[Neurorehabilitation for spinocerebellar degeneration].
It remains to be elucidated whether there is a use- or dose-dependent effect of rehabilitative intervention on impairment and disability of spinocerebellar degeneration since the disease progressively damages cerebellar structure that plays a crucial role in motor learning. Moreover there is a trade-off between functional improvement after rehabilitation and functional deterioration due to dise...
متن کاملCognitive impairment in spinocerebellar degeneration.
It has been reported that patients with spinocerebellar degenerations (SCDs) have cognitive dysfunction as well as limb and truncal ataxia, dysarthria and dysphagia. We review cognitive dysfunction in common types of SCD, including spinocerebellar ataxia types 1, 2, 3, 6, and 17, dentatorubral-pallidoluysian atrophy, Friedreich's ataxia, and multiple system atrophy. There are few studies that a...
متن کاملAdrenoleukodystrophy manifesting as spinocerebellar degeneration.
X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (XALD) is an inherited disorder of peroxisomal metabolism. Atypical presentations have been occasionally reported in literature. However, extrapyramidal and cerebellar manifestations are distinctly rare. We report a patient of X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy with cranial and cervical dystonia and neurological presentation resembling spinocerebellar degeneration follo...
متن کاملPlatelet taurine uptake in spinocerebellar degeneration.
The uptake of 14C-taurine was studied in the platelets of 20 ataxic patients and 20 age-matched normal control subjects. No significant differences were found in uptake or kinetics of taurine between the two groups of subjects. If a transport defect in taurine exists in Friedreich's ataxia, it is not present in all tissues. Preliminary indication was obtained in favor of heterogenity of the upt...
متن کاملFamilial spinocerebellar degeneration as an expression of adrenoleukodystrophy.
A family with adrenoleukodystrophy and clinical manifestations of spinocerebellar degeneration was studied. Two adult male first cousins showed progressive limb and truncal ataxia, slurred speech and spasticity of the extremities. Brain CT scans demonstrated atrophy of the pons and cerebellum, in both cases. Very long chain fatty acids in plasma and erythrocyte membranes were elevated in the af...
