Muscle weakness is a lack of muscle strength. Its causes are many and can be divided into conditions that have either true or perceived muscle weakness. True muscle weakness is a primary symptom of a variety of skeletal muscle diseases, including muscular dystrophy and inflammatory myopathy.
A 2023 study found that effect on fatigue was the most valued attribute of MS therapy, and that participants would accept six additional relapses in 2 years and a decrease of 7 years in time to disease progression to improve either cognitive or physical fatigue from "quite a bit of difficulty" to "no difficulty."

Weakness is a symptom of many different medical conditions. [1] The causes are many and can be divided into conditions that have true or perceived muscle weakness. True muscle weakness is a primary symptom of a variety of skeletal muscle diseases, including muscular dystrophy and inflammatory myopathy.
Sarcopenia may also have no symptoms until it is severe and is often unrecognized. [2] Research has shown, however, that hypertrophy may occur in the upper parts of the body to compensate for this loss of lean muscle mass [ 3 ] [ 8 ] Therefore, one early indicator of the onset of sarcopenia can be significant loss of muscle mass in the anterior ...
Hypotonia is a state of low muscle tone [1] (the amount of tension or resistance to stretch in a muscle), often involving reduced muscle strength. Hypotonia is not a specific medical disorder, but a potential manifestation of many different diseases and disorders that affect motor nerve control by the brain or muscle strength.
Kettlebell training “can be a total body workout,” says Albert Matheny, RD, CSCS, co-founder of SoHo Strength Lab. “You can do strength training, cardio—a mix of stuff,” he continues.
Patients with camptocormia present with reduced strength and stooped posture when standing due to weakened paraspinous muscles (muscles parallel to the spine). Clinically, limb muscles show fatigue with repetitive movements. [5] Paraspinous muscles undergo fat infiltration. Electromyography may be used as well in diagnosis.
