Neuromuscular disorders (NMDs) are genetic or acquired conditions that mainly involve the peripheral nervous system or muscle. Adult NMDs refer to conditions diagnosed in adulthood. NMDs are a continually evolving area of study, often requiring re-classification and new diagnostic criteria.

On completion of this education activity participants will be able to:

Identify the signs and symptoms of 4 of the NMD's commonly delayed in diagnosis:
- Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) / Motor Neuron Disease (MND)
- Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA)
- Myotonic dystrophy (DM)
- Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) / Hereditary Motor and Sensory Neuropathy (HMSN)
Evaluate a patient's medical and family history, in conjunction with signs and symptoms, and their progression over time, to help facilitate an early referral to neurologists for 4 common NMDs.
