As
mentioned above, refers muscular atrophy a state where the person tends to lose
muscle mass. This is one of those diseases that can cause a great impact on
quality of life of the victim, because he can make it powerless to accomplish
even the simplest tasks, as is the ability to work directly related to muscle
strength. And when muscle mass begins to decrease, muscle weakness starts to
increase. According to experts, muscle atrophy occurs in two ways; atrophy and
neurogenic atrophy.
To
continue, what was predicted, this condition exists in two ways. The first
type, which is muscular, has a sedentary lifestyle to blame for their
development. It affects those who are not using their muscles enough.
Therefore, people who are bed devastated prone to develop this type of muscular
dystrophy,
The
other type is called neurogenic atrophy. This may be a result of illness or
some type of injury, the nerve that is being done related to the muscles. It
can be caused by:
•
Burns
• The
cachexia (defined as a general reduction in vitality and strength of mind and
body in general, it is the result of a worsening of chronic disease .. AIDS can
be an example)
•
Steroid therapy for long-term treatment
•
Guillain-Barré syndrome (defined as a state in which the body's immune system
attacks the nerves of the body.)
•
spinal cord injury
• Lou
Gehrig's disease (also known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis known, and is one
of the most common causes of neurogenic atrophy. It relates asks to a
neurological disorder, the muscles may be what makes them so small that the
person be naturalized disabled, or . die)
•
Severe malnutrition
•
myopathy associated with alcohol abuse,
•
diabetes-associated neuropathy (nerve damage caused by diabetes.)
•
Osteoarthritis
• A
peripheral nerve injury
•
Polio (also known as infantile paralysis, is a contagious viral disease of the
brain stem and spinal cord are affected.)
•
Rheumatoid arthritis
•
Stroke
• HIV
/ AIDS
Symptoms
As
already mentioned, the main symptom of this disease muscle weakness. This
weakness can be so severe that the person is not capable of a task as simple as
walking through out. It affects the quality of life due to accident risks that
accompany the responsibilities of the victims to perform experiments. For
example, walking cause serious injury to the person.
Experts
say to the state of muscle atrophy are addressed, to be provided through
participation in a regular exercise program, and a healthy diet. In fact, many
people have to rely in a position as a result of these steps religiously. The
main objective of strengthening exercises and food is to the muscle tissue to
rebuild and overcome the weakness.
In
terms of other neurogenic atrophy is affected, as you read, it is caused by
pre-existing conditions. As long as these conditions are treated, the condition
can not be improved. Apart from regular exercise are also necessary to speed
recovery muscular atrophy.
Muscular
atrophy is a disease that is too serious to be ignored. If the type of muscle
atrophy, then the situation can be treated and reversed. However, it may not be
the same with the neurogenic way you can well understand the seriousness of the
factors that are known to be the cause.
