Foot dorsiflexor weakness- MedGen UID:
- 356163
- •Concept ID:
- C1866141
- •
- Finding
Weakness of the muscles responsible for dorsiflexion of the foot, that is, of the movement of the toes towards the shin. The foot dorsiflexors include the tibialis anterior, the extensor hallucis longus, the extensor digitorum longus, and the peroneus tertius muscles.
Steppage gait- MedGen UID:
- 98105
- •Concept ID:
- C0427149
- •
- Finding
An abnormal gait pattern that arises from weakness of the pretibial and peroneal muscles due to a lower motor neuron lesion. Affected patients have footdrop and are unable to dorsiflex and evert the foot. The leg is lifted high on walking so that the toes clear the ground, and there may be a slapping noise when the foot strikes the ground again.
Distal muscle weakness- MedGen UID:
- 140883
- •Concept ID:
- C0427065
- •
- Finding
Reduced strength of the musculature of the distal extremities.
Calf muscle hypertrophy- MedGen UID:
- 335868
- •Concept ID:
- C1843057
- •
- Finding
Muscle hypertrophy affecting the calf muscles.
Increased connective tissue- MedGen UID:
- 400898
- •Concept ID:
- C1866021
- •
- Finding
The presence of an abnormally increased amount of connective tissue.
Elevated circulating creatine kinase concentration- MedGen UID:
- 69128
- •Concept ID:
- C0241005
- •
- Finding
An elevation of the level of the enzyme creatine kinase (also known as creatine phosphokinase (CK; EC 2.7.3.2) in the blood. CK levels can be elevated in a number of clinical disorders such as myocardial infarction, rhabdomyolysis, and muscular dystrophy.
