1. Results from contusions or shearing injuries and may develop severaldays after injury.:
secondary injury
2. Diagnosis is often delayed due to lack of a definitive test: multiple sclerosis
3. Also known as Lou Gehrig disease; involves muscle wasting and degen- erative changes
in both upper and lower motor neurons.: amyotrophic lateralsclerosis

degenerative changes in the basal nuclei.: Parkinson's disease
