OBJECTIVE
Global synkinesis (GS), or motor irradiation, is an involuntary movement associated with the coactivation of numerous muscles in one limb when the opposite limb is active. The electromyographic (EMG) patterns of people with stroke and people who were healthy were analyzed to characterize
BACKGROUND
Post-stroke movement disorders occur in up to 4% of stroke patients. The movements can be complex and difficult to classify, which presents challenges when attempting to understand the clinical phenomenology and provide appropriate treatment.
METHODS
We present a 64-year-old male with an
A 33-year-old man developed a complete third nerve palsy in the setting of acute bacterial endocarditis. MRI revealed an ischemic stroke in the cerebral peduncle involving the third nerve fascicle. Subsequently, he was observed to have paradoxic elevation of the eyelid on adduction and downgaze. To
BACKGROUND
Lesions of the pyramidal system are characterized by their effects on qualitative aspects of movement. One of the features of pyramidal defects is the presence of associated movements or synkinesis.
METHODS
We present a case with residual associated electromyographic (EMG) response in a
[Purpose] Hemiplegia occurs when posturing with a dominant flexor tone is present in the upper limbs, thus preventing increased abnormal tone. We attempted to improve the side effects of this condition using elbow re-positioning with non-elastic tape; this method is used to modulate abnormal muscle
BACKGROUND
The presence of unintentional muscular activity, with or without overt movement, in the homologue muscle contralateral to the limb being activated voluntarily, has been documented in both healthy and hemi-paretic populations. This activity has been termed contra-lateral motor irradiation
Pain due to cortical-subcortical lesions may be paroxystic or permanent. The latter may be strictly similar to that derived from the selective involvement of the thalamic ventroposterior nucleus. We report a 21 year-old right handed patient who in a cranial-encephalic injury had a counter-stroke
BACKGROUND
Functional disability of stroke patients, especially limb motor function, seriously impacts the quality of life. Although acupuncture at GB34 (Yang-ling-quan) has been shown to be effective on the recovery of motor function, the underlying mechanism has not been well
