Diseases of the muscle
When any problem related to muscle function occurs, the result is weakness. But weakness has many causes, only some of which are related to actual disease of the muscles. When a doctor sees a patient complaining of weakness, a first step is to determine if the patient's muscles are actually weak, or if there is some other reason (such as heart disease or depression) that makes it hard for the patient to function normally. Usually, a careful physical examination will establish if there is actual weakness in the muscles
