Cerebral Palsy: Motor Types, Gross Motor Function and Associated Disorders
Objectives: Cerebral palsy (CP) describes a group of disorders in the development of movement and posture in the developing brain. The main aim of this study was to determine the distribution of motor impairment and associated disorders in a population of children with CP. Methods: This study was carried out in 2011 during three months, on 200 CP children. Multiple sources of ascertainment w...
متن کاملDepressive Disorders in Schizophrenia
146 cases of schizophrenia, fulfilling Research Diagnostic Criteria and a regular followup of 6 months or more, were studied concerning depressive mood disorders at the onset of illness and over a period of time following neuroleptic treatment. There was no significant difference in the total number of cases depressed at the onset of illness (49) and at final follow up (56). Following 8 weeks o...
متن کاملMotor cortical excitability in schizophrenia.
BACKGROUND Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) provides a method to examine cortico-cortical motor excitability and hemispheric asymmetry in unmedicated and medicated schizophrenia patients. METHODS Fourteen right-handed schizophrenia patients (seven on conventional neuroleptics and seven medication-free) were compared with seven right-handed, age- and gender-matched normal control subjec...
متن کاملDeficient motor synchrony in schizophrenia.
A laboratory measure of motor function, synchronization of tapping with an auditory stimulus, was introduced as an index of motor disorganization in schizophrenia. It was hypothesized that (a) schizophrenics' performance on this task would be distinguishable from that of controls and would reflect a relative inability to take advantage of stimulus predictability, independent of task difficulty;...
متن کاملGlutamatergic-dopaminergic balance in the brain. Its importance in motor disorders and schizophrenia.
Dopamine appears to be of less importance in the regulation of psychomotor functions than was previously thought. A central dopaminergic-glutamatergic balance may be important for both akinetic motor disorders and psychosis. In Parkinson's disease glutamate antagonists may counteract central glutamatergic hyperactivity and may be of value as anti-parkinsonian drugs. An increase of dopaminergic ...
