Functionally relevant muscles innervated: upper trapezius, diaphragm, cervical
para-spinal muscles.
Movement possible: neck flexion, extension, rotation, scapular elevation,
inspiration.
Patterns of weakness: paralysis of trunk, UE, LE, inability to cough, endurance
and respiratory reserve low secondary to paralysis of intercostals.

Diagnosis of MS - most commonly diagnosed neurodegenerative
disease
- MRI
- 15-50 years old
- women 2-3x more likely
- unknown cause
Axonal Transection axons permanently destroyed and lose all potential
for conduction; inflammation occurs
Demyelination axons may remyelinate and provide conduction of
nerve impulses; inflammation occurs
Signs of MS weakness
hyperreflexia
positive Babinski sign
Dysmetria
Nystagmus
Impaired vibratory or position sensation
Types of MS 1. Relapsing-remitting
2. Secondary-progressive
3. Primary-progressive
4. Progressive-relapsing
Relapsing-Remitting MS -most common form of MS (80%)
-produces clearly defined relapses of acute
worsening fo neurological function followed by
partial or complete improvement, then stable
periods of remission btwn attacks
, Secondary Progressive MS initial relapsing-remitting MS for 10-15 years
- suddenly begins to have decline without periods
of remission
- typically diagnosed wehen there is continued
neurological deterioration
Primary Progressive MS continuous declining neurological function from
onset
Progressive-Relapsing MS -much less common
-continuted disease progression with superimposed
relapses
Symptoms of MS fatigue
weakness
cognition
pain
spasticity
tremors & ataxia
dysphagia
vision
ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) - fatal degenerative disease of the motor neurons
marked by muscle weakness and atrophy
- UMNs & LMNs affected
UMN symptoms general weakness
spasticity
hyperreflexia
LMN symptoms weakness
atrophy
fasiculations
loss of reflexes
speech, swallowing, breathing impairments
Avg onset of ALS? 58 years old
more common in men than women
