MrOwl Community

Causes, symptoms, diagnostic procedures and criteria, treatments and prognoses for Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease, a neurological condition in which nerve cells that control voluntary muscles die.

ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) - Healthline

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a degenerative disease that affects the brain and spinal cord. ALS is a chronic disorder that causes a loss of control of voluntary muscles. The nerves controlling speech, swallowing, and limb movements are often affected. Unfortunately, a cure has not yet been found for it.

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), Topic Overview - WebMD

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, is a disease in which certain nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord slowly die.

NINDS Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) Information Page

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), sometimes called Lou Gehrig's disease or classical motor neuron disease, is a rapidly progressive, invariably fatal neurological disease that attacks the nerve cells (neurons) responsible for controlling voluntary muscles.

Symptoms and Diagnosis - The ALS Association

The initial symptoms of ALS can be quite varied in different people. One person may have trouble grasping a pen or lifting a coffee cup, while another person may experience a change in vocal pitch when speaking. ALS is typically a disease that involves a gradual onset.

The ALS Association

ALS, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. A-myo-trophic comes from the Greek language. "A" means no. "Myo" refers to muscle, and "Trophic" means nourishment - "No muscle nourishment." When a muscle has no nourishment, it "atrophies" or wastes away. Learn more here.

ALS - Muscular Dystrophy Association

The freedom to walk, to talk, to run and play. To laugh, to hug. To eat. To breathe. Each day across the country, ALS takes away these everyday freedoms - from mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers, daughters and sons, and from our friends and community members. With our partners and supporters, MDA fights to free people and their families from the devastating effects of ALS, so they can live life to the fullest.
