ALS (Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord causing loss of muscle control. Gradually patients lose control of all their muscles including the ability to speak, eat, and breathe without the aid of a respiratory system.
