A large percentage of patients seen by a general neurologist have neuromuscular disorders. Many of these disorders have specific courses of treatment; however, when there is no specific treatment, the therapy is aimed at controlling symptoms, retarding progression, increasing the time of remission, and improving the quality of the patient's life. "Neuromuscular Diseases: Expert Clinicians' Views" emphasizes practical guidelines for diagnosis and treatment that have been proven successful in the contributors' experience. This clinical reference is essential for all practitioners involved in the care of patients with muscular dystrophies, congenital myopathies, myasthenia gravis, and other neuromuscular diseases.
