The muscle damage is most usually caused by a crush injury, strenuous exercise, medications, or a substance use disorder. [3] Other causes include infections, electrical injury, heat stroke, prolonged immobilization, lack of blood flow to a limb, or snake bites [3] as well as intense or prolonged exercise, particularly in hot conditions.

In stroke patients, we found a moderate quality of evidence that MT as an additional therapy improves recovery of arm function after stroke. The quality of evidence regarding the effects of MT on the recovery of lower limb functions is still low, with only one study reporting effects.
Statin-associated autoimmune myopathy (SAAM), also known as anti-HMGCR myopathy, is a very rare form of muscle damage caused by the immune system in people who take statin medications. [1] However, there are cases of SAAM in patients who have not taken statin medication, and this can be explained by the exposure to natural sources of statin ...
This is known as compartment syndrome which leads to greater death of the surrounding muscle tissue around the injury. [14] As the muscle dies this will cause pain to radiate from the affected area into the compartmentalized tissue. A loss of range of motion from swelling will also be seen in the affected limb. Along with muscle strength ...
The known cardiovascular benefits of atorvastatin over time outweigh the low risk of muscle-related side effects. [63] [62] Statin-induced rhabdomyolysis is rare, occurring in less than 0.1% of people who take statins. [64] [65] [66] Statin induced rhabdomyolysis, as with other statin associated muscle symptoms, occurs most commonly in the ...

The Brunnstrom Approach follows six proposed stages of sequential motor recovery after a stroke. A patient can plateau at any of these stages, but will generally follow this sequence if he or she makes a full recovery. [1] [2] The variability found between patients depends on the location and severity of the lesion, and the potential for ...
