  1. 1. Multidimensional Aspects of Dystonia : Description and Physiotherapy Management

    Författare :Lena Zetterberg; Birgitta Lindmark; Sten-Magnus Aquilonius; Britta Lindström; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; disability; dystonia; health; movement analysis; physiotherapy; quality of life; Physiotherapy; Sjukgymnastik fysioterapi;

    Sammanfattning : Aims: The overall aim of this research was to increase the knowledge about dystonia by identifying factors that influence self-reported quality of life and health in this disorder and to determine what factors predict disability. A further aim was to develop an objective outcome measure for quantifying the movement dysfunction in cervical dystonia (CD) and evaluate effects of physiotherapy. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Striatal pathways in dyskinesia and dystonia

    Författare :Laura Andreoli; Basala gangliernas patofysiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Striatum; Dystonia; L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia; DREADD; Mouse model; Dopamine; dopamine receptor;

    Sammanfattning : Purposeful and well-coordinated movements depend on the control exerted by dopamine (DA) on the basal ganglia (BG) network. Accordingly, dysfunctions or lesions of the dopaminergic system in the BG can result in an overall poverty and slowness of movement, cardinal features of Parkinson´s disease (PD), or in dyskinesias, exaggerated and involuntary movements resulting from L-DOPA pharmacotherapy.

  4. 3. On the Causal Mechanisms of Stuttering

    Författare :Per A Alm; Lund Neurologi; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; stuttering; neurofysiologi; neuropsykologi; neurophysiology; Neurologi; dystonia; neuropsychology; Neurology; basal ganglia;

    Sammanfattning : Stuttering is one of the most common speech disorders. However, the etiology is poorly understood, and is likely to be heterogeneous. The aim of this thesis was to clarify causal mechanisms, focusing the brain. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Studies on pathophysiology and effects of botulinumtoxin in focal dystonia

    Författare :Tomas Odergren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The pathophysiology of focal dystonia, such as cervical dystonia (CD) and writer's cramp (WR) is far from determined and the development of effective treatment is thus impeded. The dystonia in WR is often action-specific, and most dystonic patients experience an action-induced worsening of the symptoms. LÄS MER
