Myopathy is a disease of muscle in which the muscle fibers do not function properly. This results in muscular weakness. Myopathy simply means muscle disease (Greek myo- muscle + patheia < -pathy suffering). This meaning implies that the primary defect is within the muscle, as opposed to the nerves (neuropathies or neurogenic disorders) or elsewhere (e.g., the brain).
