• Weakness

  […] characterized by early-onset proximal muscle weakness with a static course and moderately to grossly elevated serum creatine kinase levels accompanied by learning difficulties. [malacards.org]

  The muscle weakness does not progress, but most patients develop progressive atypical involuntary muscle contractions that influence gait, movement, and posture (extrapyramidal signs) that may be disabling. [rarediseases.org]

  […] insufficiency out of proportion to limb weakness; and 3) respiratory muscles weakness without any other severe muscle involvement. [neuroweb.us]

• Disability

  NIH Rare Diseases : 53 Myopathy with extrapyramidal signs is a disorder characterized by early childhood onset of proximal muscle weakness (muscles closest to the body’s midline) and learning disabilities. [malacards.org]

  The muscle weakness does not progress, but most patients develop progressive atypical involuntary muscle contractions that influence gait, movement, and posture (extrapyramidal signs) that may be disabling. [rarediseases.org]

  While the muscle weakness is static, most patients develop progressive extrapyramidal signs, including chorea, tremor, dystonic posturing and orofacial dyskinesia, that may become disabling (summary by Logan et al., 2014; pubmed:24336167). [flybase.org]
