What is cerebral myopathy and what are the symptoms?

Myopathy

As in dermatitis that affects the skin, and neuropathy that affects the nerves, myopathy is a systemic condition that attacks the muscle tissue, most of the time all over the body.

There are various types of myopathy, including that caused by diabetes and other endocrine abnormalities from infections and from autoimmune diseases and then there are toxic and hereditary causes.

Most myopathies show up in the muscles close to the trunk first, in the pectoral muscles in the upper extremities and the muscles in the thigh.

Symptoms

Patients with myopathy will detect a weakness walking up stairs, their knees may involuntarily buckle and they may find it harder to do routine tasks such as opening jars.
