Medical Conditions - Motor Neuron Disease

Motor neuron disease, also called amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), is a progressive neurological disorder that affects the nerve cells present in the brain and spinal cord, resulting in muscle control loss. This disease usually starts as muscle twitching, limb weakness, and slurred speech. There is no cure for ALS, and in advanced stages, it can result in the loss of control of muscles needed to breathe, speak, move, and swallow.
