Types
Three types of MND are recognised but the distinction is somewhat artificial since most patients eventually develop features of all three:
- progressive muscular atrophy
- amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
- bulbar involvement - either:
- spastic: pseudobulbar palsy
- flaccid: bulbar palsy
- mixed: progressive bulbar palsy
