Loss of strength is when muscles weaken and a person can no longer move as well or lift/carry as much weight as before. This happens gradually over time or suddenly after an injury or illness.
Some key reasons for losing strength are:
- Aging - Muscle fibers shrink and die off. After 30, adults lose 3-5% muscle mass per decade. This accelerates after 60 years old.
- Injuries that damage muscles, tendons or nerves. Common examples are rotator cuff tears, ACL knee injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome in the wrist, tennis elbow, etc. These often require surgery and physiotherapy.
- Illnesses like cancer, heart disease, arthritis, diabetes etc. These restrict activity/movement leading to loss of strength. Medications can also cause muscle weakness.
Symptoms of dropping strength levels are:
- Struggling to open jars or lift grocery bags
- Difficulty climbing stairs, getting out of baths or rising from chairs
- Poor balance and falling frequently
- Feeling tired doing routine chores like vacuuming
