Central motor pathways in patients with mirror movements.
Central motor pathways were investigated in three patients with congenital mirror movements using magnetic motor cortex stimulation. Response thresholds, amplitudes and latencies were normal. The projection of the corticomotoneuronal pathways was assessed by placing the coil over the vertex and comparing the size of responses in the first dorsal interosseous (FDI) muscles evoked by anticlockwis...
متن کاملRole of the ipsilateral motor cortex in mirror movements.
The mechanism of mirror movements in two patients was investigated; one with congenital mirror movement, the other with schizencephaly. Transcranial magnetic stimulation on one side elicited motor evoked potentials (MEPs) in their thenar muscles on both sides with almost the same latencies, minimal thresholds, and cortical topographies. During voluntary contraction of the thenar muscle on one s...

Background: Stroke is one of the major causes of disability. Therefore, it is important to introduce and develop new treatment approaches in order to improve and enhance post stroke recovery process for medical, social and economical purposes. Aim: To determine the effect of mirror therapy on motor ability of patients with stroke. Methods: This Randomized Controlled Trial was conducted on 38 pa...
متن کاملMirror Movements Identified in Patients with Moebius Syndrome
BACKGROUND Moebius syndrome is a rare disorder with minimum clinical criteria of congenital facial weakness in association with impairment in abduction of one or both eyes. Mirror movements are not known to be associated with Moebius syndrome. CASE REPORT We present three patients who meet minimum criteria for a diagnosis of Moebius syndrome and who also display mirror movements. DISCUSSION...
متن کاملMirror movements in neurology.
E xamination of patients for the presence or absence of mirror movements does not normally form part of a routine neurological investigation nor is this simple part of the motor examination normally taught to medical students and trainee neurologists. The examination requires the examiner only to observe both hands during voluntary fine finger movements of each hand in turn; for example, sequen...
