Reachable Workspace as a Clinical Outcome for Upper Extremity Function: A Narrative Review

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Motion sensing technology can be utilized to capture detailed upper extremity (UE) motion to reconstruct an individual's three‐dimensional (3D) reachable workspace (RWS). The RWS can be quantified as relative surface area (RSA), providing an innovative surrogate measure to assess UE mobility and function.

Oral Health in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: Feasibility of Oral Screening and Determinants of Poor Outcomes

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
People with ALS experience significantly worse oral health than healthy controls, with plaque, gingival inflammation, and bleeding markedly elevated. Lack of dental insurance is the strongest predictor of poor outcomes, while sialorrhea, ethnicity, sex, and dysphagia severity are not independently associated.

Utility of Far‐Field Potentials as a Biomarker of Neurodegeneration in Spinal Muscular Atrophy

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Far field potentials (FFP) have been proposed as a reliable neurophysiological prognostic biomarker in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). This study evaluated the utility of ulnar nerve FFP as a robust research biomarker of lower motor neuron degeneration in spinal muscular atrophy (SMA).

Quality of Life in Patients With Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) is a rare disorder of the nervous system that detrimentally influences health‐related quality of life (HRQoL). Evidence regarding factors influencing HRQoL in CIDP is scarce.

The Diagnostic Potential of Axon Excitability Is Consistent Across Hand Muscles in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Recent work suggests that nerve excitability testing has diagnostic potential in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The diagnostic performance of nerve excitability across hand muscles is currently unknown. This study aimed to assess if muscles of the so‐called split hand (abductor pollicis brevis [APB], first dorsal ...

Delayed Life‐Threatening Thyroid Artery Hemorrhage After Percutaneous Transesophageal Gastro‐Tubing in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: A Case Report

Neurology and Clinical Neuroscience, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Percutaneous transesophageal gastro‐tubing provides enteral access when endoscopic gastrostomy is not feasible, but delayed vascular injury is seldom reported. We describe a 73‐year‐old woman with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and prior gastrectomy who became ventilator‐dependent and underwent percutaneous transesophageal gastro‐tubing.
