ABSTRACT
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a rare neurological disease that involves the degeneration of both upper and lower motor neurons responsible for controlling voluntary muscle activity. Most people with ALS die within 3-5 years due to respiratory failure. The current study presents the case of a 68-year-old woman diagnosed with ALS based on the subjective and objective findings from the patient's initial physiotherapy assessment and on neurophysiological tests. Physiotherapy interventions are aiming to maintain the patient's strength, balance and functional independence for as long as possible. The present case report aimed to highlight that a multidisciplinary team approach is necessary for the management of a progressive degenerative disease such as ALS.
