Abstract
The usage of lower limb and cervical orthosis is indispensable for maintaining ambulation and ADL in ALS patients. However, orthotic therapy for ALS patients has been underestimated for improving their QOL. We consider rationalization of medical support system to develop orthotic therapy in the early disease stage to be a key for the rehabilitation of progressive neurological disease including ALS.
