AB Patients  who  present  with  weakness  may  be  left  with  marked  disability  unless  a  diagnosis  is  made  quickly.  The  motor  divisions  of  the  nervous  system  are  responsible  for  every  movement  a  person  makes.  Any  injury  to  the  motor  parts  will  have  a  direct  consequence  on  one’s  ability  to  perform  meaningful  motions.  Motor  disorders  can  cause  a  variety  of  weakness  patterns;  therefore,  it  is  important  for  the  reader  to  recognize  that  the  disorders  mentioned  in  this  chapter  are  not  restricted  to  a  specific  pattern  and  have  tremendous  overlap.  In  this  chapter,  readers  will  review  patterns  of  weakness  in  specific  motor  disorders  of  the  nervous  system.
