Neuromuscular-induced respiratory muscle weakness is a type of respiratory impairment caused by the muscles used for breathing becoming weakened as a result of the underlying neuromuscular disease. In neuromuscular diseases that can affect breathing, the muscles responsible for breathing can become weakened, resulting in a reduced ability to fully expand the chest cavity with each breath. In turn, this leads to a reduced ability to fully inflate the lungs, which is the definition of hypoinflation. Throughout this process, lung and airway tissues remain healthy. Examples of diseases that can cause neuromuscular-induced respiratory muscle weakness include Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Myasthenia Gravis (MG), and CMT.
When Medicine Lost Its Compass
Evidence failed not because it was wrong, but because it was weaponized. I lived the downstream effects of that failure for more than a decade. This is what happens when medicine forgets that data always ends in a human being.
