    Re: Multiple sclerosis and classification

    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
