Funded Activity Summary

Motor Neurone Disease (MND) is a devastating disease that causes paralysis of muscles in the arms, legs, swallowing and respiration, causing marked disability. This project will investigate how these changes affect everyday abilities in MND, which will bring unique theoretical and practical contributions to date. On a theoretical level, it will contribute to a growing body of knowledge in MND. On a practical level, this project will lead to better care and support for patients and families.
