Muscle Atrophy

Muscle Atrophy is a physiological condition characterized by the reduction in skeletal muscle mass, strength, and function due to prolonged inactivity, aging, disease, or malnutrition, distinguished from other musculoskeletal disorders by its primary association with disuse or catabolic imbalance rather than structural damage or genetic mutation.
