Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), often referred to as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a neurodegenerative disorder that damages motor neurons. It is characterized by progressive weakness of voluntary muscles that control movement, swallowing, speech, and breathing, which eventually lead to paralysis. In later stages of ALS, cognitive and behavioral impairment may also manifest with death by respiratory failure typically occurring within 3-5 years of onset.
