What disease does Steven Hawking suffer from?
Stephen Hawking suffered from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease.

Hawking was diagnosed with ALS at a young age and lived with the disease for several decades.
What causes your muscle in your arm too shrink?
Muscle shrinkage, or muscle atrophy, can be caused by lack of use (such as immobilization or inactivity), nerve damage, malnutrition, aging, or certain medical conditions like ALS or muscular dystrophy. It can also occur as a result of a decrease in muscle protein synthesis or an increase in muscle protein breakdown.

How does a person get ALS?
We don't really know what causes ALS, but we do know that it can strike any adult at any time. While the usual age at onset is between 45 and 65, people as young as 17 have been diagnosed in the past. Between 5 and 10% of ALS cases are found in the same families, meaning that they are "familial", and are definitely linked genetically. But for the most part, diagnosis is sporadic and we don't know how it is caused.
