Haberfeld Neuromuscular Visiting Professorship 2023
Hypotonic infants and children present a challenge in terms of differential diagnosis. It is important to determine if weakness is present, then work to determine a possible genetic diagnosis for neuromuscular disease.
Our child neurology residents are not exposed often enough to pediatric patients with neuromuscular disorders. The opportunity to develop the skills to make accurate diagnoses is limited as many of these are rare disorders. Despite the rarity of the disorders, a methodical approach to history and physical exam can lead to diagnosis. Many of the patients with neuromuscular disorders will benefit from treatments specific to their diagnosis.
Target Audience
This education program is intended for child neurology physicians, fellows, residents, advanced practice providers, nurses, rehabilitation professionals and physical therapists.
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this conference, participants should be able to:
- Determine hypotonia vs. weakness in patients during examination.
- Develop a rational plan for genetic diagnosis in a neuromuscular patient and devise strategy for multidisciplinary care for a patient with congenital myopathy.
- Explain and implement the Care Consideration Guidelines for Congenital Myopathies.
