fixed muscle weakness means that the degree of weakness is pretty stable, or that it is steadily progressive over a significant period of time.

fatigable muscle weakness means that there are significant differences in the degree of muscle weakness, which is more like a roller coaster pattern. even improvement or worsening is not a straight line.


I hope this is more clear.
