Practical information

ALS rehabilitation questions

Is strengthening always part of ALS therapy?

Not automatically. Activity is selected and dosed according to current strength, fatigue, symptoms, respiratory considerations, and medical guidance.

Can caregivers participate?

Yes. Training may include positioning, transfers, equipment, and ways to assist while protecting both the patient and caregiver.

Can the plan change over time?

Yes. Reassessment is important because mobility, equipment, communication, and caregiver needs may change.
