How does ALS disease progress?
With progression of ALS, daily activities become impossible as more motor neurons fail and the muscles they control become paralyzed. With an inability to move, the muscles waste away. Initial weakness in the limbs progresses to paralysis.

About ALS Disease
ALS or Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis is also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. It is an incurable fatal neuromuscular disease characterized by progressive muscle weakness, which results in paralysis. The disease attacks the nerve cells in the brain and in the spinal cord. Motor neurons, which control the movement of voluntary muscles, deteriorate and they eventually die. When the motor neurons die, the brain can then no longer initiate and control muscle movements. Because the muscles no longer receive the messages they need in order to function, they will gradually weaken and deteriorate.
