare condition characterized by chronic and progressive degeneration. After the occurrence of this disease, the patient's limbs will have muscle weakness and hormonal tremors, and the aggravation of the disease will affect the patient's ability to take care of himself. The age of high incidence of this disease is 30 to 60 years old, this disease can not be completely **, after the disease can be taken to improve and enhance the quality of life of patients.

Motor neuron disease is a disease that seriously endangers the health of middle-aged and elderly people, and it is necessary to take symptomatic measures in time after the occurrence of this disease. According to the severity of the disease, the disease is divided into 5 stages, so let's take a look at the symptoms of each stage of MND!

1. Symptom onset: During this period, most patients have no obvious symptoms, so many people will ignore the harm and importance of this disease.

2. Difficult work period: During this period, patients will obviously feel that they are powerless in the process of work, as well as physical discomfort.

3. Difficult period: This period is also known as the middle stage of motor neuron disease, during which the patient's hands and feet will have serious dysfunction, and the patient will lose the ability to manage life.

4. Dysphagia period: During this period, most patients will have slurred speech, weakness of limbs, choking and difficulty swallowing in the process of eating.

5. Dyspnea period: Keeping the airway open can make people live a normal life, and patients will have severe dyspnea during this period, which is an advanced stage of motor neuron disease.

According to the severity of the disease, MND can be divided into the above five stages, from the early stage of the disease to the late stage of the disease. The symptoms are not obvious in the early stage of the disease, and with the aggravation of the disease, it will bring a lot of inconvenience to the patient's body and life, and after reaching the advanced stage, the patient will lose the ability to take care of himself and cause paralysis.

Patients suffering from this disease should actively seek medical treatment, but they should avoid blind medical treatment, and insist on exercising when receiving **, which can improve physical fitness and alleviate muscle atrophy. It is necessary to avoid strenuous exercise, which can easily cause limb damage. In addition to being timely after the disease, it is also necessary to cooperate with the doctor to make dietary and lifestyle adjustments during the ** process, which can improve the quality of life.

Progressive muscle weakness and atrophy, predominantly in the middle of the bed. What is the main clinical manifestation of progressive muscle weakness and atrophy? This should be muscle atrophy, and the pain of the god slim ant is sold vertically.

Distal upper limb muscle atrophy can be accompanied by lower limb muscle atrophy, such as spinal muscular atrophy, progressive muscular dystrophy, multiple meningospinal radiculitis, dystrophic or carcinomatous muscle disease, etc., which can occur at the same time in the upper and lower limbs with varying degrees of muscle atrophy.

However, it should be emphasized that upper limb muscle atrophy is not absolutely related to lower limb muscle atrophy.

In other words, muscular atrophy can occur at the same time, sequentially, or separately in both the upper and lower limbs.

For example, muscular atrophy caused by cervical spondylosis is mostly unilateral uneven atrophy of the distal upper limbs.

Syringomyelia may present with segmental muscle atrophy.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is the atrophy of the distal muscles of the bilateral upper extremities, and even the appearance of sternocleidomastoid muscle atrophy.

Thus, patients with distal upper extremity muscle atrophy can have lower extremity muscle atrophy, but it is not inevitable.

Muscle wasting is just the name of the symptoms and can be caused by many diseases. Muscle atrophy can be divided into neurogenic muscle atrophy and myogenic muscle atrophy, and the same is true for the causes of muscle atrophy in the lower extremities.

Muscle atrophy of the lower limbs can be caused by nerve damage, which can occur in the lesion of the lumbar spine and cause damage to the nerve root, or it can be caused by sciatic nerve damage caused by various reasons, or damage to the cervical nerve and peroneal nerve. It can also be seen in hereditary peripheral neuropathy, distal myopathy, such as distal muscular dystrophy, etc., and of course, there is also muscle atrophy of the distal upper limbs; In addition, there is immune-mediated peripheral neuropathy caused by viral infection; Or myositis may occur.

All in all, the causes of muscle atrophy in the lower limbs are complex and must be carefully identified. In addition, it can also be used with cardiac enzymes, electromyography, immunological examination, genetic testing and other means to clarify**.
