[Pathophysiology of dystonia].
Dystonia is a diverse movement disorder characterized by involuntary muscle co-contraction of the agonist and antagonist, which may cause twisting and repetitive movements or abnormal posture. Dystonia is the least understood movement disorder associated with the basal ganglia dysfunction. While dysfunction of cortico-striatal-thalamo-cortical motor circuits is likely to play a fundamental role...
متن کامل[Pathophysiology in dystonia: functional anatomy of basal ganglia].
Clinical manifestation of dystonia features involuntary muscle contraction or spasm resulting in postural and movement disorders. Depending on the distribution and spreading pattern of dystonia, four patterns have been described, including focal, segmental, multifocal and generalized dystonia. Dystonia can be seen as one of additional clinical features in a more severe neurologic condition. Mos...
متن کاملThe pathophysiology of primary dystonia.
Co-contraction and overflow of EMG activity of inappropriate muscles are typical features of all dystonic movements whether voluntary or involuntary. Voluntary movements are slow and more variable than normal, and there is particular difficulty switching between component movements of a complex task. Reduced spinal cord and brainstem inhibition is common to many reflex studies (long-latency ref...
متن کاملthe effect of functional/notional approach on the proficiency level of efl learners and its evaluation through functional test
in fact, this study focused on the following questions: 1. is there any difference between the effect of functional/notional approach and the structural approaches to language teaching on the proficiency test of efl learners? 2. can a rather innovative language test referred to as "functional test" ge devised so so to measure the proficiency test of efl learners, and thus be as much reliable an...
15 صفحه اولDystonia Pathophysiology: A Critical Review
During the past years, dramatic progress have been achieved in our knowledge of the pathophysiology of dystonia on the basis of imaging and electrophysiological data collected in human patients. Converging arguments now support the role of combined corticostriatal and cerebellar dysfunctions in the genesis of this movement disorder (1). Several excellent reviews have been recently proposed on t...
