A member asked:
Can you have a motor neurone disease with normal reflexes and a normal neurological exam such as the arm and leg strength the dr performs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NO: Motor neuron disease causes muscle weakness, atrophy, and alteration of reflexes. Have you been told you have such a disorder, or does it run in your family?
