Abstract
Diseases of the organs responsible for movement, i.e. the motor neurons, the neuromuscular transfer and the muscles themselves, are designated as neuromuscular diseases. Neuromuscular diseases occurring in childhood are either genetically linked or triggered by disorders of the immune system. In total, approximately 0.2–0.5% of all children are affected by neuromuscular diseases, whereby the frequency of individual entities of these always rare diseases greatly varies. The more complex the disease symptoms, the rarer the disease and the more severe the disability is in an adolescent, the more helpful is a meticulous transition from pediatrics to the medical world of adults. Muscle centers and medical centers for adults with intellectual and multiple disabilities are capable of maintaining a multiprofessional treatment concept, when necessary also into adulthood.
