Muscle -Abn. Dystrophin gene (anchorsactin to membrane/ stabilizessarcolemma)- High MM-CK
-Hypercontracted fibers-Necrotic Fibers
X-linkedInheritance
-Muscle Weaknessprogressively severe- weak pelvic musclesLordosis/scoliosis
-contractures(staticmuscle shortening)Growers maneuver-push off ground slowly
No cureOnset 2-3yoDeath 20-30yoresp/cardio failure
PT for musclesCorticosteroids-slow muscledeterioration
Myasthenia Gravis
NeuromuscularJunction
1. Autoimmune(common)Antibodies to AchRcrosslink/ degradation ofreceptor/ reducesprobablilty Ach will bindto AchR/ Decreasejunctional folds/ larger
synaptic cleft/ decreaseAchR/ rapid turnoverAchR
2. Congenital (Rare)Abn. Ach release/AchR
AutoimmuneorCongenital
-Muscle weakness-Fatigue due to Achdepletion-weak cranial muscles,eyelids, eyemuscles,ptosis- weakness,
oropharyngeal muscles,speech difficulty, etc.- worse at end ofday/exercise-Ach depletion recoveryovernight-associated w/otherautoimmune
Thymus Glandremoved (tumor)-producedantibodies to AchR
1)Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors
2)Immunosupressive therapies -cotricosteroids3)Plasmaphoresis
Amyotrophic
LateralSclerosis
Motor Neuron1. LMN2. UMN
Disease of Corticospinal tractscarry axons from UMN(premotor)fromcortex/brainstem Spinal Cord
LMN-loss Motorneurons/brainstemUMN- loss Corticospinal tract/Betz cell
Pallor (paleness) inCorticospinal tracts in spinalcord/ Ventral cortical spinaltract
Sporadically LMN- fasciculation, losstendon reflexes, weakwasted and twitchingmuscles
UMN- Spasticity(increasedmuscle tone) , overactivetendon reflexes, ABNBabinski sign (No curlingtoes)
SPARES OCULAR M/VOLUNTARY control ofBLADDER sphincters
Dysarthria- slow speechDysphagia- difficulty

Emotional Incontinence-Pseudobulbar Effect
Gullian
BarreSyndrome
Peripheral NerveNeuropathy (axon,
myelin/sensory/motor/ largediameter/ smalldiameter)
Acute inflammatorydemyelinating polyneropathy
(Viral infection) attack myelinsheath around peripheralnerves
Tingling of hands/feet(Paresthesia)
Insensitivity to heat/coldDifficulty getting out ofchair , weakness inbreathing muscles, eyes,face, paralysis of legs
Loss of stretch Reflex
Normal Babinski
Reversible/Permanent
PlasmaphoresisRecovery weeks-months
Myopathic- abnormalities in skeletal muscleNeuropathic- Abnormalities in peripheral nerves; more pronounced distally than proximally
Neurogenic- Dennervation/rennervation of muscle; disruptes innervations of muscle
