Calcium, Phosphorous, Magnesium and Iron in Motor Neuron Disease Cases

Abstract

Motor neuron diseases are characterized by selective damage to the neural system that mediate voluntary movement. The first abnormality is observed in the hands, where the patient become aware of weakness or clumsiness of movement of the fingers, weakness of shoulder movement, muscular cramps is often an early symptom.
