The present study investigated the involvement of the human cerebellum in the habituation of the acoustic startle response using PET. The startle response was elicited in seven young, healthy subjects by a tone presented via headphones. Startle responses were recorded from the right sternocleidomastoid muscle. Regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) was assessed in nine scans and one startle stimul...

Percutaneous electrical vestibular stimulation evokes reflexive responses in appendicular muscles that are suppressed during tasks in which the muscles are not contributing to balance control. In neck muscles, which stabilize the head on the torso and in space, it is unclear whether similar postural task dependence shapes vestibular reflexes. We investigated whether vestibulocollic reflexes are...

50 Percutaneous electrical vestibular stimulation evokes reflexive responses in appendicular 51 muscles that are suppressed during tasks where the muscles are not contributing to balance 52 control. In neck muscles, which stabilize the head on the torso and in space, it is unclear if 53 similar postural task dependence shapes vestibular reflexes. We investigated whether 54 vestibulocollic refle...

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to identify the imbalance of muscle recruitment in cervical flexor muscles during the craniocervical flexion test by using ultrasonography and to propose the optimal level of pressure in clinical craniocervical flexion exercise for people with neck pain. [Subjects and Methods] A total of 18 students (9 males and 9 females) with neck pain at D University i...

Intramuscular lipoma is rare benign tumour rarely located in the head and neck region. It arises between muscle fibres passes through intermuscular septa. Due to infiltrative nature of tumour, recurrence rate higher than other subcutaneous lipomas. Complete surgical excision often regarded as a definitive treatment modality longterm follow-up mandatory. Here we report case 49-year-old male pres...

STUDY DESIGN Twenty young, healthy volunteers in a laboratory were subjected to rear-end impacts 4.4, 7.9, 10.9, and 13.1 m/s acceleration with head rotation to right and left. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to determine the response of the cervical muscles to increasing low-velocity rear impacts when the head is rotated at the time of impact. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA A previous...
