A.E. HARDING, in Peripheral Neuropathy (Fourth Edition), 2005 Scapuloperoneal Hereditary Motor Neuronopathy Types I and II Between 1927 and 1939, Davidenkow described 13 patients whom he considered to have ‘“scapuloperoneal amyotrophy.”10,11 The disorder was usually of autosomal...
Of all the ALS variants, PMA is the one that especially warrants thorough evaluation to exclude other disorders, in particular multifocal motor neuropathy with conduction block (MMNCB; discussed in the section on Differential Diagnosis), which is potentially treatable.

These include the muscles of the lower arms, legs, and feet. A rare type of DSMA, known as spinal muscular atrophy with respiratory distress (SMARD), can cause breathing problems and muscle weakness. Health experts may also refer to DSMA as distal hereditary motor neuropathy. DSMA is a type...
and the bronchial tubes. The difference in the functions of these vessels was not yet known; because they were all empty in cadavers, early anatomists supposed they all carried air. As medical knowledge advanced, however, students of anatomy realized that arteries carry blood and only the windpip...
Hi, I am 26 years old male and I am suffering from myopathy. Several months ago I have noticed that my legs and arms are becoming weaker.
This disorder has been referred to as hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy (HMSN) type V by Dyck. Onset was usually in the first two decades of life with difficulty in walking. The clinical syndrome superficially resembled that of HMSN types I and II with distal wasting and weakness ...
Geographic preponderances of monomelic amyotrophy, polio, and leprous neuropathy have been recognized. Consider such diseases in immigrants from the appropriate geographic regions. A history of affected family members may suggest genetic disorders such as spinal muscle atrophy (SMA) or a familial cluster...
Muscle disorders may affect the muscle or nerves and neurotransmitters surrounding the muscle. Examples of muscle diseases are multiple sclerosis, myopathy, muscle dystrophy, and peripheral neuropathy. Muscular System Anatomy The functional unit of the muscular system is the muscle. ...

chronic pain. Also, the signals may not function to register the pain associated with an injury normally. In a case like this, the person may lack a pain response indicating injury (for example, someone who has diabetes with neuropathy in the feet may not register a foot injury when it ...
