This form is much less common than ALS or PBP. It can be inherited or sporadic. Progressive muscular atrophy mainly affects your lower motor neurons. Weakness usually starts in your hands and then spreads to other parts of the body. Your muscles get weak and may cramp. This disease can tur...
constipation, and urinary retention. Because pain is present in 46% to 56% of patients with dementia, the presence of pain is associated with increased BPSD. The past medical history should have a review for painful conditions (eg, neuropathy, osteoarthritis, peripheral vascular disease), and ca...

Monitoring could be improved ...
Frontotemporal dementia with motor neuron disease (FTD/MND or FTD-ALS). This is a combination of two disorders: bvFTD and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). ALS causes damage to the nerve cells that let you control your body movements. You may have symptoms of either disorder at first, bu...
Neurodegenerative 'overlap' syndrome: Clinical and pathological features of Parkinson's disease, motor neuron disease, and Alzheimer's disease Parkinson's disease (PD), Alzheimer's disease (AD), and motor neuron disease (MND) share epidemiological, clinical, and pathological features. Few studies hav...
Motor symptoms frequently accompany cognitive dysfunction in dementia disorders. They may occur in the later stages of the disease as in the case of primary dementing disorders such as Alzheimer disease, they may accompany cognitive dysfunction from the
MOTOR NEURON DISEASE The motor neuron diseases (or motor neuron diseases) (MND) are a group of neurological disorders that selectively affect motor neurons. Advertisements What is Cerebral Palsy. Cerebral – Brain Palsy – weakness, paralysis or lack of muscle control. Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a...
Introduction: Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are frequent in motor neuron disease (MND) patients, but clinical factors related to them are unknown. We describe differences in LUTS among MND phenotypes and their relationship with other clinical characteristics, including prognosis.Francisco Vazquez-...

Background: To explore carers' experiences of behavioural symptoms in Motor Neurone Disease (MND), before and after using the MiNDToolkit, a novel internet-based psychoeducational intervention to support management of behavioural symptoms (BehSymp) in MND. The study also investigated carers' views ...
