Other presenting symptoms include trouble swallowing or breathing, cramping, or stiffness of affected muscles; muscle weakness affecting an arm or a leg; or slurred and nasal speech. The parts of the body affected by early symptoms of ALS depend on which motor neurons in the body are damaged first.<a href="#cite_note-33">[33]</a> In limb-onset ALS, the first symptoms are in the arms or the legs. If the legs are affected first, people may experience awkwardness, tripping, or stumbling when walking or running; this is often marked by walking with a "<a href="/wiki/Foot_drop" title="Foot drop">dropped foot</a>" that drags gently on the ground. If the arms are affected first, they may experience difficulty with tasks requiring manual dexterity, such as buttoning a shirt, writing, or turning a key in a lock.<a href="#cite_note-34">[34]</a> In bulbar-onset ALS, the first symptoms are difficulty speaking or swallowing. Speech may become slurred, nasal in character, or quieter. There may be difficulty with swallowing and loss of tongue mobility. A smaller proportion of people experience "respiratory-onset" ALS, where the <a href="/wiki/Intercostal_muscle" class="mw-redirect" title="Intercostal muscle">intercostal muscles</a> that support breathing are affected first.<a href="#cite_note-Lancet2011-18">[18]</a> Over time, people experience increasing difficulty moving, swallowing (<a href="/wiki/Dysphagia" title="Dysphagia">dysphagia</a>), and speaking or forming words (<a href="/wiki/Dysarthria" title="Dysarthria">dysarthria</a>).

For example, symptoms starting in one arm usually spread next to either the opposite arm or to the leg on the same side.<a href="#cite_note-Cold_Spring_Harbor_2017-23">[23]</a> Bulbar-onset patients most typically get their next symptoms in their arms rather than legs, arm-onset patients typically spreads to the legs before the bulbar region, and leg-onset patients typically spread to the arms rather than the bulbar region.<a href="#cite_note-36">[36]</a> Over time, regardless of where symptoms began, most people eventually lose the ability to walk or use their hands and arms independently. Less consistently, they may lose the ability to speak and to swallow food.
