Muscle atrophy and dystrophy

Muscle atrophy and dystrophy are conditions characterized by the weakening and degeneration of muscle tissue, resulting in progressive loss of muscle mass and strength.

While muscle atrophy refers to the decrease in muscle size due to disuse or injury, muscle dystrophy involves genetic mutations that impair muscle function over time. These conditions can significantly impact mobility, independence, and overall quality of life.

Symptoms of Muscle Atrophy and Dystrophy

Symptoms of muscle atrophy and dystrophy can vary depending on the underlying cause and the muscles affected.

Common symptoms may include weakness, fatigue, muscle cramps, difficulty walking or climbing stairs, and decreased range of motion in the joints. As these conditions progress, individuals may experience worsening symptoms and increasing disability, making everyday tasks more challenging.

Treatment and Management

While there is currently no cure for muscle atrophy and dystrophy, treatment focuses on managing symptoms, preserving muscle function, and improving overall quality of life.

At Glavic Clinic, we employ a multidisciplinary approach that combines conventional therapies with advanced technologies such as robotics. By incorporating repetitive robotic-assisted exercises and strength training into rehabilitation programs, we can help alleviate symptoms, slow disease progression, and enhance muscle function.

Our personalized treatment plans are designed to address the specific needs of each individual, with the goal of maximizing independence and improving overall well-being.
