Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or Lou Gehrig's disease, is a neurodegenerative disease that affects the motor neurons that drive voluntary movement. Those diagnosed with ALS experience difficulty moving and speaking and, as the condition worsens, difficulty swallowing and breathing. Beyond this definition, however, what do those affected by ALS need to know? What You Need to Know about ALS is a part of Greenwood's Inside Diseases and Disorders series. This series profiles a variety of physical and psychological conditions, and distills vast collections of scientific knowledge into concise, readable volumes. A list of "Top 10" essential questions begins each book, providing quick-access answers to readers' concerns. The text follows a standardized structure, with each chapter exploring a particular facet of the topic. In addition to covering causes, signs and symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options, books in this series delve into issues that are less commonly addressed but still critical to understand, such as effects on loved ones and caregivers. Case illustrations highlight key themes discussed in the book and are accompanied by insightful analyses and recommendations.

AlterEgo is a wearable, silent-speech device that is able to detect what word a user is attempting to say without discernible movement of the face or mouth. At it's current stage, the device can handle a vocabulary of about 10 words and this is enough to create usable applications for patients with speech impediments or speech loss. After thoroughly testing across a series of conditions with multiple patients per condition, we have found ALS to be the best suited condition for our system and a quick & urgent communication device to be its best application for this population. We present AlterEgo as a real-time, speech assistive technology and have made modifications so that ALS patients can effectively and independently use the device.

“Unsparing in her depiction of the disease’s harrowing effects, neuroscientist Genova also celebrates humanity.” —People “Sometimes it’s easier to tell truth in fiction…And she tells it with heart and hope.” —NPR “Her juxtaposition of scientific detail with compassionate, heartfelt storytelling is unparalleled.” —Bookreporter “Every Note Played will grip and gut you.” —The Boston Globe From neuroscientist and New York Times bestselling author of Still Alice comes a powerful exploration of regret, forgiveness, freedom, and what it means to be alive. An accomplished concert pianist, Richard received standing ovations from audiences all over the world in awe of his rare combination of emotional resonance and flawless technique. Every finger of his hands was a finely calibrated instrument, dancing across the keys and striking each note with exacting precision. That was eight months ago. Richard now has ALS, and his entire right arm is paralyzed. His fingers are impotent, still, devoid of possibility. The loss of his hand feels like a death, a loss of true love, a divorce—his divorce. He knows his left arm will go next. Three years ago, Karina removed their framed wedding picture from the living room wall and hung a mirror there instead. But she still hasn’t moved on. Karina is paralyzed by excuses and fear, stuck in an unfulfilling life as a piano teacher, afraid to pursue the path she abandoned as a young woman, blaming Richard and their failed marriage for all of it. When Richard becomes increasingly paralyzed and is no longer able to live on his own, Karina becomes his reluctant caretaker. As Richard’s muscles, voice, and breath fade, both he and Karina try to reconcile their past before it’s too late. Poignant and powerful, Every Note Played is a masterful exploration of redemption and what it means to find peace inside of forgiveness.

