OCtrLAR ~tYOPATHY is a relatively uncommon type of muscular dystrophy. The clinical entity has boon &scribed under various titles, some of which are: progressive dystrophy of the external ocular muscles, I chronic external ophthalmoplegia, 2 descending ocular myopathy, s oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy. 4 The usual clinical features are ptosis, a variable degree of restriction of extraocular...

Human movements have to be very tightly controlled by the neuro-muscular control mechanisms. In free style ski jumps the muscular events were as short as or shorter than 50ms and inter muscular co-contractions started and were synchronized within a time range of less than 5ms [1]. The Piper rhythm shows a neuromuscular control mechanism that can be seen in the EMG during isometric contractions ...

The vastly increasing number of neuro-muscular simulation studies (with increasing numbers of muscles used per simulation) is in sharp contrast to a narrow database of necessary muscle parameters. Simulation results depend heavily on rough parameter estimates often obtained by scaling of one muscle parameter set. However, in vivo muscles differ in their individual properties and architecture. H...

Biofeedback is the way of gaining greater awareness physiological functions with a goal self-regulation. JPMR (Jacobson’s progressive muscle relaxation) causes release tension in skeletal muscles, neuro-muscular system thus seen as mediator relief depressive symptoms. This study aimed to see comparative efficacy biofeedback-assisted JPMR, escitalopram and bimodal use both management mild/modera...

abstract bachground: the main objective of this study was to define the clinical changes of facial deformity in patients older than 5 years with congenital torticollis treated by proximal and distal sternocleidomastoid tenotomy. methods: we retrospectively evaluated fifteen patients who had had an open tenotomy of the sternal and clavicular and mastoid origins of the sternocleidomastoid muscle ...
