Presynaptic Congenital Myasthenic Syndromes
ABSTRACT Presynaptic congenital myasthenic syndromes (CMS) encompass a large number of rare neurologic disorders caused by impaired release of acetylcholine (ACh) from motor nerve terminals. There are two main groups of presynaptic CMS: one in which the amount of ACh in synaptic vesicles (SV) is diminished and another in which the mechanism of synaptic

Muscle‐Specific Kinase Signaling and Its Therapeutic Potential
ABSTRACT The function of the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is compromised in many neuromuscular diseases (NMDs) such as autoimmune or congenital myasthenia gravis (MG), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), and muscular dystrophies.

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

ABSTRACT Peripheral nerve injuries (PNIs) are a common cause of long‐term motor and sensory disability despite advances in microsurgical repair. Functional recovery following PNI depends not only on axonal regeneration, but also on preservation of distal nerve pathways, maintenance of neuromuscular junction integrity, prevention of irreversible muscle ...

Targeted Muscle Reinnervation for Intuitive Prosthetic Control
ABSTRACT The convergence of medical and technological advances has led to a substantial expansion of therapeutic approaches for patients with limb amputations. Targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) is one of the strategies to improve control of bionic arms and has been applied for more than two decades. Through surgical rewiring of the nerves responsible
