The study was restricted to myositis patients who were 16 years or older at diagnosis and who had a subacute onset of symmetric proximal muscle weakness. [hopkinsarthritis.org]

Proximal muscle weakness ensues, and is frequently worse in the lower limbs. After years of progression, patients develop dysphonia and aspiration. [nature.com]

Polymyositis usually appears in people 30-60 years old and presents as insidious onset of symmetrical, proximal muscle weakness, occasionally accompanied by muscle soreness. [dartmouth.edu]

In the arms, the hand intrinsic muscles and the extensors of the fingers and wrist are preferentially affected; in the legs, patients may develop foot drop. Proximal limbs are less affected. [nature.com]

Foot drop is common and dysphagia may occur. CPK levels are normal or only minimally elevated. Mixed myopathic and “neurogenic” features are present on electromyography. The disease is typically resistant to immunosuppressive therapy. [hopkinsarthritis.org]
