We're sorry, but the music is so intrusive we could barely tolerate the video and we came here to learn. You just might ponder changing your format.

UMN signs are spasticity, paresis and hyperreflexia
LMN signs are fasciculations and atrophy
they got the signs wrong-the rest are :)

The music is very annoying! Made it difficult to hear the speaker.

I think my husband has ALS - he has unexplained random muscle cramping in his legs and hands … he has an annoying cough after eating and his epiglottis is very lazier has been getting worse over the years since it began - and he is very tired - his muscles are sore - he walks into doors, always hurting himself. He will not get tested.

Poorly done clip - Seriously -
Between the music, and the girl speaking as if she's reading off a card makes this seem like I'm watching a TV commercial..
