Abstract: Neuromotor or motor neuron disabilities (MND) are a set of medical conditions that are incurable and come with a bunch of associated problems. The disease affects the individual motor neuron functioning that can be in the whole body or any specific part of the body. The disability could be the result of improper communication between motor neurons and muscle fibre. In this review paper, we study and enumerate different neuromotor disabilities, and related treatments available till date. Although several interventions have been proposed for rehabilitation of such patients, accurate and reliable methods still need to be researched for improvement in the patient's condition.

Keywords: motor neuron disease; rehabilitation; muscle fibre.
