Ultrasound shearwave elastography to characterize muscles of healthy and cerebral palsy children

Scientific Reports, 2021
Shear wave elastography (SWE) is an ultrasound technique to obtain soft tissue mechanical properties. The aim of this study was to establish the reliability of SWE in young children, define reference data on healthy ones and compare the shear modulus of ...

Not all Forms of Muscle Hypertonia Worsen With Fatigue: A Pilot Study in Para Swimmers

Frontiers in Physiology, 2022
In hypertonic muscles of patients with upper motor neuron syndrome (UMNS), investigation with surface electromyography (EMG) with the muscle in a shortened position and during passive muscle stretch allows to identify two patterns underlying hypertonia ...

The Evaluation of “Spasticity” [PDF]

Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences / Journal Canadien des Sciences Neurologiques, 1987
ABSTRACT:Lesions of the upper motor neuron cause: 1. Alterations in segmental reflex activity. For example increased tendon jerks and velocity dependent stretch reflexes ("spasticity"), clonus, the clasp knife response, release of flexion reflexes and extensor plantar reflexes. 2.

A companion to the preclinical common data elements for phenotyping seizures and epilepsy in rodent models. A report of the TASK3‐WG1C: Phenotyping working group of the ILAE/AES joint translational task force

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Epilepsy is a heterogeneous disorder characterized by spontaneous seizures and behavioral comorbidities. The underlying mechanisms of seizures and epilepsy across various syndromes lead to diverse clinical presentation and features. Similarly, animal models of epilepsy arise from numerous dissimilar inciting events.

Vibrations and spasticity [PDF]

Journal of Advanced Health Care, 2021
This experimental study aims to evaluate and validate the effectiveness of the proposed application method in the use of “focused mechanical vibrations” for the treatment of muscle spasticity. The basic concept of this study is that in spasticity, by specifically stimulating some clearly identifiable trigger points of the body, better results are ...

Double gene mutations of LRSAM1 and REEP1 and a new REEP1 mutation site found in a patient with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis with subjective paresthesia: A case report

Ibrain, EarlyView., 2023
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by selective degeneration of upper and lower motor neurons. Leucine‐rich repeats and sterility α mutations in motif 1 (LRSAM1) has been proven to be involved in the pathogenesis of ALS.
