Hello,
My dad was told that there is a possibility that he has Als. And I hope it is not als. There are other diseases mimicing als....
All his test are good, but nerve conduction velocity test NCV. Is it common for Als patients to show abnormalities in NCV test????
Thank you for any information.
Irene.

NCV are meant to be "normal" in als, but if certain muscles are small (wasted) it will show as abnormal in als.

I hope you dad doesn't have als, good luck.
