Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I go to the neurology department for a check-up. Is muscle atrophy the same as muscle weakness?Doctor's answer:
Muscle atrophy and muscle weakness are not a single disease. Generally, prolonged overuse can lead to the recurrence of muscle weakness. Sometimes it resembles a neurogenic muscle atrophy, such as when someone wants to buy something or when a person who has been bedridden for a long time without exercise finally experiences muscle atrophy. In terms of physical therapy, it is mainly classified based on muscle strength. Generally, the chances of muscle atrophy patients can be divided into 6 levels, with 0 indicating complete collapse.
