Thirty unselected females with proven osteomalacia were evaluated clinically, electromyographically and histopathologically for muscle dysfunction. Clinical evidence of myopathy was found in all the patients except one; the electromyograms were abnormal in 25 of them, and histopathological abnormalities, although slight and nonspecific, were seen in all the 17 patients who underwent muscle biopsy. Electromyographic findings revealed a myopathic pattern as evidenced by a significant reduction in motor unit potential duration and amplitude, and an increased percentage polyphasicity as compared to the controls. There was a complete absence of denervation potentials. The histopathological abnormalities were nonspecific and slight, and consisted of fatty infiltration, interstitial fibrosis, sarcolemmal nuclear proliferation and variation in muscle fibre thickness. A statistically significant reduction in motor nerve conduction velocities of t h e ulnar and pcroneal nerves was found. I t was considered that this reduction in t h e velocities was due to subclinical neuropathy. Our data suggest that myopathy, neuropathy and osteomalacia in our patients are due to nutritional deficiencies of multiple vitamins.

“…This myopathy has been described in patients with end stage renal disease or malabsorption syndromes which are usually associated with severe vitamin D deficiency. The symptoms respond to treatment with vitamin D suggesting that vitamin D plays an etiological role (Ekbom et al, 1964;Smith and Stern, 1967).…”

“…The myopathy has been characterized by proximal muscle weakness, muscle wasting, and a waddling gait [3]. In early studies, symptoms were found to be responsive to treatment with vitamin D suggesting that vitamin D played an etiological role; however, the underlying mechanisms remained undefined [4,5]. In the last several decades, a growing number of clinical studies of the muscular effects of vitamin D supplementation and research on the vitamin D receptor in muscle cells have helped to improve our understanding of the role and actions of vitamin D in muscle tissue and on physical performance.…”

Purpose of review-Vitamin D is best known for its role in regulating calcium homeostasis and in strengthening bone. However, it has become increasingly clear that it also has important beneficial effects beyond the skeleton, including muscle. This review summarizes current knowledge about the role of vitamin D in skeletal muscle tissue and physical performance. Summary-Further studies are needed to fully characterize the underlying mechanisms of vitamin D action in human muscle tissue, to understand how these actions translate into changes in muscle cell morphology and improvements in physical performance, and to define the 25-hydroxyvitamin D level at which to achieve these beneficial effects in muscle.
