definition:• Muscle atrophy is

defined as A decrease in the mass of the muscle .

• It can be A partial or complete wasting away of muscle .

• This leads to muscle weakness since the ability to exert force is related to mass.

Structure of skeletal muscle: muscle fibers myofibrils myofilaments

Thin filament

Thick filament

Transverse section of skeletal muscle

Page 8: skeletal Muscle atrophy

• Attached to skeleton • Large in size• Cylindrical shape• Striated muscle• Has thick sarcolemma• Has multiple oval peripheral nucleus• Sarcoplasm contains organelles especially mitochondria,

sarcoplasmic reticulum and myofibrils…..//inclusion: myoglobin, glycogen granules and lipid droplets as a source of energy.

Characters of skeletal muscle

Page 9: skeletal Muscle atrophy

•Origin..• Triad tubular system• Regenerates from satellite cells (present within the external lamina of sarcolemma)

• Innervation from somatic nervous system

Page 10: skeletal Muscle atrophy

symptoms• Muscular atrophy affects a high number of the elderly . • Symptoms that frequently affect the muscles may also

involve other body systems .• Muscular atrophy decreases qualities of life as the

sufferer becomes unable to perform certain tasks or worsen the risks of accidents while performing those (like walking). Muscular atrophy increases the risks of falling in conditions such as IBM (inclusion body myositis).

Page 11: skeletal Muscle atrophy

• Muscle atrophy may accompany other symptoms affecting the neuromuscular system including:

• Balance problems, difficulty walking, and falls.• Difficulty with speaking and swallowing.• Facial weakness.• memory loss, tingling or weakness of extremities.• Loss of muscle coordination.• Impaired balance and coordination.

Page 12: skeletal Muscle atrophy

• Numbness in arms or legs.

• Progressive loss of movement.

• Progressive weakness and numbness in the legs.

• Symptoms of multiple sclerosis, such as weakness, vision problems, unsteady walk, fatigue, and depression.

Causes Of Muscle AtrophyDisuse Atrophy caused by situations or conditions including :Being bedridden(not moving for a long time like

paralysis.)

Dermatomyositis (a condition characterized by muscle inflammation and skin rash)

Page 18: skeletal Muscle atrophy

Dermatomyositis

Page 19: skeletal Muscle atrophy

Injury or fraction Injury, such as a broken arm or leg that must be immobilized

Page 20: skeletal Muscle atrophy

• Osteoarthritis: (common type of arthritis that causes pain and immobility.

Page 21: skeletal Muscle atrophy

• Rheumatoid arthritis: (chronic autoimmune disease characterized by joint inflammation)

Page 22: skeletal Muscle atrophy

Muscular dystrophy: (inherited disorder that causes a progressive loss of muscle tissue and muscle weakness)

Polymyositis: (widespread inflammation and weakness of muscles)

Malnutrition (progressive weakening and inability to adequately use muscles)

Page 23: skeletal Muscle atrophy

Neurogenic causes of muscle atrophy :

Multiple sclerosis (disease that affects the brain and spinal cord causing weakness, coordination, balance difficulties, and other problems)

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease; a severe neuromuscular disease that causes muscle weakness and disability)

Spinal cord atrophy (genetic disease causing decreased muscle function from a neural defect)

Page 24: skeletal Muscle atrophy

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis Spinal cord atrophy

Page 25: skeletal Muscle atrophy

Diabetic neuropathy (nerve damage due to high blood sugar levels associated with diabetes)

Guillain-Barre syndrome (autoimmune nerve disorder)

Exposure to toxin or poisonous substances

Diagnosis 1 -your doctor will take a complete medical history and to understand all of

your symptoms.2 -Tell him or her about old or recent injuries you’ve experienced and

previously diagnosed medical conditions.3 -List prescriptions, over-the counter medications, and supplements you are

taking and your symptoms.4-Your doctor may order additional tests to help

With the diagnosis and to rule out certain diseases

Page 27: skeletal Muscle atrophy

What to do?? 

• blood tests• X-rays• magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)• computed tomography (CT) scan• nerve conduction studies• muscle or nerve biopsy• electromyography (EMG)• Your doctor may refer you to a specialist depending on the results

of these tests

Page 28: skeletal Muscle atrophy

Diagnosis

Page 29: skeletal Muscle atrophy

Treatment Electrical stimulation Physical therapy Surgery Medication Diet

Page 30: skeletal Muscle atrophy

Treatment by electrical stimulation

• By using electrical muscle stimulation (E.M.S) of low voltage to stimulate denervated muscle (where nerve is damaged).

• It is placed on patient skin over the affected muscle and elicits a sensory effect of decreased pain or a muscular effect through changes of intensity , frequency and pulse of the current.

Page 31: skeletal Muscle atrophy

Physical therapy• Exercise is aimed at strengthening the affected muscle and restoring as

much normal.

• The physical therapy program employed may depend on the underlying cause of atrophy ..extend of atrophy and location of the atrophied muscle .

• It involves increasing the rang of motion for the affected joint.

• Aquatic rehabilitation

• Musculoskeletal manipulation

Physical treatment

Page 35: skeletal Muscle atrophy

Treatment by surgeryWhen atrophy occurs as a result of contractures caused by sever burns Surgery is performed to correct the contractures . This may be followed by extensive rehabilitation involving physical therapy.

.Condition such as herniated discs also require surgical intervention

Page 36: skeletal Muscle atrophy

Treatment by medication• To reduce inflammation …. doctors give a course of anti-inflammatory medication to

patients particularly for patients with autoimmune disorder.

doctors use amino acid therapy when muscle wasting occurs due to inadequacies in protein diet or absence of certain amino acid .

In cases of sever muscle atrophy :Anabolic steroid are commonly administered to patients as a treatment for inflammation

Page 37: skeletal Muscle atrophy

Treatment by dietAfter muscle atrophy , should focus on protein diet to help muscle growth

Fish : the most source for muscle atrophy treatment

(Chicken ,eggs , beef and lentil ) : another important proteins for muscle rebuilding

Vegetables e.g. (spinach)and fruits to have minerals and vitamins.

*in addition to that patient should eat carbohydrate .
