4、cle movement.As motor neurons degenerate and die,they stop sending messages to the muscles,which causes the muscles to weaken,start to twitch(fasciculations),and waste away(atrophy).Eventually,the brain loses its ability to initiate and control voluntary movements.Some of the symptoms involved with
5、the disease include muscle twitching and cramps,tight and stiff muscles(spasticity)with weakness affecting an arm,a leg,the neck,or diaphragm and slurred/nasal speech.The patients may also develop problems with language or decision-making along with dementia over time.Stages of ALSThere are 4 stages
6、 in ALS:Stage 1-The Beginning-The muscles will become softer,appear to be weaker,or sometimes,they become tight and spastic.Stage 2-The Middle-The muscles of the affected areas will become paralyzed,and other muscles will seem stiff as if they were about to become paralyzed as well.Stage 3-The Late
