Multiple sclerosis and classification

[Agostino]

Hello,
just a rapid and stupid question.... when in a JOB AD is written "neuromuscular pathologies" (very often linked to child) we can also consider the multiple sclerosis within or only the ALS, dystrophies and similar ??? Do you know if within job ad the classification is so strict?


Thank you.

Hi,
quite strange.
Usually neuromuscular pathology is not linked to children, but to adults and refers to problems of the spine, e.g. lower back pain.
Often done in private practice and not to be mixed up with neurological pathology, which refers to MS, Stroke, etc..

That's as far as I have seen it,

Hi Fyzzio,
sorry, probably I did a mistake in my question... I meant "nuromuscular disease", anyway I have re-check and it's specified "paediatric neuromuscular disease".... but unfortunately nothing else is specified.

Thank you.

Hi,
in this case, I would suspect that this relates to orthopaedic services for children with neurological base diseases, e.g. surgery for torticollis or muscle lengthening after CP.
I just had a look myself. The terminology of neuromuscular disease appears to be mainly used in the US, they classify CP as one, but have also seen it in the UK.
This is from Neuromuscular Disorders Clinic - UK HealthCare:
Neuromuscular disorders treated include:

Nerve Disorders
•Guillain-Barre Syndrome
•Charcot-Marie-Tooth
•Dejerine-Sottas
•Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
•Dysautonomias
•Mononeuropathy Multiplex

Motor Neuron Disorders
•Post Polio Syndrome
•Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (Lou Gehrig's disease)
•Spinal Muscular Atrophy

Neuromuscular Junction Disorders
•Myasthenia Gravis
•Lambert-Eaton Syndrome
•Botulism

Muscle Disorders
•Polymyositis
•Dermatomyositis
•Muscular Dystrophy
•Myotonic Dystrophy
•Limb-girdle MD
•Facioscapulohumeral MD

Other
•Blepharospasm
•Writer's Cramp
•Spasmodic Torticollis (Cervical dystonia)
•Spasmodic Dysphonia

Good luck,
Fyzzio

I agree with your opinion.
