the herniation of muscle substances through a tear in the fascia surrounding it

surgical suturing of a muscle

release of a tendon from adhesions

distortion or impairment of voluntary movement resulting in fragmented or jerky motions

A condition of abnormal muscle tone that causes the impairment of voluntary muscle movement.

Abnormally increased motor function or activity; also known as hyperactivity.

a debilitating chronic condition characterized by fatigue; diffuse or specific muscle, joint, or bone pain; and a wide range of other symptoms.

The protrusion of a part of a structure through the tissues normally containing it.

A muscle disease characterized by the simultaneous inflammation and weakening of voluntary muscles in many parts of the body.

A group of more than 30 genetic diseases that are characterized by progressive weakness and degeneration of the skeletal muscles that control movement, without affecting the nervous system.

A harmless fluid-filled swelling that occurs most commonly on the outer surface of the wrist.

A chronic autoimmune disease that affects the neuromuscular junction and produces serious weakness of voluntary muscles.

Inflammation and swelling of the tendons that pass through the carpal tunnel, which then create pressure on the median nerve.

A calcium deposit in the plantar fascia near its attachment to the heel bone.

The loss of muscle mass, strength, and function that come with aging.

A chronic, degenerative central nervous system disorder characterized by fine muscle tremors, rigidity, and a slow or shuffling gait caused by inadequate levels of the neurotransmitter dopamine in the brain.
