The early symptoms of ALS include muscle twitches in the arm, leg, shoulder, or tongue, muscle cramps, tight and stiff muscles (spasticity), muscle weakness affecting an arm, a leg, neck or diaphragm. Also, one may experience slurred and nasal speech and difficulty in chewing or swallowing. It has been observed that for many individuals the first sign of ALS may appear in the hand or arm which creates difficulty in doing simple tasks such as buttoning a shirt, writing, or turning a key in a lock. In other cases, symptoms initially affect one of the legs because of which people experience awkwardness while walking or running, or they notice that they are tripping or stumbling more often.

It is not possible for one test to provide a definitive diagnosis of ALS. ALS can be primarily diagnosed based on detailed history of the symptoms and signs observed by a physician during physical examination along with a series of tests such as Electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction study (NCS). EMG is a special recording technique that detects electrical activity of muscle fibers and the other is NCS, which measures electrical activity of the nerves and muscles.

About 5 to 10 percent of all ALS cases are familial, which means that an individual inherits the disease from his or her parents. The risk factors associated with ALS includes smoking and exposure to pesticides and insecticides. In one report it has been shown that service in the military can cause ALS. Researchers have suggested that exposure to toxins during warfare, or strenuous physical activity, are possible reasons because of which some veterans and athletes may be at increased risk of developing ALS.
