Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add turkey legs (only a couple at a time-- don't crowd them in the pan) and brown lightly on all sides. Transfer turkey legs to a large casserole dish or baking pan (4-6 quart capacity). Add onions and garlic to the hot oil already in the skillet. Cook until softened.
Overview. Degenerative muscle diseases cause progressive damage and loss of muscle cells with associated weakness. There are many types of degenerative muscle diseases, and they act in different ways to cause loss of functional muscle mass.egenerative muscle diseases that affect the muscles of the mouth and throat typically cause speech, chewing and swallowing difficulties. The Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of America notes that these symptoms are common with myasthenia gravis.
This is a degenerative condition that affects motor neurons, namely the anterior horn cells of the spinal cord and the motor cranial nuclei. It causes lower motor neurone (LMN) and upper motor neurone (UMN) dysfunction, leading to a mixed UMN/LMN picture of muscular paralysis, usually with LMN signs predominating. Progressive muscular atrophy-this is an uncommon form of MND. 2  The small muscles of the hands and feet are usually first affected, but muscle spasticity is absent. 3  Primary lateral sclerosis-this is another rare type of MND. 4  It mainly causes weakness in the leg muscles.
