Abstract

Objective. To attempt the engaged professionals of health with the physical rehabilitation, about the existing risks in the treatment of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in what concerns to the extreme use or the atrophy for disuse. Method. They were researched the articles in the period of 1958 to 2006 located in the databases Bireme, SciELO, Pubmed, Lilacs, by means of the following keywords: amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Neuromuscular disease, fatigue, muscular weakness, physical activity, rehabilitation, physiotherapy. Results. The treatment of ALS aims at the prevention of the fatigue and the damages by excessive use, besides optimizing independence and of the functional capacity, through moderate exercises, stretching, adaptive equipments and physiotherapy respiratory. Conclusion. Although they have not many intervention studies involving exercises for improve strength in individuals with ALS due to the course variable and the bulbar involvement, the physical therapist, upon proposing programs with such purpose, should utilize exercises in submaximal levels in the hope attenuate the loss of force, considering the prevention of the excessive use and of the atrophy for disuse and attempting always for the adequate management
