1,200 top medical experts on Muscle Weakness across 51 countries and 46 U.S. states, including 1,123 MDs (Physicians). This is based on an objective analysis of their Scientific Publications, Clinical Trials, Medicare, and NIH Grants.

  1. Muscle Weakness: A vague complaint of debility, fatigue, or exhaustion attributable to weakness of various muscles. The weakness can be characterized as subacute or chronic, often progressive, and is a manifestation of many muscle and neuromuscular diseases. (From Wyngaarden et al., Cecil Textbook of Medicine, 19th ed, p2251)
  2. Clinical guidelines are the recommended starting point to understand initial steps and current protocols in any disease or procedure:
  3. Broader Categories (#Experts): Muscular Diseases (3,414).
  4. Clinical Trials ClinicalTrials.gov : at least 442 including 26 Active, 236 Completed, 77 Recruiting
