Erba-Rota Myopathy

Erb-Roth myopathy (English: Werner-Hassler-Roth myopathy) is a hereditary disease characterized by progressive muscle weakness and muscle atrophy.

The disease was first described in 1952 by the German physician Werner Hassler. In 1968, his US colleague Ralph Roth also reported a case of the disease in his patient. It was later determined that the disease is hereditary.

The main symptoms of Erbarot myopathy are muscle weakness and muscle atrophy of the upper and lower extremities. Speech, vision and hearing disturbances may also occur. The disease can lead to loss of ability to work and disability.

Treatment of Erbarot myopathies consists of taking medications aimed at improving the functioning of the muscles and nervous system. In some cases, surgery may be required to restore muscle function.

Erbarot myopathy can be prevented by knowing about its existence and avoiding contact with carriers of the disease. It is also necessary to undergo regular medical examinations and monitor your health.
