Muscle weakness
Muscle weakness
Muscle weakness or myasthenia (latter from my- from Greek μυο meaning "muscle" + -asthenia from Ancient Greek ἀσθένεια meaning "weakness"but in exact translation means illness) is a lack of muscle strength. The causes are many and can be divided into conditions that have true or perceived muscle weakness. True muscle weakness is a primary symptom of a variety of skeletal muscle diseases, including muscular dystrophy and inflammatory myopathy. It occurs in neuromuscular junction disorders, such as myasthenia gravis.
