    Author: Quan D.
    Journal: Rheum Dis Clin North Am; 2011 May; 37(2):233-44, vi. PubMed ID: 21444022.
    Abstract:
    Chronic muscle weakness is a common complaint among patients seen in rheumatology and neuromuscular specialty clinics. This article focuses on adult-onset muscular dystrophies, select hereditary myopathies, and other neuromuscular conditions that must be distinguished from acquired causes of inflammatory muscle disease such as polymyositis. A few organizing principles help to focus the evaluation and narrow the differential diagnosis.
