Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)—also referred to as motor neurone disease (MND), is a neurodegenerative disease with various causes.

ALS is characterised by muscle spasticity, rapidly progressive weakness due to muscle atrophy, and difficulty in speaking (dysarthria), swallowing (dysphagia), and breathing (dyspnea). ALS is the most common of the five motor neuron diseases.
