Amyotrophic refers to the condition characterized by the degeneration of motor neurons, leading to muscle weakness and atrophy. It is commonly associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects voluntary muscle control. The term "amyotrophic" itself comes from the Greek words "a" (no), "myo" (muscle), and "trophic" (nourishment), indicating a lack of muscle nourishment due to neuron damage.
