Writers Cramp in Office Workers—an Epidemiologic and Psychosomatic Study
The study is aimed at investigating the occurrence of writers cramp in office workers, drawn from ten major offices of Kanpur to determine the nature and relationship of various emotional factors in the development of this disability. The observations on writers cramp cases were compared with a group of normal and diseased controls. Out of a surveyed population of 3,325 office workers, there we...
متن کاملSyllabic structures in typing: Evidence from hearing-impaired writers
This paper contributes to the ongoing controversy on the nature of syllabic structures in writing. Our evidence comes from a modified version of the continuous typing paradigm (e.g. Shaffer 1978) as proposed by Will et al. (submitted). Based on experiments on written word and nonword production, we show that, both prelingually hearing-impaired and hearing writers group their graphemic output in...
متن کاملIntermanual Differences in Movement-related Interhemispheric Inhibition
Interhemispheric inhibition (IHI) between motor cortical areas is thought to play a critical role in motor control and could influence manual dexterity. The purpose of this study was to investigate IHI preceding movements of the dominant and nondominant hands of healthy volunteers. Movement-related IHI was studied by means of a double-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation protocol in right-ha...
متن کاملNormal interhemispheric inhibition in persistent developmental stuttering.
Imaging studies suggest a right hemispheric (pre)motor overactivity in patients with persistent developmental stuttering (PDS). The interhemispheric inhibition (IHI) studied with transcranial magnetic stimulation is an established measure of the interplay between right and left motor areas. We assessed IHI in 15 young male adults with PDS and 15 age-matched fluent-speaking subjects. We addition...
متن کاملInfluence of Si on Interhemispheric Inhibition Influence of Primary Somatosensory Cortex on Interhemispheric Inhibition
The control of unimanual and bimanual tasks is a highly orchestrated process in which primary motor cortex (M1) and primary somatosensory cortex (SI) play key roles. While somatic cortices are known to aid in the control of hand movements, the neural mechanisms by which they act remain largely unknown. One mechanism which is thought to mediate the control of hand movements between bilateral M1s...
