The Theory of Everything is a 2014 biographical film starring Eddie Redmayne and Felicity Jones and directed by James Marsh. The film was adapted from the book “Travelling to Infinity: My Life with Stephen” by Jane Wilde Hawking. In the movie,

However this changed after he attended a lecture based on black holes where he was inspired to prove that with a single equation, time had a beginning. It could be seen from the beginning of the movie, that Stephen had a glitch in his speech, gross and fine motor skills and as he was rushing to let his professor know that he had solved his theory, he stumbled and fell hitting his head on the sidewalk. Upon admission to the hospital, Stephen was diagnosed with ALS and was expected to live for only two years. His diagnosis however did not stop Jane from loving him nor did it stop him from continuing his research. The two eventually got married and started a family and Stephen’s theory was proven right and he was awarded his Doctorate degree based on his revolutionary research based on time. Shortly thereafter, he became dependent on a wheelchair as his mobility was severely hampered. As his disabilities increased so too did his fame.

The neurological exam will assess motor and sensory skills, hearing and speech, vision, nerve function, balance and coordination, mental status and changes in mood or behavior. Also, an electromyography (EMG) is used to diagnose disorders of the lower motor neurons, as well as disorders of muscle and peripheral nerves and laboratories can test the blood, urine or other substances to rule out if the person has ALS. Magnetic resonance imaging are also extremely powerful as the magnetic field is used to produce detailed images of tissues, organs, bones and nerves. MRI’s are often used to evaluate and solve disease that affect the head, neck and spinal cord. A muscle or nerve biopsy can also confirm a nerve disease and lastly, electrodes tapes to different areas of the body pick up and record electrical activity in the muscles which helps in diagnosing upper motor neural dysfunction in
