Symptom #3: Frequent Trips and Falls
In addition to having a hard time coordinating the actual movement of walking, people suffering from ALS are often prone to tripping and falling. This is one of the main reasons that people with the condition would do well to invest in a walker or a wheelchair.
Not only do people with the condition begin to lose their motor control, but they often have a hard time maintaining strength in their legs. This can lead to their legs ‘buckling,’ which can result in them falling over or tripping over small objects and curbs.
