Becker-Muskeldystrophie

a genetic disorder causing progressive muscle weakness due to dystrophin gene mutations

Duchenne-Muskeldystrophie

a genetic disorder causing progressive muscle weakness, primarily in the hands and feet

distale Muskeldystrophie

a genetic muscle disorder causing progressive weakness in facial, shoulder, and upper arm muscles, typically starting in adolescence or adulthood

fazioskapulohumerale Muskeldystrophie

a group of genetic disorders characterized by progressive weakening and wasting of the muscles, predominantly affecting the shoulder and hip girdles

a rare genetic disorder that primarily affects the muscles of the eyes and throat

okulopharyngeale Muskeldystrophie

a disease that affect the muscles, leading to weakness or dysfunction

Myopathie

muscle tissue breakdown leading to myoglobin release, which can potentially cause kidney damage and other symptoms

Rhabdomyolyse

a chronic autoimmune neuromuscular disorder characterized by muscle weakness and fatigue, particularly in the voluntary muscles

Myasthenia gravis

a medical condition where the heart muscle becomes weakened, enlarged, or stiff, leading to impaired heart function

Kardiomyopathie

a progressive neurodegenerative disease affecting motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord

Amyotrophe Lateralsklerose

age-related loss of muscle mass, strength, and function, leading to decreased physical performance and increased health risks

Sarkopenie

a rare inflammatory disease that primarily affects skeletal muscles, causing muscle weakness and inflammation

Polymyositis

an autoimmune disease causing muscle inflammation and distinctive skin rashes

Dermatomyositis

a neurological condition characterized by a lack of coordination, affecting movements, balance, and speech

Arthritis

a form of inflammatory arthritis characterized by sudden and severe pain, swelling, and tenderness, typically affecting the joint at the base of the big toe

Gicht

a degenerative joint disease characterized by the breakdown of cartilage, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced joint mobility

Arthrose

the inflammation of the bursae, small fluid-filled sacs that cushion and reduce friction between bones, tendons, and muscles near joints

Schleimbeutelentzündung

an abnormal sideways curvature of the spine

Skoliose

a chronic bone disorder causing abnormal bone remodeling, leading to weakened and deformed bones with associated symptoms such as bone pain and fractures

Morbus Paget

a condition in children in which bones soften and become more susceptible to fractures and irregularities due to deficiency of vitamin D, calcium, or phosphate

Rachitis

a condition characterized by inflammation of the tendons on the outer part of the elbow, typically caused by repetitive arm and wrist motion

Tennisarm

a genetic disorder causing muscle weakness and delayed muscle relaxation

Myotone Dystrophie

a condition caused by repetitive motions or prolonged, repetitive use of certain muscles, tendons, or nerves, leading to pain, inflammation, and functional impairment in affected areas
