Patient's question:
My father experienced bilateral lower limb muscle weakness again at the beginning of this year, sometimes accompanied by trembling in the fingertips and toes. It later progressed to muscle atrophy. He is now in a semi-collapse state. Hello, can muscle atrophy be treated? Is it possible for my father to stand up and walk again?Doctor's answer:
Reappearance of bilateral lower limb muscle weakness and muscle atrophy. Currently, there is no specific treatment for this condition. For the collapse state caused by this condition, it is generally necessary to perform an electromyography for a thorough examination. You can consult the rehabilitation therapy department and implement functional exercises based on your physical condition. At the same time, acupuncture and massage can be combined for treatment. The effect is generally not very good. The only option is to slow down the progression of the disease.
