📖What is Muscle Weakness?

Muscle weakness is a reduced ability to generate normal strength in one or more muscles, making it harder to perform tasks like lifting objects, climbing stairs, or gripping items. It can affect specific muscle groups or be more generalized throughout the body, and may develop suddenly or gradually. It is distinct from fatigue, though the two often occur together.
