## Abstract On theoretical grounds, abnormalities of the motor cortex in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) could lead to anterograde (“dying‐forward”) transneuronal degeneration of the anterior horn cells as suggested by Charcot. Conversely, retrograde (“dying‐back”) degeneration of
The objective of this study was to examine the contribution of lower motor neuron (LMN) and upper motor neuron (UMN) dysfunction to weakness and impaired motor control in 27 patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Isometric strength was measured by dorsiflexor maximum voluntary contractio
