Answer: C.a limited range of motion
Stiff muscles are characterized by __________.
Stiff-person syndrome (SPS) also known as stiff-man syndrome (SMS) is a rare neurologic disorder of unclear cause characterized by progressive rigidity and stiffness. The stiffness primarily affects the truncal muscles and is superimposed by spasms resulting in postural deformities. Chronic pain impaired mobility and lumbar hyperlordosis are common symptoms. SPS occurs in about one in a million people and is most commonly found in middle-aged people. A sm…
Delayed onset muscle soreness is the pain and stiffness felt in muscles several hours to days after unaccustomed or strenuous exercise. The soreness is felt most strongly 24 to 72 hours after the exercise. It is thought to be caused by eccentric exercise which causes small-scale damage to the muscle fibers. After such exercise the muscle adapts rapidly to prevent muscle damage and thereby soreness if the exercise is repeated. Delayed onset muscle …
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS): also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease in Canada and the United States as motor neurone disease (MND) in Australia Ireland New Zealand South Africa and the United Kingdom and Charcot disease in francophone countries; is a neurodegenerative neuromuscular disease that results in the progressive loss of motor neurons that control voluntary muscles .
ALS is characterized by stiff muscles muscle twitching and progressive muscle weakness from muscle wasting. The parts of the body affected by early symptoms of ALS depend on which motor neurons in the body are damaged first usually the limbs. As the disease progresses most patients are unable to walk or use their arms and eventually develop …
The peracute form is characterized by recumbency tachypnea dyspnea myalgia cardiac arrhythmias and rapid death. The subacute form causes weakness fasciculations cramping and stiffness of muscles which can lead to recumbency as well as a s…
