Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is often referred to as Lou Gehrig's disease. Lou Gehrig was an outstanding Hall of Fame baseball player with the New York Yankees in the 1920s and 1930s. His career ended because of ALS, which is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. Over time, the brain loses the ability to initiate and control muscle movement, which could lead to total paralysis.
