About neuromuscular disorders
Neuromuscular disorders cause you to lose control of your movement. This often affects the eyes, mouth and limbs. The conditions affect nerves that allow communication between the muscles and the brain. These neurons become damaged or die, stopping communication and leaving muscles to weaken or waste away.
There are many types of neuromuscular disorders. This disease category includes many conditions that affect muscle function.
