Can you believe it's already a month since we closed #WMS2023 and handed over the WMS flag to our Prague team ready for #WMS2024? Our next congress will take place from 8th-12th October 2024, with the Pre-Congress Teaching Course running on 7th and 8th. Save the date and we'll see you there!
World Muscle Society
Non-profit Organizations
A dynamic community that aims to promote, disseminate, and share all aspects of neuromuscular physiology & diseases
About us
The World Muscle Society is a dynamic community that aims to promote, disseminate, and share all aspects of neuromuscular physiology and diseases, from basic science to patient care. It encompasses a broad range of scientists and healthcare professionals who share outside the common interest for neuromuscular disorders the triple E values of the Society: Education, Enjoyment and Excitement. Education is an important aspect of the WMS, and we consider it a continuous process at all stages of career, as a shared right and duty. Neuromuscular Disorders, the official journal of the WMS, is published every month. Enjoyment reflects the friendly and positive atmosphere of the WMS. Since its foundation in 1995, a special emphasis has been put on networking events during the congress, during which, lifelong time friendship and important scientific projects have been initiated. Excitement reflects our common passion for the science and for patient care, our shared pleasure to meet, to share, to learn and to educate.

There have been so many opportunities to network and create new connections at #WMS2024. This year we had a day dedicated to sharing the experiences of people working in neuromuscular disorders across the world. It was an inspiring day and really highlighted the realities and challenges of caring for patients in countries where myology is still an emerging science.

How does it feel to be at #WMS2024? So far, pretty great! But don't take our word for it - these two delegates told us how they were feeling when they checked in yesterday.

Are you excited for #WMS2024? You should be. Here's a peak behind the scenes as we started our Pre-Congress Teaching Course and continued preparing to open the 28th annual, international Congress of the World Muscle Society.

Our Pre-Congress Teaching Course has started! We have 100 registered delegates attending in-person with more joining virtually. This morning, they are hearing from Benedikt Schoser on how to assess adults and Reghan Fohley on how to assess children before Anna Kostera-Pruszczyk talks about EMG and Neurography examination.
