Motor function in diabetic neuropathy

Acta Neurologica Scandinavica, 2009
In contrast to sensory and autonomic disturbances motor function has seldomly been studied in diabetic neuropathy. Recently quantitative studies of long-term type 1 diabetic patients have shown that the strength of the ankle and knee extensors and flexors are moderately impaired. The weakness is closely related to the severity of neuropathy.

Motor functions of the Broca’s region

Brain and Language, 2004
Broca's region in the dominant cerebral hemisphere is known to mediate the production of language but also contributes to comprehension. This region evolved only in humans and is constituted of Brodmann's areas 44 and 45 in the inferior frontal gyrus. There is, however, evidence that Broca's region overlaps, at least in part, with the ventral premotor ...

Investigation of Motor Functions

1966
Investigation of motor function for diagnostic localization involves an analysis of the complex forms of construction of voluntary movements known in clinical neurology as praxis. They may be disturbed by lesions of various divisions of the cerebral cortex.

Disturbances of Motor Functions [PDF]

, 1980
The disturbances resulting from interruption of motor pathways are more easily examined in patients than in experimental animals. An attempt is first made to localize the site and to assess the extent of the damage, and then certain tests are conducted to help confirm the diagnosis.

Functional imaging of the motor system

Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 1994
Recent studies of the motor system using functional imaging have served to emphasize the complexity of the control of even relatively simple movements. The results of these studies suggest that the behavioral context of the movement is an important determinant of functional activation within cortical motor areas.

Motor and Hand Function

1990
The frequency of soft-tissue laxity and gross and fine motor dysfunction makes it a common finding in occupational and physical therapy evaluations in programs dealing with older adults and young children with Down syndrome. In children with Down syndrome, hypotonia, increased flexibility of the joints, decreased muscle strength, and the frequent ...

Interaction in Simultaneous Motor Functions

Archives of Neurology And Psychiatry, 1959
Introduction Healthy persons are generally known to have a strong tendency toward symmetry of movements carried out simultaneously with the two upper extremities. Dissimilar movements, carried out simultaneously with the left and the right hand, entail a considerable effort, which is not always effective.

Motor Function of the Alimentary Tract

Annual Review of Physiology, 1964
Inaugurating a new policy, the editors have asked this reviewer to limit his coverage of the past year's output in gastrointestinal physiology to the motor function of the digestive tract. Of course, this is a recognition not only of the rapidly increasing amount of literature in the field of gastroin­ testinal physiology, but also of the increasing ...

On the Origin of the Motor Function

2020
The evolutionary importance of motor function; the enrichment of coordination resources; the development of structures within the central nervous system; the emergence and development of the levels of movement construction; the coordination components of movements.
