Neurodegenerative disorders
Neurodegenerative diseases/disorders(NDD) are disorders characterized by specific dysfunction and degeneration of neurons, neural networks, and glial cells comprising the nervous system. This includes motor deficits(ataxias), cognitive impairments(dementia), and other compromised mobility, respiration, and speech functions. NDD is incurable, and these conditions exert a substantial practical and emotional burden on affected individuals and their families.
Neuromuscular disorders
Neuromuscular disorders include conditions impacting the peripheral nervous system. These conditions lead to progressive muscle weakness. These can be inherited or acquired, often exhibiting a progressive nature resulting in fatigue and weakness. Onset may occur at birth, during childhood, or in adulthood.
