Tibial (Medial) Sesamoiditis
Tibial sesamoiditis—or medial sesamoiditis—is an inflammation of the small, round bones (sesamoids) located beneath the first metatarsal head on the inner (medial) side of the foot. These sesamoid ...
Smooth Muscle Disorders
Smooth muscle is an involuntary muscle type found in the walls of hollow organs—such as the intestines, blood vessels, bladder, uterus, and airways—and in structures like the eye’s iris. Unlike ...
Skeletal Muscle Disorders
Skeletal muscles are the voluntary muscles attached to bones that enable us to move, maintain posture, and generate heat. A skeletal muscle disorder occurs when one or more of these muscles do not ...
Sarcopenia
Sarcopenia is a progressive disease of aging characterized by a loss of skeletal muscle mass, strength, and function, leading to frailty and higher risk of falls and disability. Healthy muscles ...
Muscle Wasting
Muscle wasting, medically termed muscle atrophy, is the progressive loss or thinning of skeletal muscle tissue, leading to decreased muscle mass and strength. This condition occurs when the balance ...
