Neck proprioception and spatial orientation in cervical dystonia.
Neck muscle vibration is known to influence body orientation and posture during locomotion and stance in normal subjects. To verify the hypothesis that neck proprioceptive input can be misinterpreted in patients with cervical dystonia (CD), lateral continuous vibration was applied to the sternocleidomastoid muscle during both stepping-in-place and quiet stance, with eyes closed. The orienting r...
متن کاملNeck Proprioception Shapes Body Orientation and Perception of Motion
This review article deals with some effects of neck muscle proprioception on human balance, gait trajectory, subjective straight-ahead (SSA), and self-motion perception. These effects are easily observed during neck muscle vibration, a strong stimulus for the spindle primary afferent fibers. We first remind the early findings on human balance, gait trajectory, SSA, induced by limb, and neck mus...
متن کاملCervical Dystonia
There is now strong evidence demonstrating that bilateral globus pallidus internus (GPi) stimulation improves motor function and disability in patients with severe primary generalised, segmental or cervical dystonia. The improvement is gradual, typically occurring over a period of about six months, with pain and then phasic components dissipating before the tonic elements of dystonia. Controlle...
متن کاملEffects of Cervical Stabilization Exercises on Neck Proprioception in Patients with Cervicogenic Headache
Cervicogenic headache is gaining prevalence in young adults along with proprioception deficit in the cervical region. Methodology: In this study, 30 participants who met the diagnostic criteria for Cervicogenic headache were randomized into two groups: experimental group and control group. The control group was given stretching exercises. The experimental group in addition to stretching perform...
متن کاملRelationship between sleep, neck muscle activity, and pain in cervical dystonia.
OBJECTIVE The interactions between sleep, neck muscle activity, and cervical spinal pain were examined in a controlled study with nine patients suffering from idiopathic cervical dystonia (ICD; also referred to as spasmodic torticollis), and nine gender- and age-matched controls. METHODS From each participant, two all-night polysomnograms with additional electromyographic recordings from the ...
