IN 1955 Wohlfart et al1separated hereditary proximal muscular atrophy from dystrophy as a new clinical entity. Kugelberg and Welander2in 1956 gave detailed description of this syndrome, based on 12 patients, which might be summarized follows: (1) onset the disease childhood to adolescence, (2) resembling dystrophy, (3) fasciculations, (4) absence syndrome bulbar palsy, (5) apparently non-sex-linked recessive form inheritance, (6) very slow progression, (7) neurogenic nature disorder...
Despite their disabilities, top Paralympic athletes have better motor skills than able-bodied athletes. However, the neural underpinnings of these remain unclear. We investigated reorganization primary cortex (M1) in a athlete with congenital amputation both arms who holds world record for farthest accurate shot archery (Amputee Archer: AA). recorded brain activity during contraction right toe, ankle, knee, and hip joint muscles AA 12 control subjects using functional magnetic resonance...
Functional electrical stimulation therapy (FEST) can improve motor function after neurological injuries. However, little is known about cortical changes FEST and weather it traumatic brain injury (TBI). Our study examined improvements in one male participant with chronic TBI suffering from mild impairment affecting the right upper-limb during 3-months of follow-up. In total, 36 sessions were applied to enable grasping reaching movements. Short-term assessments carried out using transcranial...
Background We recently discovered that individuals with complete spinal cord injury (SCI) have a higher grip force control ability in their intact upper limbs than able-bodied subjects. However, the neural basis for this phenomenon is unknown. Objective This study aimed to investigate of brains SCI using multimodal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Methods Eight subjects and 10 performed hand tasks at 10%, 20%, 30% maximal voluntary contraction during functional MRI (fMRI). Resting-state...
Background. Drastic functional reorganization was observed in the ipsilateral primary motor cortex (M1) of a Paralympic long jumper with unilateral below-knee amputation our previous study. However, it remains unclear whether long-term para-sports are associated M1 since only 1 athlete investigated. Objective. This study aimed to investigate relationship between and after lower limb amputation. Methods. Lower rhythmic muscle contraction tasks magnetic resonance imaging T1-weighted structural...
