Diseases of muscle may be congenital or acquired. They cause muscle weakness
without sensory loss. The onset, distribution, and clinical course help to
differentiate the type of muscle disorder. The diagnostic workup may include
laboratory examination, electrodiagnostic studies, and muscle biopsy. A
definitive diagnosis leads to better decision making with regard to treatment,
genetic education, prognosis, functional expectations, and the impact of exercise
on muscle function.
