Causes Of Upper Motor Neuron Disease
A motor neuron is responsible for controlling our muscle movements. These upper motor neurons are located in the brain and the upper part of the spinal cord. The disease can cause these motor neurons to not function properly, which hinders muscle mobility as well as weakens the leg and arm muscles. Some of the common causes of upper motor neuron disease are.
Nutritional Deficiency
Nutritional deficiency is a very common cause of upper motor neuron disease. We often overlook the importance of having all the vital nutrients (especially Vitamin B12) in our body which might cause a disease in our motor neurons or nerve cells. Impairing our muscle movement and coordination.
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)
ALS is a disease that gets worse over time. It affects the nerves in your brain that control voluntary muscle movement, so you lose these motor neurons and have trouble moving or using muscles on purpose fully.
Stroke
A stroke can cause problems in the upper motor neuron. When the flow of blood oxygen to the brain gets cut off due to a rupture or damage to the blood vessels, it leads to a stroke which damages the tissue and nerve cells of the brain. A stroke can impair body muscle movement as well as facial muscle movement.
Progressive Bulbar Palsy (PBP)
PBP mainly hits the bulbar area causing problems with talking, swallowing food, and controlling facial muscles. This also leads to difficulties in moving facial muscles properly and making different expressions like smiling or frowning.
Primary Lateral Sclerosis (PLS)
PLS mainly aims at the top nerve cells or neurons, making muscles stiff and weak. It also causes problems with balance and coordination in motion.
Trauma
Physical trauma is also one of the major causes of upper motor neuron disease. A road accident or sports injury to the head can cause damage to the brain causing a lesion or disease to the upper motor nerve cell. Traumas such as accidents, usually impair muscle movements and cause weakness in the limbs.
