Pak J Neurological Sci Jan ;7(4):17-22.

Myopathy or muscle dysfunction is a group of disorders caused by numerous hereditary or acquired factors affecting structural or metabolic integrity of the muscle. Myopathies can be identified and categorized based on clinical features, laboratory, electrophysiological and biopsy findings with genetic testing. Extensive evaluation is imperative to identifying treatable and reversible causes for muscle weakness. This article reviews clinical features, testing and treatment for muscle disorders and provides a basic frame work for a clinical approach to myopathies.
