What are the symptoms of arm muscle atrophy?

For patients with arm muscle atrophy, this treatment period puts greater pressure on the arms, so patients are advised to pay attention to treatment and nursing to promote recovery from the disease. In addition, patients are advised to pay attention to check-ups during this period, so as to determine the cause of arm muscle atrophy through the system, thereby providing assistance for the next step of disease recovery.

Symptoms of arm muscle atrophy may include shoulder girdle muscle atrophy, which is a symptom and clinical manifestation of progressive proximal muscular atrophy of the limbs. Progressive proximal muscular atrophy of the limbs is often myogenic atrophy, which is more obvious in the proximal limbs and trunk muscles, and often manifests as atrophy and weakness of the shoulder girdle muscles and pelvic girdle muscles.

Secondly, the disease usually begins with weakness and gradual atrophy of the small muscles in the hands, which can affect one side or both sides, or start from one side and then spread to the other side. The palm becomes flat due to atrophy of the thenar and hypothenar muscles, and the hand becomes claw-shaped due to atrophy of the interosseous muscles. The third symptom is that the arm muscle atrophy extends upward, gradually invading the forearm, upper arm and shoulder girdle. Fasciculations are common and may be confined to certain muscle groups or widespread and are easily induced by slapping the hands. In a few cases, muscular atrophy and weakness may start from the tibialis anterior and peroneus muscles of the lower limbs or from the extensor muscles of the neck. In some cases, it may also start from the proximal muscles of the upper and lower limbs. Therefore, after discovering the symptoms of the disease, treatment must be started in a timely manner to promote recovery from the disease.

Patients with arm muscle atrophy should not do heavy physical work in the near future. They should rest more and allow their arms to recover. Another thing is that early treatment of arm muscle atrophy is relatively easy, so treatment should be started early. These are the specific knowledge about arm muscle atrophy. Patients should promote the recovery of the disease through the relevant care of arm muscle atrophy.