Concurrent with the well-documented motor speech production impairments in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), individuals with ALS exhibit language problems including confrontation and generative naming difficulties, single word auditory and reading comprehension problems, and decreased self-regulation based on fewer selfcorrected utterances, among other language disruptions. Health related quality of life (HRQoL) measures specific to ALS often contain items related to its characteristic speech production problems that are thought to influence overall quality of life. However, the language problems in ALS are rarely if ever considered within the context of HRQoL. The current study aimed to identify the relationship between language problems (i.e., quality of communication) and HRQoL among individuals with ALS. Twenty-eight participants with ALS completed a general HRQoL (i.e., SF-36) and a quality of communication measure (i.e., ASHA QCL). Scores on these measures were compared with standardized language test scores and discourse measures including verbal fluency, the Boston Naming Test (BNT), and discourse measures obtained from a picture description task. Participants also completed a cognitive status and depression screening using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) and the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS), respectively. The severity of ALS was measured using the ALS Functional Rating Scale. Results indicated that verbal fluency (animals), discourse output, and speech intelligibility are associated with quality of communication Regression analyses revealed important predictors of quality of communication including the BNT, MoCA, GDS, and speech intelligibility. The only significant predictor for general HRQol (i.e., SF-36) was the GDS. Results suggest that poor performance on standardized language tests may not be indicative of poor quality of communication, however, findings show that poor efficiency on discourse tasks does affect quality of communication. Results also show that depression in individuals with ALS is associated with poor HRQoL. Overall physical functioning does not significantly contribute to quality of communication or overall HRQoL. An important implication of the findings is that clinicians should focus on optimizing communication in those individuals with ALS who have poor speech intelligibility in order to optimize discourse output, which, in turn, may enhance the quality of communication in individuals with ALS who have poor speech intelligibility in order to optimize discourse output, which, in turn, may enhance the quality of communication in individuals with ALS.

AMYOTROPHIC LATERAL SCLEROSIS DEFINITION Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (a-mi-o-TROE-fik LAT-ur-ul skluh-ROE-sister), or ALS, is a sensory system (neurological) infection that causes muscle shortcoming and effects actual capacity. ALS is frequently called Lou Gehrig's illness, after the celebrated baseball player who was determined to have it. ALS is a sort of engine neuron infection that causes nerve cells to slowly separate and bite the dust. In the United States, ALS is now and again called engine neuron illness. Much of the time, specialists don't have a clue why ALS happens. Few cases are acquired. ALS frequently starts with muscle jerking and shortcoming in an arm or leg, or here and there with slurring of discourse. In the end, ALS can influence your capacity to control the muscles expected to move, talk, eat and relax. ALS can't be restored and ultimately prompts demise. Side effects Early signs and side effects of ALS include: Difficulty strolling Tripping or trouble doing your typical day by day exercises Shortcoming in your leg, feet or lower legs Hand shortcoming or ungainliness Slurring of discourse or inconvenience gulping Muscle spasms and jerking in your arms, shoulders and tongue Trouble holding your head up or keeping a decent stance The infection regularly starts in your grasp, feet or appendages, and afterward spreads to different pieces of your body. As the infection propels, your muscles become dynamically more fragile. This shortcoming at last influences biting, gulping, talking and relaxing. Be that as it may, ALS doesn't ordinarily influence your gut or bladder control, your faculties, or your reasoning capacity. It's feasible to remain effectively engaged with your loved ones. CAUSES In ALS, the nerve cells that control the development of your muscles continuously pass on, so your muscles dynamically debilitate and start to die. ALS is acquired in 5 to 10 percent of cases. Different cases seem to happen haphazardly. Scientists are contemplating a few potential reasons for ALS, including: 1. Gene transformation. Different hereditary transformations can prompt acquired ALS, which shows up almost indistinguishable from the noninherited structure. 2. Chemical unevenness. Individuals with ALS by and large have higher than typical degrees of glutamate, a synthetic courier in the mind, around the nerve cells in their spinal Fluid. An excess of glutamate is known to be harmful to some nerve cells. 3. Disorganized invulnerable reaction. At times an individual's invulnerable framework starts assaulting a portion of their body's own typical cells, which may prompt the passing of nerve cells. 4. Protein misusing. Misused proteins inside the nerve cells may prompt a continuous aggregation of strange types of these proteins in the cells, in the end making the nerve cells bite the dust. HAZARD FACTORS Set up hazard factors for ALS include: Heredity. Five to 10 percent of individuals with ALS acquired it (familial ALS). In the vast majority with familial ALS, their youngsters have a 50-50 shot at fostering the infection. Age. ALS most generally happens in individuals between the ages of 40 and 60. Sex. Before the age of 65, marginally a greater number of men than ladies foster ALS. This sex contrast vanishes after age 70. It could be that in certain individuals ALS, is set off by certain ecological variables.
