Medical Conditions - Myopathy

"Myopathy is described as a disease that affects the muscles controlling voluntary movement in the body. Myopathies may be divided into inherited categories that can be passed from parent to child or acquired later due to other medical disorders, infections, and exposure to certain medications. Most myopathies manifest as muscle weakness, muscle cramps, stiffness, fatigue, and lack of energy. While there is no specific cure for genetic myopathy, management of acquired myopathies is based mainly on symptom control and different therapies such as physical therapy and occupational therapy.
