What are the Different Types of Neuromuscular Disease? These diseases generally result from a malfunctioning of the neuromuscular junction, which is the place where a nerve passes signals to muscles. This group of diseases includes Lambert-Eaton Syndrome (LES), the auto-immune disease Myasthenia Gravis (MG) and Congenital Myasthenic Syndrome (CMS), an inherited condition.

Common Diseases of the Muscular & Skeletal System Spondylitis. Spondylitis is the name for a group of diseases that primarily affect the spine, causing inflammation in the spine that can result in chronic pain and debilitation. The most common disease in this group is Ankylosing Spondylitis, an autoimmune disease.

- Prevention of Musculoskeletal Disorders in the Workplace. Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) affect the muscles, nerves and tendons. Work related MSDs (including those of the neck, upper extremities and low back) are one of the leading causes of lost workday injury and illness.

- Autoimmune Diseases. Autoimmune diseases can affect almost any part of the body, including the heart, brain, nerves, muscles, skin, eyes, joints, lungs, kidneys, glands, the digestive tract, and blood vessels. The classic sign of an autoimmune disease is inflammation, which can cause redness, heat, pain, and swelling.

- Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease that affects the nervous system, which includes the spinal cord, optic nerves, and brain. In a healthy body, those nerves are surrounded by a protective layer of fatty tissue called the myelin sheath. If you have MS, that fatty layer is irreversibly damaged by an unknown cause.

Nervous system diseases Nervous System Diseases. Multiple Sclerosis – Literally, “many hardenings,” MS is a disease of unknown cause that manifests as multiple hard plaques of degeneration of the insulating layer of nerve fibers in the central nervous system. The loss of insulation allows “short circuiting” of nerve impulses.

Common Diseases of the Muscular & Skeletal System Common Diseases of the Muscular & Skeletal System. The musculoskeletal system includes the bones and muscles. Photo Credit BananaStock/BananaStock/Getty Images. The muscular and skeletal system of the body consists of the bones, along with the muscles, ligaments, joints, tendons, cartilage and connective tissues. The main function of the musculoskeletal system is to provide the body with support.

Skeletal System Diseases Skeletal System Diseases. Our skeletal system provides a framework for the muscles and helps in the basic function of movement. However, due to age and various other factors, the bones become weak and fragile and may get affected by some common disorders.he tissues of the skeletal system are affected by degenerative wear and tear, infectious agents, genetic anomalies, etc. Some of the commonly known diseases, disorders and medical conditions of the skeletal system have been described below.

What is vasculitis? An eosinophil is a white blood cell subtype. The third phase is a vasculitis, usually involving the skin, lungs, nerves, kidneys and other organs. There is frequent devastation of the nerves (mononeuritis multiplex) which causes severe tingling, numbness, severe muscle wasting in hands and feet, and shooting pains.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) send impulses from the brain and spinal cord to all of the muscles in the body. This permits people to do activities like walking, catching a baseball, or moving the fingers to pick something up. Motor nerve damage can lead to muscle weakness, difficulty walking or moving the arms, cramps, and spasms.here are three types of peripheral nerves: motor, sensory and autonomic. Some neuropathies affect all three types of nerves, while others involve only one or two. 3 Types of Peripheral Nerves: 1  Motor. 2  Sensory.

- 1 Vasculitis — An autoimmune disorder that attacks the blood vessels that supply the brain and spinal cord, producing neurologic symptoms.  Systemic lupus erythematosus — A chronic, inflammatory autoimmune disorder that can affect the skin, joints, kidneys, lungs, nervous system and other organs of the body.

Pain management guide 1 A variety of different types of autoimmune diseases can produce symptoms of nerve pain and nerve damage. These include: multiple sclerosis, Guillain-Barré syndrome (a rare condition in which the immune system attacks the peripheral nerves), myasthenia gravis, lupus, and inflammatory bowel disease.  Cancer .

- Nerves and muscles create electrical signals that deliver messages to and from your brain. Sensory nerves deliver information about your surroundings to the brain. Motor nerves deliver signals from the brain to activate your muscles. Injuries or diseases that affect nerves and muscles can slow or halt the movement of these electrical signals. If you have pain, weakness or numbness in your back, neck or hands, measuring the speed and degree of electrical activity in your muscles and nerves can help your doctor make a proper diagnosis. This process is called electrodiagnostic testing.

multiple sclerosis Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease that affects the brain and spinal cord (central nervous system). Multiple sclerosis (MS) affects women more than men. The disorder is most commonly diagnosed between ages 20 to 40, but it can be seen at any age. MS is caused by damage to the myelin sheath. This sheath is the protective covering that surrounds nerve cells.

Musculoskeletal system diseases Musculoskeletal system diseases. Arthritis – As we age, our joint tissues become less resilient to wear and tear and start to degenerate manifesting as swelling, pain, and oftentimes, loss of mobility of joints. Changes occur in both joint soft tissues and the opposing bones, a condition called osteoarthritis.
