Resumen: Las enfermedades neuromusculares son un grupo heterogéneo de patologías consideradas raras, que en su conjunto afectan a un grupo importante de la población.Las manifestaciones clínicas son variadas según la enfermedad con compromiso de distintos sistemas, muchas veces graves y generadoras de discapacidad, que pueden llevar a la muerte. Los avances terapéuticos en los últimos años han cambiado la evolución natural de algunas de estas enfermedades mejorando la expectativa de vida. A esto se suma el abordaje por equipo multidisciplinario, con intervenciones terapéuticas basadas en consensos internacionales, identificando precozmente y previniendo complicaciones potencialmente modificables. Esto representa un desafío para los equipos de salud, especialmente para el equipo de rehabilitación para mejorar la calidad de vida del enfermo y su familia promoviendo la inclusión escolar, laboral y social. En este artículo se realiza una revisión sobre aspectos respiratorios, nutricionales, cardiológicos y del abordaje de rehabilitación de estas enfermedades. Abstract: Neuromuscular diseases are a relatively rare and heterogeneous group of disorders that, as a whole, affect a significant part of the population. The spectrum of signs and symptoms vary with involvement of different organs leading to disability and sometimes death. Recent therapeutic developments changed the course of the disease and prolonged patient's survival. In addition, multidisciplinary groups participate in the treatment of these patients, applying international approved methodologies, for the early identification and prevention of potential complications. Responding to these advances represent a challenge for therapy-intervention-groups, and in particular rehabilitation teams. These aims should be met to improve the lifestyle of patients and relatives by promoting effective education, enhance work possibilities and social integration. In this article we review respiratory, nutritional, cardiology and rehabilitation strategies.
