Fatigue is common in neuromuscular disease and it may affect quality of life;
however, it has not been adequately studied. We can approach fatigue in
neuromuscular diseases systematically. Questionnaires are used to assess
subjective or experienced fatigue, and with the wide availability of the
Internet, many patients can fill out questionnaires through Web-based surveys.
Researchers can use force-generation protocols to evaluate physical fatigability
and attention protocols to evaluate mental fatigability. Using these techniques
to further understand the mechanisms of subjective and physiologic fatigue will
help physicians to develop more effective treatments for fatigue and improve
patients' quality of life.
