Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. It is a progressive, rarely occurring neurological disease that mainly involves the nerve cells (neurons) which are responsible for controlling voluntary muscle movements. With time, it leads to muscle weakness, gradually affecting the functions of the body.
2. • Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is also known as Lou
Gehrig’s disease. It is a progressive, rarely occurring
neurological disease that mainly involves the nerve cells
(neurons) which are responsible for controlling voluntary
muscle movements. With time, it leads to muscle weakness,
gradually affecting the functions of the body.
• Voluntary muscles produce movements like chewing,
breathing, talking, and walking.
• Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis belongs to a wider group of
disorders called motor neuron diseases that are caused by
gradual degeneration and death of motor neurons.
• As ALS progresses, these motor neurons tend to degenerate
and die, ceasing to send signals to muscles, which in turn
causes them to weaken.
• With disease progression, the brain’s ability to control
voluntary movement is lost.
• ALS greatly reduces an individual’s life expectancy with most
people dying within two to five years of diagnosis.
