Classification of neuromuscular diseases.
There are many different neuromuscular diseases and some of these disorders are difficult to classify under a single heading. The authors propose a classification based primarily on the site of the major pathological process; this is the classification in present use by most neuromuscular clinicians. Further histopathological, biochemical and genetic studies will improve the nosology of these diseases.
