Quite obviously yes. If you don't use it you lose it simple as that.
NASA does experiments with people lying in bed for up to 3 months at a time, as a way to simulate the effect of weightlessness on astronauts. They say that the effects of 3 months in bed "aren't pretty", and the participants end up with muscle and even bone density loss.

What else can I help you with?
Can a pinched nerve cause muscle loss?
Yes, a pinched nerve can cause muscle loss. When a nerve is compressed, it can lead to reduced nerve signal transmission to the affected muscles, resulting in weakness and atrophy over time. This muscle loss occurs because the muscles are not receiving the necessary stimulation to maintain their size and function. Prompt treatment of the pinched nerve is essential to prevent long-term damage and muscle loss.
What is diuse atrophy?
diuse atrophy (muscle loss or weakness from lack of use)
Which illness has a symptom of Loss of muscle strength?
One illness that can cause loss of muscle strength is myasthenia gravis, which is a chronic autoimmune neuromuscular disease that impairs communication between nerves and muscles, leading to muscle weakness and fatigue.
What is musclular dystophy?
Muscular dystrophy is a group of inherited disorders that involve muscle weakness and loss of muscle tissue, which get worse over time.
What two conditions lead to muscle loss?
Muscle loss can occur due to disuse, often resulting from prolonged inactivity or immobilization, which leads to atrophy of muscle fibers. Additionally, age-related factors, such as sarcopenia, contribute to muscle loss as the body's ability to regenerate and maintain muscle mass declines over time. Chronic diseases and malnutrition can also exacerbate muscle wasting by impacting protein synthesis and overall energy balance.
What are the negative effects of taking barbiturates?
Barbiturates can cause Stevens-Johnson syndrome. Other negative effects include bone pain, tenderness, loss of appetite, muscle weakness and yellow eyes or skin.
What illness can inactivity cause in your life?
If you don't attack it, it gets worse.
What are the symptoms of congenital myopathy?
Congenital myopathy causes loss of muscle tone and muscle weakness in infancy and delayed motor skills, such as walking, later in childhood.
What condition is it when you have chronic worsening fatigue and muscle weakness loss of appetite weight loss because your adrenal gland do not produce enough cortisol?
Addison's Disease
If a person has Duchenne and Muscular Dystrophy how are the neurons affected?
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) primarily affects muscle fibers rather than neurons directly; however, the condition can lead to secondary effects on the nervous system. As muscle degeneration progresses, motor neurons may experience changes due to the loss of muscle input and altered signaling. Additionally, the overall physical inactivity and muscle weakness can impact motor neuron health over time, potentially leading to further complications in muscle control and coordination.
What is muscle atrophy?
Muscle atrophy is the loss of muscle mass and strength due to lack of use, injury, or other medical conditions. This can lead to decreased muscle function and weakness. Physical activity and proper nutrition are key to preventing muscle atrophy.
What are the characteristics of FDRA?
The disorder is characterized by unsteady gait, slurred speech, absent knee and ankle jerks, Babinski responses, loss of position and vibrations senses, leg muscle weakness, loss of leg muscle mass.
