Lending service of aid goods for mobility and communication to patients with Amyotrofic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)
ALS Mobility & Digitalk is a division of ALS Liga Belgium, a patient organisation for people with ALS, an incurable and lethal neuromuscular disease. The progressive illness is characterised by the selective dead of motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord. The loss of innervation to the muscles results in power loss and paralysis of the limbs. Also the respiratory, swallowing, chewing and speech muscles become affected. The intellectual capacity and senses are preserved, making the disease emotionally stressful and confronting for both the patient and the environment.
