Simulated work performance tasks in persons with neuropathic and myopathic weakness. |
I favor the latter explanation based on the observation that physical exercise may protect the muscle against the steroid myopathic effects. |
The patient presents at birth or during the first year of life with generalized weakness and characteristic myopathic facies with several physical deformities. |
The morphological changes that take place differ in myopathic and neuropathic conditions. |
An electromyogram demonstrated rare myopathic findings in two proximal muscles. |
A muscle biopsy showed well preserved fascicular architecture with mild myopathic features. |
