  2. Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facioscapulohumeral...

    The right shoulder and arm muscles are more often affected than the left upper extremity muscles, a pattern also seen in Poland syndrome and hereditary neuralgic amyotrophy; this could reflect a genetic, developmental/anatomic, or functional-related mechanism.

  3. Limb–girdle muscular dystrophy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limb–girdle_muscular...

    Limb–girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) is a genetically heterogeneous group of rare muscular dystrophies that share a set of clinical characteristics. [7] It is characterised by progressive muscle wasting which affects predominantly hip and shoulder muscles. [ 8 ]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scheuermann's_disease

    A pre-operative image of a 22-year-old male with a very extreme case of Scheuermann's disease. Scheuermann's disease is a skeletal disorder. [3] It describes a condition where the vertebrae grow unevenly with respect to the sagittal plane; that is, the posterior angle is often greater than the anterior.

  5. Spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinal_and_bulbar_muscular...

    Spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA), popularly known as Kennedy's disease, is a rare, adult-onset, X-linked recessive lower motor neuron disease caused by trinucleotide CAG repeat expansions in exon 1 of the androgen receptor (AR) gene, which results in both loss of AR function and toxic gain of function.

  6. Upper motor neuron syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upper_motor_neuron_syndrome

    While multiple muscles in a limb are usually affected in the Upper Motor Neuron Syndrome, there is usually an imbalance of muscle activity (muscle tone), such that there is a stronger pull on one side of a joint, such as into elbow flexion. Decreasing the degree of this imbalance is a common focus of muscle strengthening programs.

  7. Shoulder impingement syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoulder_impingement_syndrome

    Shoulder impingement syndrome is a syndrome involving tendonitis (inflammation of tendons) of the rotator cuff muscles as they pass through the subacromial space, the passage beneath the acromion. It is particularly associated with tendonitis of the supraspinatus muscle . [ 1 ]

  8. Overgrowth syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overgrowth_syndrome

    In contrast, other overgrowth syndromes such as Proteus syndrome usually present in the postnatal period, characteristically between the second and third year of life. [2] In general, children with overgrowth syndromes are at increased risk of embryonic tumor development.

  9. Kyphosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyphosis

    Nutritional kyphosis can result from nutritional deficiencies, especially during childhood, such as vitamin D deficiency (producing rickets), which softens bones and results in the curving of the spine and limbs under the child's body weight. Gibbus deformity is a form of structural kyphosis, often a sequela to tuberculosis.
