Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Association

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrigs disease, is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord, leading to muscular atrophy, progressive loss of muscle control, paralysis, and death. This is a review of the ALS Association web site. The site continues to provide ALS patients and caregivers with current resources for managing life with ALS, and it provides researchers and health care professionals with access to evidence-based information on the latest scholarship and guidelines for the most effective therapies and treatments for ALS. The ALS Association web site remains an authoritative resource for anyone seeking quality information about ALS.
