Muscle wasting or atrophy is usually caused by not being able to regularly exercise your muscles. Your inability to move may be be due to an injury or an underlying health condition.
How long it takes to will depend on the amount of atrophy that occurred and your physical condition beforehand. It will take at least two weeks of physical therapy before you start to feel a difference in your muscles. It can take several months of physical therapy for muscle size and strength to be fully restored.
Overview. Muscular dystrophy is a group of diseases that cause progressive weakness and loss of muscle mass. In muscular dystrophy, abnormal genes (mutations) interfere with the production of proteins needed to form healthy muscle. There are many kinds of muscular dystrophy.
Your inability to move may be be due to an injury or an underlying health condition. Muscle atrophy can often be reversed through regular exercise and proper nutrition in addition to getting treatment for the condition that's causing it.

If you take a few weeks off from exercising, your muscle strength won't take much of a hit. We know that skeletal muscular strength stays about the same during a month of not exercising. However, as mentioned above, athletes can start losing muscles after three weeks of inactivity.
Depending on the cause, atrophy may occur in one muscle, a group of muscles, or the entire body, and it may be accompanied by numbness, pain or swelling, as well as other types of neuromuscular or skin symptoms.
