What are different signs and symptoms of disuse atrophy (subjective and objective)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hmmm: Weakness, malaise i guess, generally you see a decrease in mucscle mass. You can examine the patient but perhaps there are imaging means to estimate muscle mass. I think your doctor might just look at muscle girth as an objective measurement. Subjective is what you the subject feels.
