Corresponding author.Résumé |
The neuromuscular medicine and physiatry specialists are key health care providers who work cooperatively with a multidisciplinary team to provide coordinated care for individuals with neuromuscular diseases (NMDs). The director or coordinator of the team must be aware of the potential issues specific to NMDs and be able to access the interventions that are the foundations for proper care in NMD. Ultimate goals include maximizing health and functional capacities, performing medical monitoring and surveillance to inhibit and prevent complications, and promoting access and full integration into the community to optimize quality of life.
