Default Sensory to Motor?

Your weakness could also be a manifestation of type II diabetes. Muscle weakness is one symptom of increasing insulin resistance. Also your neck should be evaluated for any stenosis there.
Hereditary neuropathies may also affect motor functions.


Mrs D,

Do some Peripheral Neuropathies become Motor? Can that be seen on EMG?
Just curious.
