Inclusion Body Myositis: A Case Report
Inclusion body myositis (IBM) is an autoimmune disease characterized by chronic inflammation and mainly muscular manifestations.This report details the case of a 71-year-old male presenting with gradual-onset muscle weakness in finger flexors and quadriceps, frequent falls, and muscle biopsy findings indicative of IBM. Due to a lack of curative treatments, the patient's management focuses on supportive care, physical therapy, and mobility aids to mitigate disease progression and reduce fall risk.
