About

    Neuromuscular disorders are a group of conditions that affect the nerves controlling voluntary muscles. These disorders can result in muscle weakness, stiffness, and cramping, as well as impaired coordination and movement. They can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetic mutations, autoimmune reactions, and nerve damage. Common neuromuscular disorders include muscular dystrophy, myasthenia gravis, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Treatment for neuromuscular disorders often involves a combination of physical therapy, medication, and, in some cases, surgery.
