Neuromuscular Disorders Programme
Overview
Neuromuscular disorders are conditions that affect the nerves, muscles, or the junction between them. These disorders can cause a range of symptoms, including muscle weakness, pain, and difficulty moving. At AKUH, our programme is committed to offering state-of-the-art diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation services to patients and their families.
Conditions We Treat
Our programme specialises in the diagnosis and management of various neuromuscular disorders, including:
Muscular dystrophies: A group of genetic disorders that cause muscle weakness and wasting.
Motor neuron diseases: Conditions that affect the nerve cells responsible for controlling muscles, leading to muscle weakness and atrophy, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
Myopathies: Disorders that primarily affect the muscle fibres themselves.
Peripheral neuropathies: Conditions that damage the nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord.
Myasthenia gravis: An autoimmune disorder that causes muscle weakness.
To learn more about our highly trained and skilled experts, explore the Neurology section in our Find a Doctor directory.
By combining expert care, advanced technology, and a patient-centred approach, the AKUH neuromuscular disorders programme is committed to improving the lives of individuals with these conditions.
