Motor Neuron Disease awareness

About this courses

Motor Neuron Disease (MND) is a progressive neurological condition where the nerve cells controlling muscles weaken and die, leading to the gradual loss of voluntary movement.

This can impact mobility, speech, swallowing, and breathing, with patients often facing symptoms like muscle cramps, stiffness, fatigue, and emotional challenges including anxiety and depression.

Early diagnosis is crucial—and healthcare professionals are essential in guiding care through specialists such as neurologists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and speech-language pathologists.

Supportive tools, including mobility aids, communication devices, and non-invasive ventilators, can significantly improve comfort and quality of life. Palliative care focuses on managing symptoms and providing compassionate, patient-centered support.
