متن کاملLower Motor Neuron Findings after Upper Motor Neuron Injury: Insights from Postoperative Supplementary Motor Area Syndrome
Hypertonia and hyperreflexia are classically described responses to upper motor neuron injury. However, acute hypotonia and areflexia with motor deficit are hallmark findings after many central nervous system insults such as acute stroke and spinal shock. Historic theories to explain these contradictory findings have implicated a number of potential mechanisms mostly relying on the loss of desc...
متن کاملBeta-band intermuscular coherence: a novel biomarker of upper motor neuron dysfunction in motor neuron disease
In motor neuron disease, the focus of therapy is to prevent or slow neuronal degeneration with neuroprotective pharmacological agents; early diagnosis and treatment are thus essential. Incorporation of needle electromyographic evidence of lower motor neuron degeneration into diagnostic criteria has undoubtedly advanced diagnosis, but even earlier diagnosis might be possible by including tests o...
متن کاملEffects of Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy on Clinical and Neurophysiological Indices of Spasticity Inpatients With Upper Motor Neuron Lesions: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Objective: Spasticity is one of the components of an Upper Motor Neuron (UMN) lesion that occurs usually after a period of flaccidity in the form of velocity-dependent resistance to passive stretch. Spasticity is a significant cause of limited mobility and disability in neurological diseases. There are several clinical approaches to control spasticity. Recently, Shock Wave Therapy (SWT) has bee...
متن کاملNew hope for patients with pure lower motor neuron syndromes.
Motor neuron disease is still one of the most dramatic neurological conditions; it reflects a range of which one end encompasses patients with the bulbar form of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis who have dysarthria and dysphagia and have a dramatically shortened life expectancy. For patients with probable or definite motor neuron disease according to established criteria, the recent introduction o...
