Disuse syndrome refers to a set of physical and psychological problems that arise from prolonged inactivity or lack of use of the body's systems, particularly muscles and bones. This condition can occur in individuals who are bedridden, sedentary, or immobilized for extended periods, leading to muscle atrophy, decreased bone density, and overall functional decline. Symptoms may include weakness, stiffness, and loss of coordination, impacting a person's ability to perform daily activities. Preventive measures often include physical therapy and regular movement to maintain strength and mobility.

No matter how many mice he cut the tail off of, the babies were born with a tail. His experiment proved that the law of use and disuse was false.
