Investigation of the influence of the parieto-premotor network on the motor cortex in writer’s cramp using transcranial magnetic stimulation
Objective: We aimed to study the influence of the parieto-premotor network on the motor cortex in patients with writer's cramp. Background: The parietal and premotor…Selective M4 antagonism potentiates L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia in MPTP-treated common marmosets
Objective: To determine the role of M4 muscarinic receptors in the expression of L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia (LID) and dystonia in the 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-treated common marmosets. Background:…Changes in handwriting following repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation over pre-motor cortex in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To observe changes in handwriting following administration of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) over pre-motor cortex (pre-MC) in patients with PD. Background: Patients with…Quantification of postural stability in Parkinson’s disease patients utilizing mobile technology
Objective: To validate the use of a mobile device and an associated biomechanical outcome to objectively quantify postural stability in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. Background:…Comparison of mental practice and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation in sisters with cerebellar atrophy
Objective: To compare the effect of training between Mental Practice (MP) and Physical Practice (PP) on the strength of the flexor muscle of fingers in…The relationship between cognitive aspects (education status, executive function and verbal fluency) and motor aspects (balance and gait) in patients with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: The aim of this study was to verify if there would be correlations between cognitive variables (educational status, executive function, verbal fluency) and motor…Abnormal motor sequence representation in dystonia
Objective: To identify behavioral differences of motor sequence representation in persons with dystonia. Background: Dystonia is a movement disorder characterized by variable twisting postures and…May early introduction of dopaminergic agonists improve simptoms after ischemic stroke? The interim report
Objective: To evaluate the effect of bromocriptine on motor impairment, functional disabilit and cognitive impairment 5, 10, and 15 of bromocriptine therapy in patients with…Contributions of sensorial feedback to gait in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To evaluate the integration of optic flow and proprioception when people with Parkinson's disease (PD), under and without dopaminergic medication effects, and matched-control group…Evaluating Parkinsonian motor features via the routine use of consumer electronics – neuroQWERTY
Objective: Our goal was to evaluate the validity and reproducibility of a novel metric, neuroQWERTY index (nQi), to characterize PD's motor component. Background: The motor…
