Abstract

Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) are marked by progressive muscle weakness and lasting disability. Therapies targeting patient well-being include the use of prescription drugs as well as exercise. Maintaining or increasing muscular strength and endurance as well as cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) improves quality of life (QoL) as well as functional status in IIM patients. This narrative review highlights exercise interventions in patients of different IIM subtypes with the intent to provide a summary table with exercise recommendations that will safely and effectively improve QoL in myositis patients.
