Lower Motor Neuron Dysfunction

Lower Motor Neuron Dysfunction is a neurological impairment characterized by the degeneration or malfunction of lower motor neurons in the anterior horn of the spinal cord or cranial nerve nuclei, resulting in muscle weakness, atrophy, fasciculations, and hyporeflexia due to disrupted efferent signaling from the central nervous system to skeletal muscles.
