| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Neuromuscular disease is a very broad term that encompasses many diseases and ailments that either directly, via intrinsic muscle pathology, or indirectly, via nerve pathology, impair the functioning of the muscles. There are many other diseases and conditions which cause a decrease in muscle mass, known as muscle atrophy. Symptoms of muscle disease may include muscular weakness, spasticity/rigidity, loss of muscular control, myoclonus, and myalgia. This book studies muscle disorders including spasticity, polymyositis, and functional electrical stimulation.
