Neuromuscular diseases are a broad group of disorders that affect the motor unit. Recent advances in genetics and molecular biology have greatly furthered understanding of these diseases. Unfortunately, this has not greatly modified treatment strategies. This article addresses some common features of these diseases, and some less commonly addressed issues.
