Motor neuropathy

Clinic

• Motor Neuropathy is an entity which occurs if the motor nerves which control muscle movements become damaged.
• As with sensory neuropathy, the parts of the body most likely to be affected are the feet, hands, legs and arms.
• It arises from disease processes affecting the motor axon and/or its surrounding myelin, however Lower motor neuron syndrome (LMNS) arises from a disease process affecting the spinal motor neuron itself.
