    This document compares myopathy and neuropathy, two conditions that cause weakness. Myopathy primarily causes proximal weakness and wasting before sensory loss, with normal reflexes initially. Neuropathy primarily causes distal weakness and wasting after sensory loss, with abnormal reflexes. The document also compares neurogenic claudication and vascular claudication.
