To establish a clinician-led guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of Hirayama disease (HD) using modified Delphi technique.Based on combination systematic review opinion ten experts, protocol consensus diagnosis, follow-up assessment HD was established. A 3-round survey then performed by more than 40 panelists from various countries world. Both levels evidence agreement were derived in all statements finial guideline.A total 47 experts 6 enrolled expert panel this study. Highly...
Study Design. An ambispective cohort analysis. Objective. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact early (≤2 weeks) versus delayed (>2 surgical intervention on spinal motor neurons at and distal injury site in acute traumatic central cord syndrome (ATCCS). Summary Background Data. Accumulating evidence demonstrated degeneration lower (LMNs) following injury, secondary may exacerbate impairments limit spontaneous recovery. However, few studies involved pathological process...
Abstract Background Postoperative axial pain (PAP), characterized by and/or stiffness around the posterior neck, periscapular areas shoulder region, is a vexing complication affecting 5–60% of patients undergoing cervical decompression. Given its relatively high frequency and negative impact on patients’ physical mental status, efforts preoperatively to confirm at risk developing PAP offer more efficient management minimize this have priority. The aim study investigate role preoperative...
To assess the effect of chronic cervical spinal cord compression upon remote motor unit function in patients with spondylotic myelopathy (CSM).Fifty-three CSM and 47 healthy subjects were included. Bilateral number estimations (MUNEs) recorded from both abductor digiti minimi pollicis brevis, bilateral flexor carpi radialis (FCR) H-reflexes examined all along nine-hole peg test (NHPT). The main outcome measures included units, average single potential (SMUP) area, FCR Hmax/Mmax ratios NHPT...
Objective: The H-reflex of the flexor carpi radialis (FCR H-reflex) has not been commonly used for diagnosis cervical radiculopathy when compared with routinely tested soleus H-reflex. Although both S1 and S2 roots innervate soleus, is selectively related to nerve root function clinically. Flexor also innervated by two which are C6 C7. they among most common involved in radiculopathy, few studies reported if attenuation FCR caused lesions affecting C7 or roots, both. We aimed identify...
Purpose: Distal-type cervical spondylotic amyotrophy (CSA) is an uncommon syndrome associated with spondylosis. The pathogenic mechanism of distal-type CSA still unclear. aim the current study was to analyze central motor conduction time (CMCT) in cases and investigate role cord compressive injury CSA. Methods: Both 28 21 healthy subjects accepted CMCT measures, unit number estimation, handgrip strength examination, magnetic resonance imaging evaluation. Results: In this study, nine (9/28,...
We investigated the feasibility of motor unit number index (MUNIX) in quantitatively assessing root lesions and tracking different treatment outcomes lumbosacral radiculopathy (LR).Bilateral MUNIX was recorded from abductor hallucis, extensor digitorum brevis, tibialis anterior 44 normal controls 108 patients with LR, this repeated approximately 12 months after 60 LR.More abnormalities were observed when side-to-side differences measurements used to evaluate LR (P < .05). Motor worsened...
Study Design. A retrospective cohort analysis. Objective. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact piecemeal versus en bloc laminectomies on spinal cord in thoracic ossification ligamentum flavum (TOLF) through intraoperative changes motor-evoked potentials (MEPs) and somatosensory-evoked (SEPs). Summary Background Data. Surgical treatment is indicated for symptomatic TOLF, both are commonly used methods. However, few studies compared interference prognostic these two TOLF...
Hoffmann reflex to tibial nerve stimulation at the popliteal fossa (tibial H-reflex) is routinely used evaluate S1 radiculopathy. However, it lacks sensitivity because other lesions along this circuit affect H-reflex bilaterally. This study was undertaken determine whether evoked by stimulating proximally foramen (S1 could improve root lesion evaluation in patients with diabetes mellitus. A randomized paired designed and H-reflexes; bilateral H-M interval (HMI) latency were compared 22...
A novel H-reflex method using the biceps femoris-long head (BF-LH) was investigated to collect normative data for this reflex arc and assess its clinical utility S1 radiculopathy evaluation. Comparability with conventional tibial Sol findings also determined.BF-LH H-reflexes were recorded surface electrodes S1-root stimulation in 43 unilateral patients (radiculopathy group) 34 normal subjects (control from March 2009 December 2011. H-M interval peak-to-peak amplitudes measured. The BF-LH...
Sensory neuronopathy (SNN) mimics distal sensory axonopathy. The conventional H-reflex elicited by tibial nerve stimulation (tibial H-reflex) is usually abnormal in both conditions. We evaluated the proximally evoked soleus response to S1 root (S1 foramen SNN.Eleven patients with SNN and 6 axonopathy were studied. Tibial H-reflexes performed bilaterally each patient.Tibial absent all SNN. In axonopathy, 4 demonstrated prolonged latencies 2, but normal.Characteristic absence of after proximal...
