Watch Dr. Mark Tarnopolsky demonstrate the steps to perform a focused physical exam for someone presenting with muscle weakness. Assessing muscle weakness can help you arrive at a conditional diagnosis or can allow you to make a detailed referral to the appropriate specialist.
Dr. Tarnopolsky is a neuromuscular specialist and the Director of Neuromuscular and Neurometabolic Clinic at McMaster University.
When someone has been suffering with muscle weakness and related symptoms - sometimes for years - and doesn’t know what is causing them, just having a diagnosis can be a relief. It gives them an idea of how to manage their life moving forward and prepare for the future. It may also allow the person to seek treatment and work to manage their symptoms more effectively.
