Symptoms of lower limb muscle weakness

This phenomenon has a serious impact on life, because when patients become weak, their limbs will become particularly uncoordinated, and the weak parts will not listen to the command of the brain, which will cause some inconvenience to our actions. When people have lower limb weakness, they may fall down due to improper walking. So what are the symptoms of lower limb weakness?

Symptoms of leg muscle weakness;

The range and degree of affected muscles in patients with myasthenia generally vary greatly, but the eye muscles are most affected, accounting for more than 90%, followed by the bulbar muscles, and then the neck muscles, shoulder girdle muscles, upper limb muscles, trunk muscles and lower limb muscles, or all the muscles in the body are affected at the same time. Among them, the clinical manifestations and course of disease vary among myasthenia gravis patients of different ages. In children with myasthenia, almost 100% of cases mainly affect the eye muscles, manifested as ptosis, diplopia and inability to move the eyeballs.

The condition may get better or worse or alternate between left and right. In adults, 80-90% of patients with myasthenia gravis generally present with ptosis and diplopia as the first symptoms. In most patients, the bulbar muscles, facial muscles, neck muscles and limb muscles are gradually affected within 1-2 years after the onset of the first symptoms. There are also a few patients whose involvement is always limited to the eye muscles. Some patients present with bulbar muscle paralysis, choking while eating, slurred speech or limb weakness as the first symptoms, which gradually affect the eye muscles, bulbar muscles, respiratory muscles, etc. and turn into systemic muscle weakness. There is also a small number of patients who always have weakness limited to the bulbar muscles or spinal muscles.

Stem cell transplantation for leg muscle weakness:

Understand the symptoms of leg muscle weakness, detect it early, and treat leg muscle weakness in time. Treatment of leg muscle weakness cannot be done blindly, and scientific treatment methods must be chosen. So as not to delay the treatment and cause serious consequences. Stem cell transplantation is the best treatment for leg muscle weakness. The therapeutic principle of "stem cell therapy" is based on the fact that cells are pluripotent cells, have the ability to self-renew throughout life, and can be induced to differentiate into various types of mature nerve cells. Therefore, the clinical treatment effect for patients with leg muscle weakness is clear and ideal.

The sequelae of myelitis include sensory impairment: all sensations below the lesion segment are lost. There may be a sensory hypersensitivity area or band-like sensory abnormalities above the level of sensory loss. The sensory level gradually decreases as the disease recovers, but it is slower than the recovery of motor function.

2. Movement disorders: Spinal shock is common in the early stages, manifested by paraplegia, low limb tension, and disappearance of tendon reflexes, but no pathological signs. The shock period is usually 2-4 weeks or longer, and is longer in patients with severe spinal cord damage, combined with complications of lung and urinary tract infections and bedsores. During the recovery period, muscle tone gradually increases, tendon reflexes become hyperreflexic, pathological signs appear, and limb muscle strength gradually recovers from the distal end.

3. Autonomic dysfunction: In the early stage, there is urine and stool retention, no sense of bladder fullness, presenting as atonic neurogenic bladder, and filling incontinence occurs when the bladder is overfilled. As the spinal cord function recovers, the bladder capacity shrinks, and spontaneous urination occurs when the urine is filled to 300-400ml, which is called reflex neurogenic bladder. There is no or little sweating below the lesion level, skin desquamation and edema, brittle scaffolds and hyperkeratosis. It is recommended to receive timely nerve nutrition and rehabilitation exercise treatment in the rehabilitation department, and comprehensive treatments such as acupuncture and massage can be used.
