Muscle Control Loss,Young and Old

Custom Search

A great biblical king known as King David, had at the close of his reign experience some muscle control loss, when he spoke these words, I was young and now i'm old, just like so many of us, when we begin to reach the evening of our lives, our anatomies begin to loose their youthfulness, as well as their usefulness. There are many causes for muscle control loss, some are from birth, which means the muscles never fully develop, or develop improperly, therefore never performing their purposes.

Muscle is the contractile tissue of the body, and is form from embryonic germ cells. Muscle cells have filaments that move and change the size of the cell. Our bodies are constructed with three types of muscle cells,

The skeletal muscle, these muscles are told to act from the brain to the muscle itself, the communication is voluntary, the brain signals are to make a fist you have a choice to make a fist or not to make a fist. The muscle reacts to conscious control.
The cardiac muscle, is an involuntary muscle,which is found only in the heart.The Skeletal and Cardiac muscles are closely akin,because they are "Striated".
The smooth muscle is an involuntary muscle also, though not as close akin to the Skeletal as the Cardiac muscle. The smooth muscle is found within the structures of the ESOPHAGUS, STOMACH, and INTESTINES. Even though all muscles reactions are not always stimulative of the brain, the brain is always aware and has the final control of voluntary muscles.

The smooth involuntary muscle that is found within the esophagus,stomach,and intestines,have proven that it act alone,without any thought process,have you ever gotten up a little late,you didn't have time for a piece of toast,nor one cup of coffee,well!The meeting is at 9:00 AM,as you sit through the meeting your stomach begin to make funny noise,you can't tell it to shut up,you try non conspicuous techniques to no avail,finally you say the heck with it,those are the involuntary muscles doing their thing.

Muscle control loss,we know that this topic can be justified, or understood because of accidents,injuries,and aging,but what about diseases,Neuromuscular Disease is very broad,it include diseases that affect the muscles and/or their nervous control,resulting in some or a lot of paralysis,and neurological disorders,such as Parkinson's disease, Cerebrovascular, MS, Myasthenia Gravis, and more. NOTE!humanlyexhausted.com by no means try to offer cures,or solutions,to the many problems that we face, but what we do try is to offer, words of comfort, information, and hope.

The body's anatomy contains three types of muscles.

The purpose and actions of the three types, are on the left of this page. These muscles are formed by a progenitor cell that has the name myoblast. Muscle diseases plays a very important role in causing muscle control loss.

Symptoms of muscle diseases may include

Weakness-lack of muscle strength
Spasticity-tightness of muscles
Myoclonus-muscle twitching
myalgia-muscle pains, and symptom of diseases and disorders.

There are diagnostic procedures that may reveal muscular disorders, including testing creatine kinase levels in the blood, via electromyography measuring electrical activity in muscles. It might be necessary in some cases to perform a muscle biopsy- to identify a myopathy, as well as genetic testing, to identify DNA abnormalities associated with specific myopathies and dystrophies.

Neuromuscular diseases are those that affect the muscles and/or their nervous control. Note! Muscle weakness can cause hammer toe.

In general, problems with nervous control, can cause spasticity or paralysis, depending on the location and nature of the problem. A large number of neurological disorders leads to problems with movement, ranging from cerebrovascular accident(stroke) and Parkinson's disease, also Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.

A non-invasive elastography technique, that measures muscle noise, is undergoing studies to determine a way of monitoring neuromuscular disease. The sound produced by a muscle comes from the shortening of actomyosin filaments, along the axis of the muscle.

During the contraction, the muscle shortens along its longitude axis, and expands across the transverse axis, producing vibrations at the surface.

Diseases and disorders of muscles are so closely intertwine with other body systems, the diagnosis process is highly complicated. This means the vascular, nervous, and integumentary systems, are interrelated disorders, one of these systems, may also affect the musculoskeletal system, and complicate the diagnosis of the disorder's origin.

Diseases of the musculoskeletal system mostly encompass functional disorders, or motion discrepancies; the level of impairment depends specifically on the problem and its severity.

Articular joints disorders are the most common. However among the diagnoses are: primary muscular diseases, neurologic related to the medical science that deals with the nervous system, and disorders, affecting it deficits, toxins, are endocrine abnormalities, metabolic disorders, infectious diseases, blood and vascular disorders, and nutritional imbalances.

Disorders of muscles from another body system can bring about irregularities such as: impairment of ocular motion and control, respiratory dysfunction, and bladder malfunction.

Complete paralysis, paresis-partial loss of movement, or ataxia-lack of muscle coordination movement, may be caused by primary muscular dysfunctions of infectious or toxic origin; however, the primary disorder is usually related to the nervous system, with the muscular system acting as the effector organ, an organ capable of responding to a stimulus, especially a nerve impulse.

One understated disorder that begins during pregnancy is Pelvic girdle pain, it is complex and multi-factorial and likely to be also represented by a series of sub-groups, driven by pain varying from peripheral or central nervous system, altered laxity/stiffness of muscles, laxity to injury of tendinous/ligamentous structures to mal-adaptive body mechanics.
