Muscle atrophy is the wasting (thinning) or loss of muscle tissue.
Muscular atrophy is the decrease in size and wasting of muscle tissue. Muscles that lose their nerve supply can atrophy and simply waste away. People may lose 20 to 40 percent of their muscle and, along with it, their strength as they age.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Z72. 3 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of Z72.
SARCOPENIA IS NOT ALWAYS MUSCLE ATROPHY In addition, although first described as a loss of muscle mass and strength (3), sarcopenia has been mostly characterized using mass or strength only, although muscle mass explains only 4–60% of muscle strength in older men and women (1).
Sarcopenia defined as the loss of muscle mass and function associated with aging, and cachexia defined as weight loss due to an underlying illness, are muscle wasting disorders of particular relevance in the aging population but they go largely unrecognized.
There would be a loss of strength, loss of neuromuscular coordination, a loss of endurance, and an increase in injury risk. Muscle atrophy isn't just about losing size, it will also be a loss in strength.
Cataplexy is defined as a sudden loss of muscle tone associated with emotion. It is pathognomonic for narcolepsy, although some patients with narcolepsy do not have cataplexy. Patients often describe knee buckling, head dropping, facial twitching, jaw dropping, or weakness of the arms.
Lack of physical activity due to an injury or illness, poor nutrition, genetics, and certain medical conditions can all contribute to muscle atrophy. Muscle atrophy can occur after long periods of inactivity. If a muscle does not get any use, the body will eventually break it down to conserve energy.

Deconditioning is a complex process of physiological change following a period of inactivity, bedrest or sedentary lifestyle. It results in functional losses in such areas as mental status, degree of continence and ability to accomplish activities of daily living.
