Neuromuscular disorders affect the muscles, peripheral nerves, motor neurons or neuromuscular junction. Children may present with delayed walking, muscle weakness, frequent falls, difficulty climbing stairs, poor head control, reduced stamina, swallowing difficulty or breathing problems.

Apollo Adlux Hospital evaluates conditions such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy, spinal muscular atrophy, congenital and acquired myopathies, peripheral neuropathies and myasthenic disorders. Investigations may include blood tests, genetic testing, nerve conduction studies, electromyography, muscle imaging and respiratory assessment. Long-term care may involve medication, physiotherapy, respiratory support, nutritional care, mobility assistance and genetic counselling.
