- •Concept ID:
- C0409355
- •
- Finding
A type of knee joint contracture in which the knee is in a fixed bent (flexed) configuration such that it cannot be straightened actively or passively.
Feeding difficulties- MedGen UID:
- 65429
- •Concept ID:
- C0232466
- •

Impaired ability to eat related to problems gathering food and getting ready to suck, chew, or swallow it.

Motor delay- MedGen UID:
- 381392
- •Concept ID:
- C1854301
- •
- Finding
A type of Developmental delay characterized by a delay in acquiring motor skills.
Hypotonia- MedGen UID:
- 10133
- •Concept ID:
- C0026827
- •
- Finding
Hypotonia is an abnormally low muscle tone (the amount of tension or resistance to movement in a muscle). Even when relaxed, muscles have a continuous and passive partial contraction which provides some resistance to passive stretching. Hypotonia thus manifests as diminished resistance to passive stretching. Hypotonia is not the same as muscle weakness, although the two conditions can co-exist.
Proximal muscle weakness- MedGen UID:
- 113169
- •Concept ID:
- C0221629
- •
- Finding
A lack of strength of the proximal muscles.
Neck muscle weakness- MedGen UID:
- 66808
- •Concept ID:
- C0240479
- •
- Finding
Decreased strength of the neck musculature.
Flexion contracture- MedGen UID:
- 83069
- •Concept ID:
- C0333068
- •
- Anatomical Abnormality
A flexion contracture is a bent (flexed) joint that cannot be straightened actively or passively. It is thus a chronic loss of joint motion due to structural changes in muscle, tendons, ligaments, or skin that prevents normal movement of joints.
Elbow flexion contracture- MedGen UID:
- 98367
- •Concept ID:
- C0409338
- •
- Acquired Abnormality
An elbow contracture that limits the ability of the elbow joint to be extended (straightened), meaning that the elbow is fixed in an flexed (bent) position.
Hip contracture- MedGen UID:
- 140815
- •Concept ID:
- C0409354
- •
- Acquired Abnormality
Lack of full passive range of motion (restrictions in flexion, extension, or other movements) of the hip joint resulting from structural changes of non-bony tissues, such as muscles, tendons, ligaments, joint capsules and/or skin.
Weakness of facial musculature- MedGen UID:
- 98103
- •Concept ID:
- C0427055
- •
- Disease or Syndrome
Reduced strength of one or more muscles innervated by the facial nerve (the seventh cranial nerve).
Generalized muscle weakness- MedGen UID:
- 155433
- •Concept ID:
- C0746674
- •
- Sign or Symptom
Generalized weakness or decreased strength of the muscles, affecting both distal and proximal musculature.
Axial muscle weakness- MedGen UID:
- 334472
- •Concept ID:
- C1843697
- •
- Finding
Reduced strength of the axial musculature (i.e., of the muscles of the head and neck, spine, and ribs).
Increased variability in muscle fiber diameter- MedGen UID:
- 336019
- •Concept ID:
- C1843700
- •
- Finding
An abnormally high degree of muscle fiber size variation. This phenotypic feature can be observed upon muscle biopsy.
Type 1 muscle fiber predominance- MedGen UID:
- 344274
- •Concept ID:
- C1854387
- •
- Finding
An abnormal predominance of type I muscle fibers (in general, this feature can only be observed on muscle biopsy).
EMG: decremental response of compound muscle action potential to repetitive nerve stimulation- MedGen UID:
- 892749
- •Concept ID:
- C4021728
- •
- Finding
A compound muscle action potential (CMAP) is a type of electromyography (EMG). CMAP refers to a group of almost simultaneous action potentials from several muscle fibers in the same area evoked by stimulation of the supplying motor nerve and are recorded as one multipeaked summated action potential. This abnormality refers to a greater than normal decrease in the amplitude during the course of the investigation.
Increased endomysial connective tissue- MedGen UID:
- 867771
- •Concept ID:
- C4022161
- •
- Finding
An increased volume of the endomysium, which is a connective tissue sheath that surrounds each muscule fiber. Together, bundles of muscle fibers form a fasciculus, surrounded by another layer of connective tissue called the perimysium.
Apnea- MedGen UID:
- 2009
- •Concept ID:
- C0003578
- •
- Sign or Symptom
Lack of breathing with no movement of the respiratory muscles and no exchange of air in the lungs. This term refers to a disposition to have recurrent episodes of apnea rather than to a single event.
Respiratory failure- MedGen UID:
- 257837
- •Concept ID:
- C1145670
- •
- Disease or Syndrome
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.
Respiratory insufficiency due to muscle weakness- MedGen UID:
- 812797
- •Concept ID:
- C3806467
- •
- Finding
Abnormal circulating creatine kinase concentration- MedGen UID:

High palate- MedGen UID:
- 66814
- •Concept ID:
- C0240635
- •
- Congenital Abnormality
Height of the palate more than 2 SD above the mean (objective) or palatal height at the level of the first permanent molar more than twice the height of the teeth (subjective).
Myopathic facies- MedGen UID:
- 90695
- •Concept ID:
- C0332615
- •
- Finding
A facial appearance characteristic of myopathic conditions. The face appears expressionless with sunken cheeks, bilateral ptosis, and inability to elevate the corners of the mouth, due to muscle weakness.
