Underappreciated Statin-Induced Myopathic Weakness Causes Disability
Neurorehabil Neural Repair 19:259-263, Dobkin,B.H., 2005
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Serial manual muscle testing after initiating a statin may detect a reversible cause of disability. A genetic predisposition to statin-induced myopathic proximal weakness with normal creatine kinase is consistent with a continuum of previously reported symptoms and signs but may be underappreciated.
