HPO HP:0001260 Dysarthria "Dysarthric speech is a general description referring to a neurological speech disorder characterized by poor articulation. Depending on the involved neurological structures, dysarthria may be further classified as spastic, flaccid, ataxic, hyperkinetic and hypokinetic, or mixed." [HPO:curators] HP:0002167
HPO HP:0009063 Progressive distal muscle weakness "Progressively reduced strength of the distal musculature." [HPO:curators] HP:0002460
HPO HP:0001611 Nasal speech "A type of speech characterized by the presence of an abnormally increased nasal airflow during speech." [HPO:sdoelken] May be associated with incomplete or weak closure of the velum. Examination is by nasal endoscopy. HP:0001608
HPO HP:0002828 Multiple joint contractures HP:0001371
HPO HP:0001638 Cardiomyopathy "A myocardial disorder in which the heart muscle is structurally and functionally abnormal, in the absence of coronary artery disease, hypertension, valvular disease and congenital heart disease sufficient to cause the observed myocardial abnormality." [HPO:probinson, PMID:17916581] HP:0001637
HPO HP:0003458 EMG: myopathic abnormalities "The presence of abnormal electromyographic patterns indicative of myopathy, such as small-short polyphasic motor unit potentials." [HPO:curators] HP:0003198, HP:0003457
HPO HP:0030226 Abnormal muscle fiber myotilin "A deviation from normal in the expression of myotilin in muscle tissue. Myotilin is a 57kD cytoskeletal protein." [Neuromics:vstraub] HP:0030089
HPO HP:0002355 Difficulty walking "Reduced ability to walk (ambulate)." [HPO:probinson] HP:0001288, HP:0004302
HPO HP:0009073 Progressive proximal muscle weakness "Lack of strength of the proximal muscles that becomes progressively more severe." [HPO:probinson] Removed logical definition that used anonymous class. Outstanding term request in UBERON for proximal muscle organ. HP:0003323, HP:0003701
HPO HP:0001265 Hyporeflexia "Reduction of neurologic reflexes such as the knee-jerk reaction." [HPO:probinson] HP:0001315
HPO HP:0009830 Peripheral neuropathy "Peripheral neuropathy is a general term for any disorder of the peripheral nervous system. The main clinical features used to classify peripheral neuropathy are distribution, type (mainly demyelinating versus mainly axonal), duration, and course." [HPO:sdoelken] Terms from this subhierarchy should be used to describe morphological abnormalities seen in peripheral neuropathy. Functional deficits should be coded separately. HP:0012638
HPO HP:0003693 Distal amyotrophy "Muscular atrophy affecting muscles in the distal portions of the extremities." [HPO:curators] Most polyneuropathies affect distal lower extremity miuscles early on. Polyneuropathies are roughly symmeetric in distribution and tend to affect nerves in a length-dependent manner, with the longest nerves first (stocking-glove distribution). HP:0003202
HPO HP:0003552 Muscle stiffness "A condition in which muscles cannot be moved quickly without accompanying pain or spasm." [HPO:probinson] HP:0011804
HPO HP:0003236 Elevated circulating creatine kinase concentration "An elevation of the level of the enzyme creatine kinase (also known as creatine phosphokinase, CPK; EC 2.7.3.2) in the blood. CPK levels can be elevated in a number of clinical disorders such as myocardial infarction, rhabdomyolysis, and muscular dystrophy." [HPO:probinson] 'has part' some \n('increased amount' and ('inheres in' some \n(IMR_0002602 and ('part of' some blood))) and ('has modifier' some abnormal)) HP:0040081
HPO HP:0006794 Loss of ability to walk in first decade HP:0002505
HPO HP:0003458 EMG: myopathic abnormalities "The presence of abnormal electromyographic patterns indicative of myopathy, such as small-short polyphasic motor unit potentials." [HPO:curators] HP:0003198, HP:0003457
HPO HP:0002015 Dysphagia "Difficulty in swallowing." [HPO:probinson] HP:0012638, HP:0025270
HPO HP:0002878 Respiratory failure "A severe form of respiratory insufficiency characterized by inadequate gas exchange such that the levels of oxygen or carbon dioxide cannot be maintained within normal limits." [HPO:probinson] Respiratory failure is classified as type 1 with hypoxemia (arterial partial pressure of oxygen less than 60 mmHg) without hypercapnea, and type 2 with hypoxemia in the present of hypercapnea (partial pressure of carbon dioxide over 50 mmHg). HP:0002093
HPO HP:0012515 Hip flexor weakness "Reduced ability to flex the femur, that is, to pull the knee upward." [ORCID:0000-0001-5208-3432] Hip flexion is mediated by multiple muscles including the iliopsoas, the rectus femoris, the sartorius, and several muscles from the medial compartment of thigh. HP:0003749
HPO HP:0012548 Fatty replacement of skeletal muscle "Muscle fibers degeneration resulting in fatty replacement of skeletal muscle fibers" [HPO:probinson, Neuromics:vstraub] Fatty infiltration of muscle tissue can be observed on muscle biopsy as well as through imaging by computed tomography and magnetic resonance tomography. HP:0011805
HPO HP:0003698 Difficulty standing HP:0004302
HPO HP:0009027 Foot dorsiflexor weakness "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." [HPO:probinson] Dorsiflexion of the foot extends the foot superiorly, as if taking the foot off the gas pedal. HP:0003690
HPO HP:0003551 Difficulty climbing stairs "Reduced ability to climb stairs." [HPO:probinson] HP:0004302
HPO HP:0002540 Inability to walk "Incapability to ambulate." [HPO:probinson] HP:0001288
HPO HP:0002792 Reduced vital capacity "An abnormal reduction on the vital capacity, which is defined as the total lung capacity (volume of air in the lungs at maximal inflation) less the residual volume (i.e., volume of air in the lungs following maximal exhalation) of the lung." [HPO:probinson] HP:0030878
