Motor neurone disease (MND) patients exhibit poor gait, balance, and postural control, all of which significantly increases their risk of falling. Falls are frequent in the MND population, and are associated with an increased burden of disease. The complex interplay of both motor and extramotor manifestations in this disease contributes to the ...

Essential facts Motor neurone disease describes a group of related diseases, affecting the neurones in the brain and spinal cord. Progressive, incurable and life-limiting, MND is rare, with about 1,100 people developing it each year in the UK and up to 5,000 people affected at any one time.

Postradiation Motor Neuron Syndrome
Archives of Neurology, 1976We report an unusual case of selective lower motor neuron syndrome (MNS) complicating whole neuraxis radiation therapy. Only three well-documented similar cases have been found in a thorough review of the literature. The syndrome has a stereotyped time course and is self-limited.

International Review of Neurobiology, 1999
Publisher Summary This chapter describes three sensory-to-motor reflexes and their associated central circuits and synapses. The uniquely identifiable neurons comprising these reflex circuits offer an excellent opportunity for investigating detailed molecular mechanisms underlying the development and operation of the central nervous system (CNS ...

Neurology, 1982
We describe a husband and wife with motor neuron disease. The woman had been ill for 10 years with predominantly upper motor neuron signs when her husband developed progressive muscular atrophy. This is the first known report of sporadic motor neuron disease occurring in both partners of a marriage.

Neurology, 1996
The last 5 years have witnessed a great outgrowth in the number of clinical trials testing neuronal growth factors as potential treatments in ALS. These attempts to prevent motor neuron degeneration in ALS with the use of growth factors have their basis in the profound abilities of these molecules to affect motor neuron survival in experimental animals

Reversible Motor Neuron Disease
European Neurology, 1993We investigated a 69-year-old male with a clinical syndrome resembling amyotrophic lateral sclerosis characterized by fasciculation, wasting of the limb muscles and increased deep tendon reflexes in the lower limbs. Electromyographic (EMG) studies showed abundant positive sharp waves and fibrillation potentials with decreased recruitment in the limbs ...

Motor neurons rely on motor proteins
Trends in Cell Biology, 2004The importance of active axonal transport to the neuron has been highlighted by the recent discoveries that mutations in microtubule motor proteins result in neurodegenerative diseases. Mutations affecting microtubule motor function have been shown to cause hereditary forms of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (type 2A), hereditary spastic paraplegia and ...

Journal of the Neurological Sciences, 2014
Allgrove syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterised by achalasia, alacrima, adrenal insufficiency, autonomic dysfunction and amyotrophy. The syndrome has been described in childhood and adult presentation, as in our case, is very rare.

Irish Journal of Medical Science, 1964
(1) A ten year old girl was admitted to hospital suffering from upper motor paralysis. (2) Consideration of the signs, symptoms and progress of the case indicates that this was a mild but extensive case of posterior poliomyelitis, restricted to the middle motor neurone, with which the upper motor neurone synapses.
