Abstract: Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal degenerative disease that affects upper and lower neurons and takes approximately two to four years between the first sign and symptoms to death. The aim of the present study is to present the main interventions used in physical rehabilitation and their results in patients with ALS. The therapeutic exercises should be prescribed with the objective to improve the patient's quality of life and enhance the performance during basic and instrumental daily activities. The professionals involved in physical rehabilitation should aid patients and caregivers to overcome their difficulties, especially those related to voluntary motor impairments.
