Red Flags for Motor Neurone Disease (screencast)

Motor neurone disease, with its most common form amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, is a group of progressive and fatal degenerative conditions of both upper and lower motor neurons. Incidence is 1.5 per 100,000 people per year, with a prevalence worldwide of 6 per 100,000. This screencast reminds all members of the primary care team of the most common symptoms and red flags to aid early diagnosis and referral.
