Motor Neurone Disease
Motor neurone (or neuron) disease (MND), also called amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or Lou Gehrig's disease, is a rare, degenerative condition impacting the brain and nerves. Patients with MND often experience muscle weakness which becomes greater and more debilitating over time. While there is no cure for this disease, many of the symptoms can be managed to improve quality of life.
