The muscles are affected because they stop working and get weaker. But that is not the cause of the illness. It is caused by a degeneration of the nerves that move the body, called motor neurons. When they lose their ability to tell the muscles to contract, the person becomes progressively less able to move their body parts until they are totally paralized and eventually die.
