Motor neuron disease is a progressive, irreversible neurological disorder that damages the neurons responsible for movement. As these neurons deteriorate, patients gradually lose the ability to walk, speak, swallow, and eventually breathe.
Among all types of MND, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is the most common and aggressive, often progressing rapidly and severely affecting a patient's independence and quality of life.
Common Symptoms of MND
Progressive muscle weakness and atrophy
Muscle stiffness, cramps, and fasciculations
Difficulty speaking (dysarthria)
Trouble swallowing (dysphagia)
Shortness of breath, especially at night
Fatigue and severe decrease in mobility
Emotional changes due to neural degeneration
Note: As the disease advances, the impact extends beyond the body—affecting dignity, family life, and emotional well-being. Early intervention is crucial to slow progression and maintain function for as long as possible.
