Although I continue to rely on a rollator to help me walk inside the house and a mobility scooter when I’m out and about, getting the power wheelchair was a strategic, planning-ahead decision. I live ...

Study examines Qalsody safety after approval “This study is the first to systematically conduct a post-marketing [safety] ...

ALS is linked to toxic TDP-43 protein clumps. A new strategy targets a specific protein region. A small molecule, XL20, prevents clumping, reducing nerve damage in human cells. XL20 extended survival ...

Neuralink tested a brain implant approach that threads electrodes through the dura without cutting it open. The company says ...

A self-balancing robotic exoskeleton was found safe and feasible for ALS patients with gait impairment. It helps patients practice walking hands-free, improving mobility, posture, and well-being.

A less invasive brain-computer interface is being developed to help people with impaired speech, including ALS, communicate.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive tool that uses a magnetic field along with radio waves to produce detailed images of the brain, spinal cord, or other body areas. Preliminary studies ...

A co-designed robotic glove restored grip and independent feeding for a man with severe ALS. The soft, wearable device uses inflatable cushions, controlled by residual muscle signals. This low-cost ...

Australian data links over 10% of ALS cases to known genetic mutations. The SALSA-SGC consortium collects data to understand ALS causes and progression. The project brings together seven major motor ...

I walked with our dog, Comet, on a trail in the woods behind our house. The woods felt cool out of the hot sun. Light filtered through the trees overhead as I breathed in the rich smell of summer ...

An expanded access program for Qalsody in ALS patients was feasible and well-tolerated. The program provided Qalsody to 11 ALS patients ineligible for trials. A mixed funding model, including ...

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurological disease that affects people differently, with ALS prognosis varying considerably from one person to another. The condition gradually ...
