OverviewAlthough symptoms relating to the muscles such as myalgia, fatigue and cramps are extremely common, most of the myopathies are very rare indeed. It is therefore difficult for a clinician with an average practice to gain much experience in the recognition of different types of muscle disease, let alone their optimum management. The myopathies are among the most fascinating group of disorders, both to treat and to study. Much of the cutting edge of the ""new genetics"" was performed in the study of muscle disease. Also, much of the work that remains to be done in the treatment of genetic diseases will be pioneered in patients with muscle diseases. Myopathies in Clinical Practice brings together the latest knowledge and provides the general clinician with a concise yet comprehensive manual for encounters with myopathies. The content is biased towards clinical assessment and those disorders that are most common or of particular importance.
