Primary disorders of muscles - what does this mean

Primary disorders of muscles occur when the muscles are damaged due to genetic mutations or other causes, leading to weakness, stiffness, and loss of muscle function. these disorders can be inherited or acquired, and can range from mild to severe.

What happens during the disease - primary disorders of muscles

Primary disorders of muscles are diseases or conditions that affect the muscle tissue directly, without any underlying systemic cause. these can be caused by genetic mutations, metabolic disorders, or autoimmune diseases. muscle weakness, atrophy, and cramps are common symptoms of primary muscle disorders. the underlying pathogenesis of these disorders is often complex and poorly understood, but can involve changes in muscle structure and function, as well as disruption of the normal signaling pathways between the nervous system and muscle tissue.
