  2. Neuromuscular disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuromuscular_disease

    A neuromuscular disease is any disease affecting the peripheral nervous system (PNS), [a] the neuromuscular junctions, or skeletal muscles, all of which are components of the motor unit. [4] Damage to any of these structures can cause muscle atrophy and weakness. Issues with sensation can also occur. Neuromuscular diseases can be acquired or ...

  3. Alcoholic polyneuropathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcoholic_polyneuropathy

    Alcoholic polyneuropathy is a neurological disorder in which peripheral nerves throughout the body malfunction simultaneously. It is defined by axonal degeneration in neurons of both the sensory and motor systems and initially occurs at the distal ends of the longest axons in the body.

  4. Electromyography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromyography

    D004576. [ edit on Wikidata] Electromyography ( EMG) is a technique for evaluating and recording the electrical activity produced by skeletal muscles. [1] [2] EMG is performed using an instrument called an electromyograph to produce a record called an electromyogram. An electromyograph detects the electric potential generated by muscle cells [3 ...

  5. Nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerve

    A nerve is an enclosed, cable-like bundle of nerve fibers (called axons) in the peripheral nervous system. Nerves have historically been considered the basic units of the peripheral nervous system. A nerve provides a common pathway for the electrochemical nerve impulses called action potentials that are transmitted along each of the axons to ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambert–Eaton_myasthenic...

    Myasthenia gravis is caused by autoantibodies to the postsynaptic acetylcholine receptors. Lambert–Eaton myasthenic syndrome ( LEMS) is a rare autoimmune disorder characterized by muscle weakness of the limbs. It is also known as myasthenic syndrome, Eaton–Lambert syndrome, and when related to cancer, carcinomatous myopathy.

  7. Peripheral neuropathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peripheral_neuropathy

    Peripheral neuropathy, often shortened to neuropathy, refers to damage or disease affecting the nerves. [1] Damage to nerves may impair sensation, movement, gland function, and/or organ function depending on which nerve fibers are affected. Neuropathies affecting motor, sensory, or autonomic nerve fibers result in different symptoms.
