    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Neuromuscular Disorders
    • Metabolic Bone Disease

    Background:

    • Muscle weakness is a common symptom in patients with osteomalacia and rickets.
    • The differential diagnosis for muscle weakness is broad, necessitating a systematic approach.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the importance of identifying metabolic disorders in patients presenting with muscle weakness.
    • To emphasize the treatability of muscle weakness associated with specific metabolic bone diseases.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of clinical presentations associated with osteomalacia and rickets.
    • Discussion of diagnostic approaches for metabolic disorders causing muscle weakness.

    Main Results:

    • Muscle weakness can be a primary manifestation of underlying metabolic derangements.
