Motor control deficits of orofacial muscles in cerebral palsy.
Voluntary control of the masseter and orbicularis oris superioris muscles was examined in able bodied and cerebral palsied subjects using visual tracking tasks. A smoothed measure of muscle activity (the full-wave rectified and low-pass filtered electromyogram) was presented as a marker on a computer display screen and the subjects could control the vertical position of the marker by voluntaril...

متن کاملCerebral cortex involvement in Machado-Joseph disease.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Machado-Joseph disease (MJD/SCA3) is the most frequent spinocerebellar ataxia, characterized by brainstem, basal ganglia and cerebellar damage. Few magnetic resonance imaging based studies have investigated damage in the cerebral cortex. The objective was to determine whether patients with MJD/SCA3 have cerebral cortex atrophy, to identify regions more susceptible to dama...
متن کاملBotulinum toxin in the treatment of facial synkinesis and hyperkinesis.
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Facial synkinesis and hyperkinesis commonly impair the outcome of facial nerve palsy. Botulinum toxin type A has shown positive results in the treatment of these symptoms. Our experience is reported in this article. STUDY DESIGN Prospective study. METHODS Forty-one patients affected by facial synkinesis and hyperkinesis due to facial palsy were treated. The etiology of...
