QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
A patient in the early stages of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) presents
with weakness in the thenar eminence. During which ADL task would the

Typical early signs of ALS are distal, with weakness of the small muscles of
the hand being the most typical initial symptom. The muscles that make up
the thenar eminence are responsible for opposition of the thumb. Squeezing
toothpaste and holding a toothbrush require grasp-and-pinch patterns that
involve thumb opposition.
