ICD-10 code M62. 5 for Muscle wasting and atrophy, not elsewhere classified is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Soft tissue disorders .
Muscle atrophy is when muscles waste away. It's usually caused by a lack of physical activity. When a disease or injury makes it difficult or impossible for you to move an arm or leg, the lack of mobility can result in muscle wasting.
ICD-10-CM Code for Myositis, unspecified M60. 9.
There are three types of muscle atrophy: physiologic, pathologic, and neurogenic. Physiologic atrophy is caused by not using the muscles enough. This type of atrophy can often be reversed with exercise and better nutrition.
In most people, muscle atrophy is caused by not using the muscles enough. Those with sedentary jobs, medical conditions that limit their movement, or decreased activity levels can lose muscle tone and develop atrophy. Those who are bedridden can have significant muscle wasting.
Muscle atrophy is a highly debilitating condition occurring as a result of various pathological states such as cancer, AIDS, liver cirrhosis, kidney failure, heart failure, sepsis, obesity, disuse, aging, and diabetes.
Inflammation of a muscle or muscle tissue. Inflammation of skeletal muscle, not including inflammation of cardiac muscle. Inflammation of skeletal muscle.
Myositis is the name for a group of rare conditions. The main symptoms are weak, painful or aching muscles. This usually gets worse, slowly over time. You may also trip or fall a lot, and be very tired after walking or standing.

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.
While muscular dystrophy can cause muscle atrophy, they are not the same condition. Muscular dystrophy is a genetic condition encompassing nine main types, while muscle atrophy refers to the loss of muscle tissue. Muscle atrophy can often be reversed with treatments and exercise.
Listen to pronunciation. (MUH-sul WAY-sting) A weakening, shrinking, and loss of muscle caused by disease or lack of use. Muscle wasting decreases strength and the ability to move.
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.
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.
An example of atrophy is the shrinking of the muscles of a person who is confined to bed during a long illness or due to an accident.
Muscle atrophy is defined as a decrease in the mass of the muscle; it can be a partial or complete wasting away of muscle, and is most commonly experienced when persons suffer temporary disabling circumstances such as being restricted in movement and/or confined to bed as when hospitalized.

This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code M62.58 and a single ICD9 code, 728.2 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
M62.552 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of muscle wasting and atrophy, not elsewhere classified, left thigh. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
Muscle atrophy is defined as a decrease in the mass of the muscle; it can be a partial or complete wasting away of muscle, and is most commonly experienced when persons suffer temporary disabling circumstances such as being restricted in movement and/or confined to bed as when hospitalized. When a muscle atrophies, this leads to muscle weakness, ...
When a muscle atrophies, this leads to muscle weakness, since the ability to exert force is related to mass. Modern medicine's understanding of the quick onset of muscle atrophy is a major factor behind the practice of getting hospitalized patients out of bed and moving about as active as possible as soon as is feasible, despite sutures, wounds, ...
