introduction: functional ankle instability has described as a “feeling of giving way”. balance control deficit is one of the sensorimotor impairments observed in people with functional ankle instability that has been described to damage to the afferent receptors within the ligaments and joint capsule that affected during sprain. foot orthosis can improve balance control via enhanced sensory aff...

introduction: bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (bsso) of mandible is vastly used in treatment of mandibular deficiencies and discrepancies. since this method could affect esthetic as well as function, evaluating these effects from various aspects is crucial. this study assessed the effects of this technique on the function of masseter muscle, jaw movements, and sensory changes along with fail...

introduction:  carpal tunnel syndrome (cts) is the most common compressive neuropathy. several surgical and nonsurgical treatments have been proposed for this syndrome, but there is no consensus regarding the prioritization of the suggested nonsurgical treatments. the goal of this study was to compare the long term effects of laser therapy versus local corticosteroid injection in the treatment ...

PURPOSE To describe a clinically useful application of functional magnetic resonance (MR) imaging--presurgical mapping of the sensory motor cortex--and to validate the results with established physiologic techniques. MATERIALS AND METHODS Functional MR mapping of the sensory motor cortex was performed in two women, aged 24 and 38 years. Both had intractable, simple partial motor seizures due ...

the possibility of fractional replacement of gelatin in pastille with either soluble, fractions or whole persian gum and the effects of olibanum gum addition on some sensory and physical properties of pastille were evaluated. findings revealed that persian gum either alone or along with high levels of sucrose could not result in gelation, whereas its insoluble part addition led to some gelation...

In the diagnosis of functional weakness and sensory disturbance, positive physical signs are as important as absence of signs of disease. Motor signs, particularly Hoover’s sign, are more reliable than sensory signs, but none should be used in isolation and must be interpreted in the overall context of the presentation. It should be borne in mind that a patient may have both a functional and an...
