Physiology of abnormal movements.
نویسنده
چکیده
The units of the central nervous system controlling voluntary movement are described and the roles of the motor and sensory cortex, of the basal ganglia and cerebellum and of the final common loop are outlined. The pathophysiology underlying disturbances of movement, power and tone of the limbs is discussed, with particular reference to the more common dyskinesias.

Study of the Persistence Effect of two Exercises Controlling the Scapula and Corrective Movements on Neck Pain and Angle of Head in Males with forward Head
Introduction: The scapula movement control disorder is an important factor in the incidence of upper limb abnormalities that influences sensory-motor control. There is a dearth of research on the persistence effects of training exercises. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the persistence effects (after six months) of two exercises controlling the scapula and corrective movemen...
متن کاملAbnormal air-righting reflex in striatal rats.
To understand dynamic postural control of the higher brain, we compared air-righting reflexes in various decerebrate rats. Post-operative 3-5 d thalamic and mesencephalic rats displayed almost similar righting movements as intact. However, in striatal animals, coordination of righting movements was disrupted. The higher brain without cortical control could interfere with the brainstem center of...

Background:The prevalence of diabetes mellitus is increasing worldwide and the relationship between peripheral vascular involvement and the complications of diabetes disease, such as retinopathy, has been reported in some studies but has not yet been fully proven. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between diabetes complications and peripheral and central vascular involve...
متن کاملFetal heart rate variability and brain stem injury after asphyxia in preterm fetal sheep.
This study was undertaken to determine the mechanisms mediating changes in fetal heart rate variability (FHRV) during and after exposure to asphyxia in the premature fetus. Preterm fetal sheep at 0.6 of gestation (91 +/- 1 days, term is 147 days) were exposed to either sham occlusion (n = 10) or to complete umbilical cord occlusion for either 20 (n = 7) or 30 min (n = 10). Cord occlusion led to...
متن کاملNystagmus and Related Ocular Motility Disorders
General Concepts and Clinical Approach This chapter concerns abnormal eye movements that disrupt steady fixation and thereby degrade vision. We now know a good deal about the normal anatomy, physiology, and pharmacology of ocular motor control (1). Our approach is to apply this knowledge to nystagmus and other ocular oscillations, since pathophysiology provides a sounder conceptual framework th...
متن کاملAbnormal Movements of Japanese Infants following Treatment with Midazolam in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit: Incidence and Risk Factors
Background. This study was conducted to investigate the incidence of, and factors associated with, myoclonus-like abnormal movements of Japanese infants following treatment with midazolam in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Methods. We retrospectively investigated abnormal movements and associated risk factors in Japanese infants (less than 1 year old) who received continuous intravenous ...
