引言

本文将总结儿童肌无力的评估。婴儿或新生儿肌张力减退或肌无力的评估将单独讨论。 (参见“肌张力减退和肌无力婴儿的概述”“致新生儿肌张力低下外周神经肌肉疾病概述”)

定义

肌无力是指肌肉自主主动活动对抗阻力的能力下降。肌无力可能起源于运动单元的任何部分,通常分为上运动神经元肌无力和下运动神经元肌无力,具体如下:

上运动神经元肌无力–上运动神经元肌无力源于大脑皮质和下行至背侧脊髓前角细胞(但不包括前角细胞)的皮质脊髓束的病变。

下运动神经元肌无力—下运动神经元肌无力源于前角细胞、周围神经、神经肌肉接头或肌肉的病变。

肌无力可能与肌张力减退或共济失调相混淆。肌张力减退是指对被动活动的阻力下降。共济失调指肌肉的协调能力下降。 (参见“肌张力减退和肌无力婴儿的概述”“对急性共济失调儿童的认识”)
