Lou Gehrig’s Disease Care Laguna Woods, CA | Elder Care

Lou Gehrig’s Disease is a progressive, neurodegenerative disease that affects the motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord responsible for voluntary muscle action. As the motor neurons degenerate, muscle functioning is lost because the brain can no longer initiate signals to the spinal cord, and from the spinal cord to the muscles. Eventually, the individual may become completely paralyzed.
