Stuttering: a dynamic motor control disorder.
UNLABELLED The purpose of this review is to determine what neural mechanisms may be dysfunctional in stuttering. Three sources of evidence are reviewed. First, studies of dynamic inter-relationships among brain regions during normal speech and in persons who stutter (PWS) suggest that the timing of neural activity in different regions may be abnormal in PWS. Second, the brain lesions associated...
متن کاملThe effect of repetitive arm cycling on post stroke spasticity and motor control: repetitive arm cycling and spasticity.
This study's aims were (1) to test whether training on an arm ergometer improves motor performance, and (2) to develop a technique to quantify individual muscle spasticity. Nine patients with a stabilized hemisyndrome (in average 22 months after ischemic stroke in the territory of middle cerebral artery) underwent a 3-week training on an arm ergometer, 5 days/week. The patients were tested one ...
متن کاملThe spasticity paradox: movement disorder or disorder of resting limbs?
BACKGROUND Spasticity is defined/assessed in resting limbs, where increased stretch reflex activity and mechanical joint resistance are evident. Treatment with antispastic agents assumes that these features contribute to the movement disorder, although it is unclear whether they persist during voluntary contraction. OBJECTIVES To compare reflex amplitude and joint resistance in spastic and no...
متن کاملSpasticity: Pathophysiology and Neural Control
In discussing spasticity and its pathophysiology we presented evidences for cellular alteration and their neurocontrol. We outline clinical practice of recognizing and describing spasms and spasticity in order to emphasize residual descending influence to the spinal cord. Finally, we provide published evidences that such residual descending influence can be exerted under an attempt of an altere...
متن کاملAltered motor control and spasticity after spinal cord injury: subjective and objective assessment.
This study of measures of spasticity, or altered motor control, compares the clinically used Ashworth scale with a method based on surface electromyographic (sEMG) recordings called brain motor control assessment (BMCA) in a group of 97 subjects with spinal cord injury (SCI) and varying levels of motor dysfunction. In this paper, we describe how sEMG-derived scores relate to the severity of spa...
