Professor Stephen Hawking suffers from a degenerative motor neuron disease similar to ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease) which he has endured for about 50 years since the diagnosis. It has slowly progressed and weakened him; he is mostly paralyzed and is confined to a wheelchair, communicating by use of a synthetic voice generator.
