Early and Progressive Spinal Cord Atrophy in Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 1
Movement Disorders, EarlyView.Abstract Background Spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 (SCA1) is a rare, autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive cerebellar and brainstem degeneration. Previous studies have shown that spinal cord atrophy is also a key aspect of SCA1 neuropathology.

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.

With Regard to the Expression Status of Sarcolemmal Aquaporin 4 in Human Muscular Dystrophies
Neurology and Clinical Neuroscience, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Human muscular dystrophies are inherited muscle‐wasting diseases caused by the various kinds of gene mutations. Among them, Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a representative type. Before the discovery of the causative dystrophin gene of DMD, the fragile myofiber plasma membrane was thought to be the trigger of myofiber necrosis in DMD ...
