He also made contributions in his research of poliomyelitis, claudication intermittens, and progressive muscular atrophy.

Also includes primary lateral sclerosis, progressive muscular atrophy and multifocal motor neuropathy.

The importance of correctly recognizing progressive muscular atrophy as opposed to ALS is important for several reasons.

Strümpell's wide-ranging research involved tabes dorsalis, spinal cord diseases, infantile paralysis, acromegalia, and progressive muscular atrophy.

On developing progressive muscular atrophy following a stroke his active involvement in the CUMS was left to Boris Ord (from 1936).

It can also occur in other disorders affecting the anterior horn, such as spinal muscular atrophy, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, poliomyelitis and progressive muscular atrophy.

In the United Kingdom, "motor neurone disease" (sometimes spelt as "motor neuron disease") refers both to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and to the broader spectrum of related motor neuron disorders that includes progressive muscular atrophy, primary lateral sclerosis, and progressive bulbar palsy.
