walking Breathing and swallowing difficulties are very rare and the condition does not usually affect life expectancy Over time, muscles become weaker resulting in children potentially losing their ability to walk when older SMA type IV – adult onset [thehumanthebody.com]

Such patients may have difficulty walking in the dark or on irregular surfaces because of proprioceptive problems with the feet. Polyneuropathy may also result in distal weakness and atrophy if there is actual loss of motor axons. [dartmouth.edu]

Peripheral nerve damage (peripheral neuropathy) Peripheral neuropathy generally appears in one of three patterns that can be distinguished clinically. [dartmouth.edu]

These other manifestations may include ataxia, dementia, mental retardation, optic neuropathy, retinopathy, peripheral neuropathy, amyotrophy, extrapyramidal dysfunction, deafness, or ichthyosis. [neupsykey.com]

Common features are muscle weakness (distal or proximal) with atrophy and hyporeflexia, but no sensory involvement. They can be acquired or hereditary. [em-consulte.com]

Signs LMD dysfunction in the limbs manifests as weakness, atrophy, fasciculations and hyporeflexia. The thighs are often a site of marked fasciculation. [patient.info]

Lower motor neuron findings include atrophy, hypotonia, cramps, fasciculations, hyporeflexia, weakness, and bulbar dysarthria. [consultant360.com]

Sclerosis -sporadic, involves only upper motor neurons, spasticity -hyperreflexia, more benign course -little atrophy or signs of denervation Progressive Spinal Muscular Atrophy -mostly sporadic, progressive weakness, muscle atrophy, fasciculations, areflexia [brainscape.com]

The paralysis is usually asymmetrical, predominantly involving the proximal muscles (lower limbs) with pain and tenderness with typical weakness, flaccidity and areflexia. The extent is variable from one muscle group to complete tetraparesis. [neuroweb.us]
