Inco-ordination of oesophageal motor activity.
Physiology of the oesophagus The oesophagus is essentially a motor organ and oesophageal disease often results in disordered motor function. Under resting conditions the gullet is normally sealed at its upper and lower extremities by sphincters which relax in a coordinated manner before the oncoming bolus. The oesophageal peristaltic wave travels at 2-3 cm/sec and is initiated either by swallow...
متن کاملDysphagia Due to Anterior Cervical Spine Osteophyte: A Case Report
Introduction: Degenerative changes of the cervical spine are more common in elderly, but anterior cervical osteophytes that cause problems in swallowing are rare. The most common cause of this problem is DISH disease (diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis). Trauma is also suggested as a potential cause in osteophyte formation.

متن کاملBradykinesia akinesia inco-ordination test (BRAIN TEST): an objective computerised assessment of upper limb motor function.
OBJECTIVES A simple and rapid computerised keyboard test, based on the alternating finger tapping test, has been developed to quantify upper limb motor function. The test generates several variables: (1) kinesia score: the number of keystrokes in 60 seconds; (2) akinesia time: cumulative time that keys are depressed; (3) dysmetria score: a weighted index calculated using the number of incorrect...
متن کاملLate dysphagia due to cervical plate.
The aim of management of injury of the spinal cord, if feasible, is to reduce the occuring neurologic deficit and protect any additional loss of neurologic function. Most of complications are noted during the peroperative or immediate postoperative period. Dysphagia is common occurance in the early postoperative period following anterior cervical spine surgery. There are many reasons that lead ...
