Types of Neuromuscular Disorders

Neuromuscular disorders are conditions which affect the nerves that pass from the brain and spinal cord to the muscles. They also affect the muscles themselves, and the complex neuromuscular junction between each nerve and muscle (myasthenic conditions).

There are many variations of neuromuscular disorders, most of which require some level of homecare and support. Neuromuscular conditions are complex because they can affect both motor skills and cognition.

The types of neuromuscular disorders that our CareGivers can support include:

Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
Motor Neurone Disease
Spinal and Duchenne muscular dystrophy
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (or Lou Gehrig’s Disease)

Specialist care requirements may vary between different conditions and from person to person. That’s why we define personalised care plans for each individual, whatever their neuromuscular condition may be.
