Finally, a brief summary of surgical options based on the EDX diagnosis and prognosis will be introduced.

Goals include: Recognize the anatomy of the brachial and lumbar plexus; develop a differential diagnosis for causes of brachial and lumbar plexopathies; identify other neurological conditions that can mimic plexopathies; interpret EDX studies in a systematic fashion to precisely localize the lesion(s).

Clinical Approach to Progressive Generalized Weakness in Adults

Rapidly growing targeted small molecule treatments, gene therapy trials and novel genetic discoveries are starting to revolutionize the management of neuromuscular disorders resulting in progressive generalized muscle weakness. Therefore, it is prudent to take a systematic approach for evaluating a patient with generalized/multisegmental weakness and recognize and differentiate the phenotypic patterns, confirm molecular diagnoses and expedite patient access to FDA approved and experimental therapies. Focused clinical history, examination and focused yet thorough diagnostic workup have become the cornerstone of such an approach. Faculty will present phenotypic patterns, diagnostic algorithms and easy to use tools and management strategies in a case-based approach.
