Lou Gehrig’s Caregivers for Seniors

Lou Gehrig’s disease is a motor neuron disease that is commonly referred to as ALS (Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis). This disorder causes atrophy and weakness through the body as motor neurons deteriorate. As a result, seniors, elders and adults suffering from ALS often need assistance as they lose the ability to control their movements. Initial symptoms can include:

Changes in motor control of arms and hands
Leg weakness
Muscle twitches and cramps (fasciculation)
Slurred speech (dysarthria)
Difficulty swallowing (dysphagia)
Shortness of breath
Fatigue
Pseudobulbar affect
