Differences in F-Wave Characteristics between Spinobulbar Muscular Atrophy and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
There is limited data on the differences in F-wave characteristics between spinobulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA) and lower motor neuron dominant (LMND) amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). We compared the parameters of F-waves recorded bilaterally from the median, ulnar, tibial, and deep peroneal nerves in 32 SBMA patients, 37 patients with LMND ALS, and 30 normal controls. The maximum F-wave amp...
متن کاملNeurophysiological Differences between Flail Arm Syndrome and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
There are many clinical features of flail arm syndrome (FAS) that are different from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), suggesting they are probably different entities. Studies on electrophysiological differences between them are limited at present, and still inconclusive. Therefore, we aimed to find clinical and neurophysiological differences between FAS and ALS. Eighteen healthy control sub...
متن کاملDiffusion-tensor MR imaging of corticospinal tract in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and progressive muscular atrophy.
PURPOSE To prospectively evaluate several diffusion-tensor magnetic resonance (MR) imaging indexes (mean diffusivity [MD], fractional anisotropy [FA], and eigenvalues) of corticospinal tract impairment in patients with progressive muscular atrophy (PMA) and patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). MATERIALS AND METHODS This study had institutional review board approval, and written ...
متن کاملCharacteristics of pain in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
BACKGROUND Pain is an often underestimated and neglected symptom in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). METHODS In a cross-sectional survey, 46 patients with ALS, 46 age- and gender matched population-based controls, and 23 diseased controls with myotonic dystrophy type 2 (DM2) were screened for occurrence, type, distribution, and treatment of pain and cramps. Data were collected with the us...
متن کاملDifferential motor neuron involvement in progressive muscular atrophy: a comparative study with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
OBJECTIVE Progressive muscular atrophy (PMA) is a clinical diagnosis characterised by progressive lower motor neuron (LMN) symptoms/signs with sporadic adult onset. It is unclear whether PMA is simply a clinical phenotype of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in which upper motor neuron (UMN) signs are undetectable. To elucidate the clinicopathological features of patients with clinically diag...
