Motor neuron disease
Motor neuron diseases are progressive neurological conditions that destroy motor neurons that govern voluntary muscles. Muscle weakness, stiffness, and atrophy may impair mobility, speech, and respiration. Motor neuron illnesses include amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, primary lateral sclerosis, and spinal muscular atrophy.
Motor neuron diseases have an unknown etiology. Genetic mutations, environmental pollutants, viral infections, immunological reactions, and age-related neuronal alterations may cause these illnesses. Idiopathic motor neuron disease has no recognized etiology.
Motor neuron diseases may cause several consequences, depending on their kind and degree.
Motor neuron diseases may cause:
Respiratory issues: Weak breathing muscles may make breathing harder and raise the risk of respiratory infections.
Speaking and swallowing problems: Weak speaking and swallowing muscles may make eating and drinking difficult.
Mobility issues: Muscle weakness, stiffness, and atrophy may impair walking, standing, and balance.
Mental health issues: Motor neuron problems may cause anxiety, sadness, and isolation.
Malnutrition: Eating and swallowing problems might cause nutritional deficits.
Sleep disturbances: breathing and movement concerns might cause insomnia and other sleep disorders.
Immobility complications: Pressure sores, deep vein thrombosis, and other issues that might result from prolonged inactivity.
Neurotherapy for motor neuron diseases is tailored to each patient's lifestyle; therefore, results may vary. The treatment improves metabolism, digestion, calcium and vitamin absorption, and cell regeneration.
