Myopathy :
Myopathy is often referred to as a muscle disease which brings about conditions that adversely affect the contraction function of the fibers of the muscles due to genetic mutations or an autoimmune condition arising as an infection or just metabolic imbalance. Muscles might have poorly contracted muscles or even get exhausted rapidly, which worsens the symptoms with even more worse signs like muscular pain, stiffness, and even loss of muscles of arms, legs, and torso. Inherited types of myopathy include muscular dystrophy, which occurs very early in childhood, while the acquired ones may arise at any stage of life. A diagnosis is usually carried out through clinical examination accompanied by blood tests for the identification of levels of muscle enzymes, and in some cases, electromyography in which the activities of the muscles are tested. In extremely rare instances, a muscle biopsy is carried out for testing. The approaches to treatment include drugs, physiotherapy that boosts strength and lifestyle modifications that remove the stress on the muscles. Most of the myopathies are irreversible but supportive treatments have helped manage symptoms and therefore have improved quality of life. Thus, early diagnosis and follow-up are important.
