To diagnose Lou Gehrig's disease, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), doctors typically perform a combination of neurological examinations, electromyography (EMG), and nerve conduction studies. These tests help assess muscle function and electrical activity in the muscles. Additionally, MRI scans may be used to rule out other conditions, but there is no single definitive test for ALS. Diagnosis is often based on clinical criteria and the exclusion of other potential diseases.
