motor neuron disease
group of neurological disorders affecting motor neurons
Split hand syndrome
Neurological syndrome involving wasting of part of the hand
Lower motor neuron lesion
medical condition
Juvenile primary lateral sclerosis
medical condition
progressive bulbar palsy
human disease
amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
rare neurodegenerative disease with amyotrophy and progressive paralysis
progressive muscular atrophy
rare, milder form of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. It is characterized by a slowly progressive clinical course. Signs and symptoms include muscle weakness, atrophy, and fasciculation
spinal muscular atrophies
group of diseases
spinal muscular atrophy
rare congenital neuromuscular disorder
infantile-onset ascending hereditary spastic paralysis
Infantile-onset ascending hereditary spastic paralysis (IAHSP) is a very rare motor neuron disease characterized by severe spasticity of the lower limbs in early life, progression of spasticity to the upper limbs in late childhood, and dysarthria
upper motor neuron lesion
occurs in the neural pathway above the anterior horn cell of the spinal cord or motor nuclei of the cranial nerves
lateral sclerosis
motor neuron disease characterized by painless but progressive weakness and stiffness of the muscles of the legs
Distal hereditary motor neuropathies
Human disease
Madras motor neuron disease
Madras motor neuron disease (MMND) is characterized by weakness and atrophy of limbs, multiple lower cranial nerve palsies and sensorineural hearing loss
