When we use a novel tool, the motor commands may not produce the expected outcome. In healthy individuals, with practice the brain learns to alter the motor commands. This change depends critically on the cerebellum as damage to this structure impairs adaptation. However, it is unclear precisely what the cerebellum contributes to the process of adaptation in human motor learning. Is the cerebel...

conclusions the addition of tramadol to epidural 2% lidocaine offers advantages in cesarean section. results in the lt100 group, onset of complete sensory and motor blockade at t6 was less than in the two other groups, but the highest level of sensory blockade and two segment regression and duration of motor blockades between the lt50 and lt100 groups were not significantly different, although ...

Abstract OBJECTIVES: Several approaches have been proposed for the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) based on its severity. The aim of this study is to determine the optimal management for severe CTS.  METHODS: This study was conducted in a cross-sectional fashion during a 22-month period from August 2017 to June 2019 in a referral rehabilitation clinic in southern Iran. A total of 11...

Inherited neuropathy is a genetically and clinically heterogeneous group of neuropathies, the main category becomes Charcot-Marie-Tooth neuropathy (CMT), also known as hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy (HMSN), distal hereditary motor neuropathy (dHMN), and hereditary sensory autonomic neuropathy (HSAN). At least 80 genes have been associated with CMT, HMN or HSAN, a precise molecular diag...

Most stroke patients suffer from a combination of motor and sensory dysfunction central facial paralysis. Specific rehabilitation training is required to restore those functions. Current research focuses on developing stimulating straightforward processes so that adhere the at home after hospital release. This study proposes enhancing patients’ enthusiasm participate in muscle exercises improvi...

The human visual system uses saccadic and vergence eye movements to foveate visual targets. To mimic this aspect of the biological visual system the PC/BC-DIM neural network is used as an omni-directional basis function network for learning and performing sensory-sensory and sensory-motor transformations without using any hardcoded geometric information. A hierarchical PC/BC-DIM network is used...

Tactile perception is obtained by coordinated motor-sensory processes. We studied the processes underlying the perception of object location in freely moving rats. We trained rats to identify the relative location of two vertical poles placed in front of them and measured at high resolution the motor and sensory variables (19 and 2 variables, respectively) associated with this whiskers-based pe...
