“…A common way of describing types of fatigue use the following categories: physiological (peripheral) and central fatigue (Taylor & Gandevia, 2008) though experienced fatigue has also been described in relation to people with NMDs . Fatigue in NMDs and other neurological conditions is known to be multi-factorial Kalkman et al, 2007) and may be of more concern for astronauts in long duration missions than current ISS missions.…”

“…The level of fatigue has been found to be significantly related to the muscular strength, the level of physical activity stated by the patient, sleep disorders, and pain. The fatigue level and the physical activity level are mostly associated with functional impairment in daily life [81].…”

Neuromuscular diseases (NMDs) are a heterogeneous group of diseases that are inherited or acquired, resulting from an abnormality in the anterior horn motor cells, peripheral nerves, neuromuscular junctions, or muscles.In NMDs, evaluation is performed to monitor the progression of the disease, to determine the appropriate treatment methods, to investigate the efficacy of treatment methods, and to predict and prevent possible complications. Evaluation methods should include evaluation of respiratory functions, muscle testing, normal joint movement, evaluation of flexibility, evaluation of motor functions and functional capacities, functional posture, and gait analysis.The aim of physiotherapy approaches is to improve the quality of life of patients and their families. The rehabilitation program should include the protection of the functional level of the patient and the physical and psychological functions, increasing the physical and mental capacity of the patient, and slowing the progress of the disease symptoms. The rehabilitation program should include the preservation of muscle strength, an exercise program for the prevention of contractures, increasing respiratory function and aerobic capacity, gait and balance training, fall prevention, walking aid training, psychosocial approach, vocational counseling, ergotherapy processes and nutrition expert support.

“…No entanto, a fadiga é um processo que está inserido na nossa sociedade e se constitui num problema de saúde pública 117 . Nas doenças crônicas como o câncer ou em indivíduos incapacitados, a fadiga e a limitação ao esforço podem restringir a realização das tarefas diárias prejudicando a qualidade de vida do paciente [118][119][120][121] . Portanto, o entendimento dos mecanismos envolvidos no processo de instalação e percepção da fadiga, assim como, as respostas cerebrais frente a esse fenômeno constitui-se num problema de dimensão epidemiológica.…”
