Abstract

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is associated with co-existing motor and cognitive impairment in almost half of the patients; however, the relationship between cognitive and motor functioning has rarely been studied in ALS. We hypothesized that impaired executive functioning would be linked to poor mobility in ALS patients.
