Abstract

The article presents a case study of a 30-year-old woman who sought medical attention due to a constellation of symptoms including back pain, leg stiffness, and recurrent falls. It states that despite previous evaluations by specialists in neurology, rheumatology, and sports medicine, a definitive diagnosis remained elusive, prompting further investigation into potential peripheral nervous system disorders associated with muscle stiffness.
