Developmental dyslexia is a heterogeneous syndrome with a phonological core deficit and frequent association with other developmental disorders. Controversies exist about the influence of motor difficulties frequently encountered in dyslexia. According to different theoretical approaches, these motor impairments would reflect either a frequent co-morbid entity or a cerebellar dysfunction that c...

OBJECTIVE Most patients with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) exhibit debilitating motor symptoms. The effect of continuous pain on motor system in CRPS, however, is not well known. We searched for signs of motor cortex dysfunction in chronic CRPS type 1 patients with motor impairment. METHODS We recorded rhythmic brain activity with magnetoencephalography (MEG) during noxious thulium-la...

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by motor and non-motor symptoms. It is expected to impose an increasing economic and social burden on human populations. The motor symptoms of PD are well known, including age-dependent uncontrollable resting tremor, bradykinesia, rigidity, posture instability. In the non-motor symptoms, cognitive changes, d...

Background. the basal ganglia’s circuit dysfunction has a major role in a range of movement disorders. Some evidence has shown that exercise can improve performance, especially locomotor activity after brain injuries. There was currently insufficient information to define the impacts of intensity, duration, and frequency of different exercises. Objectives. in this study, we examine the r...

Objective:Boswellia serrata oleo-gum resin (frankincense) exerted antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects against several diseases, such as; asthma, rheumatoi...

Postherpetic pseudohernia must be suspected when a patient develops motor dysfunction coincident with or following a herpes zoster eruption.

objective the primary problem in children with cerebral palsy (cp), frequently referred for occupational therapy, is gross motor dysfunction. the current study was designed to investigate the effects of sensory integration therapy (sit) on gross motor skills in cp patients. materials & methods twenty-four children with diplegic spastic cp were randomly divided into two groups: first group (n=14...

Intraoperative nerve dysfunction has been difficult to investigate because of its rarity and unpredictable occurrence. The diagnostic test attributes function monitors have not clearly defined. This proof-of-concept study aimed assess the feasibility using brachial plexus blockade (BPB) in awake patients as an experimental model for characterize somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEPs). We obtai...

Conversion paralysis is characterized by a loss of voluntary motor functioning without an organic cause. Despite its prevalence among neurological outpatients, little is known about the neurobiological basis of this motor dysfunction. We have examined whether the motor dysfunction in conversion paralysis can be linked to inhibition of the motor system, or rather to enhanced self-monitoring duri...

Previous brain imaging studies suggest that stroke alters functional connectivity in motor execution networks. Moreover, current understanding of brain plasticity has led to new approaches in stroke rehabilitation. Recent studies showed a significant role of effective coupling of neuronal activity in the SMA (supplementary motor area) and M1 (primary motor cortex) network for motor outcome in p...
