Interlocking finger test: a bedside screen for parietal lobe dysfunction.
This study sought to determine the utility of an interlocking finger task in screening for parietal lobe dysfunction. The ability of 69 patients to imitate a standardised set of four interlocking finger figures was compared with concurrent performance on formal neurocognitive tests. Poor interlocking finger test scores correlated most highly with standard measures of parietal lobe dysfunction. ...

that these findings suggest an aberrant function in the cortical GABAergic inhibitory circuits. Sensory cortex hyperexcitability also appears to be important in the pathophysiology of myoclonus. Measuring cortical potentials in response to peripheral sensory stimulation is commonly performed to study the integrity of the central nervous system and the technique is commonly referred to as SEPs. ...

متن کاملA sensitive test for tactile extinction: results in patients with parietal and frontal lobe disease.
A simple test for detecting tactile extinction is described. In a population of parietal-damaged patients it yielded fewer false negatives than the classical clinical procedure. Contrary to expectations, lesions confined to the right frontal lobe produced no extinction, while those in right-handed, left frontal cases revealed ipsilateral extinction with the new test.
متن کاملXenomelia: a new right parietal lobe syndrome.
BACKGROUND Damage to the right parietal lobe has long been associated with various disorders of body image. The authors have recently suggested that an unusual behavioural condition in which otherwise rational individuals desire the amputation of a healthy limb might also arise from right parietal dysfunction. METHODS Four subjects who desired the amputation of healthy legs (two right, one le...
