Loss of strength refers to a reduction in one's ability to exert force with their muscles. This can negatively impact day-to-day function and quality of life. Causes for loss of strength are varied but often involve nerve damage, musculoskeletal injuries, or hormonal changes. Nerve damage reducing signals between brain and muscle is a common culprit. This may occur from injury, chronic diseases, or the natural aging process. Musculoskeletal injuries, such as fractures, strains, sprains can lead to immobilization and loss of strength. As they heal, muscles waste away and weaken. Hormonal changes, particularly low testosterone or growth hormone in men, contributes as well. These anabolic hormones stimulate muscle growth and maintenance. With declining levels, muscle mass and strength is lost. This frequently occurs in middle age and beyond.
