Motor neuron diseases are neurological disorders that affect the nerves in the brain and spinal cord. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is the most common adult-onset motor neuron disease, affecting both upper and lower motor neurons, resulting in profound muscle weakness and debility. This activity describes the findings of nerve conduction tests and needle electromyography, the indispensable role these findings serve in confirming a diagnosis of ALS, and the importance of an interdisciplinary team approach in treating this condition.
