🧠 **Understanding Upper Motor Neuron (UMN) vs. Lower Motor Neuron (LMN) Lesions** 🧠 As healthcare professionals, distinguishing between upper and lower motor neuron lesions is critical for accurate diagnosis and treatment. Let's break it down: 🔹 **Upper Motor Neuron Lesions (UMN):** - **Origin:** UMN lesions occur in the brain or spinal cord (above the anterior horn). - **Symptoms:** Spasticity, hyperreflexia, and a positive Babinski sign. Muscle weakness is present, but often without significant atrophy. - **Examples:** Stroke, multiple sclerosis, and traumatic brain injury. 🔹 **Lower Motor Neuron Lesions (LMN):** - **Origin:** LMN lesions occur at or below the anterior horn cells in the spinal cord, affecting the nerve roots, plexuses, or peripheral nerves. - **Symptoms:** Flaccid paralysis, hyporeflexia, muscle atrophy, and fasciculations. Weakness is more pronounced with rapid muscle wasting. - **Examples:** Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Guillain-Barré syndrome, and peripheral neuropathy. Understanding these differences is essential for forming accurate diagnoses and developing effective treatment plans. Whether you're in neurology, rehabilitation, or primary care, recognising the signs can make all the difference. #Neurology #Healthcare #MedicalEducation #UMN #LMN #ClinicalPractice #Neuroscience #primarycare
