BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Pure sensory stroke (PSS) usually is caused by a lacunar infarct; reports of PSS caused by cerebral hemorrhage have been rare. We correlated clinical and neuroradiologic findings in patients with PSS caused by cerebral hemorrhage. METHODS We retrospectively studied seven patients with appropriate clinical findings and lesions revealed by X-ray CT and MR imaging (five me...

AIMS The aim of the study was to evaluate and compare the oral stereognostic ability and satisfaction for fixed prosthesis in human being. MATERIALS AND METHODS The present study was carried out on 40 subjects, the purpose being to investigate the relation of oral perception to diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Two types of cast metal crowns--one had morphology closely resembling origina...

A cross-modal association between somatosensory tactile sensation and parietal and occipital activities during Braille reading was initially discovered in tests with blind subjects, with sighted and blindfolded healthy subjects used as controls. However, the neural background of oral stereognosis remains unclear. In the present study, we investigated whether the parietal and occipital cortices ...

OBJECTIVES This correlational study investigated the relationships among sensorimotor components, standardized measures of fine motor skill, and functional performance in self-care, mobility, and social interaction. It also examined which sensorimotor components and fine motor skills were predictors of functional performance. METHOD Thirty preschool children with motor delays were evaluated w...

OBJECTIVE Pain and deficits in somatosensory processing seem to play a relevant role in cerebral palsy (CP). Rehabilitation techniques based on neuroplasticity mechanisms may induce powerful changes in the organization of the primary somatosensory cortex and have been proved to reduce levels of pain and discomfort in neurological pathologies. However, little is known about the efficacy of such ...
