Introduction and objective: The muscle weakness, strength asymmetries and imbalance between antagonist muscles are risk factors for knee injuries. It is possible that these risk factors increase in soccer players with cerebral palsy (CP) due to their pathology and to the sport activity. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to assess the presence of these factors in paralympic athle...

Background Neurotomies were one of the first procedures performed in the field of functional neurosurgery. Microstimulators and microscopes facilitate the performance of neurotomies to treat focal spasticity. This report shows how three different consecutive neurotomies were performed in one patient with chronic left upper/lower extremity spasticity. Case Description A 65-year-old male with i...

Data on patients with localized brain damage and on neurologically intact subjects show that normal motor control depends on the functionality of a chain of neurobiological events. These events, through the activation of internal representations of the desired, predicted, and actual condition of one’s body with respect to the external world, contribute to the construction of conscious knowledge...

Although stroke affects nearly 15 million people worldwide annually, with 5 million experiencing some degree of permanent paralysis, appropriate rehabilitation programs can improve motor function and quality of life. For example, repetitive voluntary movement of the paralyzed limb can improve function and remodel neural circuits. Robotic technologies may be effective for stroke rehabilitation b...

OBJECTIVES Many studies have examined how children with cerebral palsy (CP) manage to walk, but few have investigated running, yielding controversial results. The aim of this study was to quantitatively assess gait ability and its stability in children with hemiplegic CP while running and walking. METHODS A group of 20 children with spastic hemiplegia due to CP (CPG, 5.1 ± 2.3 years old), and...

Stroke syndromes include a variety of syndromes with often overlapping clinical presentations. When ipsilateral hemiplegia is associated with symptoms of a lateral medullary syndrome, it corresponds to the submedullary syndrome of Opalski. A 72-year-old woman presented with sudden onset of headache, gait disturbance, and recurrent vomiting. Her clinical status gradually deteriorated and she was...
