Filter by:It was hypothesized that: There is no statistical significant effects of a scapular vupward rotation exercise (SURE) on scapular alignment in subjects with scapular downward rotation syndrome (SDRS). There is no statistical significant effects a scapular upward rotation exercise (SURE) on mechanosensitivity of the upper limb peripheral nervous system in a depressed scapular alignment subjects. There is no statistical significant effects a scapular upward rotation exercise (SURE) on pressure Pain Threshold in a depressed scapular alignment subjects. There is no statistical significant effects a scapular upward rotation exercise (SURE)on Strenght Duration Curve measurement in a depressed scapular alignment subjects.
The main objective is to evaluate the effects of action-observation training on tongue strength in brain-damaged patients.
The main objective of this research is to see the effect of two mental practice techniques on static and dynamic balance.
Heterozygous mutations in ADCY5 induce hyperactivity of striatal adenylate cyclase type 5 (AC5), manifesting as early-onset hyperkinetic movement disorders. Numerous treatments have been tried without much efficacy thus far. Two patients from the same family reported efficacy of caffeine on paroxysmal episodes, both to prevent episodes and to reduce their duration (efficacy estimated to be around 80%), which was specific to caffeine as it was reproduced with caffeine citrate capsules. Interestingly, there is a rationale underlying this observation. Indeed, caffeine is an antagonist of adenosine A2A receptors (A2AR), which activate AC5 and are localized preferentially in striatal neurons that express dopamine receptors D2 .Caffeine therefore likely induces AC5 inhibition, and thus clinical improvement in patients with hyperactivity of this protein. This observation has been recently published in2019. The investigators will collect preliminary data by interviewing our neurologist and neuropediatric colleagues, in France and abroad since it is a rare disease, on the effect of caffeine on motor symptoms and global clinical status in their ADCY5 patients.
Music that is familiar and preferred by patients has been shown to heighten neuroplasticity and can mitigate these disabilities. Therefore, this study seeks to explore the effect of providing patient preferred music to patients in the very early post stroke period (within 24 hours of a left cerebral artery stroke [LMCA]event) as a complementary modality to usual stroke care.
Heterozygous mutations in the ADCY5 gene cause involuntary early-onset hyperkinetic movements. In addition, patients may have associated psychiatric disorders.There is currently no treatment. As the pathophysiology is linked to ADCY5 hyperactivity, the investigative team has treated patients with caffeine, an antagonist. The investigator wishes to interview patients on the effect of caffeine on their motor symptoms and their overall clinical condition, and on the possible existence of psychiatric comorbidities using phone questionnaires.
There are several factors influencing on balance and movement in individuals with stroke, such as previous stroke, age, bowel incontinence, visuospatial problem. However, those factors involving in postural control and voluntary movement were studied in subacute and chronic phase of stroke, but not in the acute period. The aim of the study is to determine factors for postural control and voluntary movement in individuals with acute stroke and then follow at the first, third, and sixth month.
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover, proof-of-concept Phase 2 study to test efficacy and safety of AV-101 (L-4-chlorokynurenine) in Parkinson's Disease subjects with levodopa-induced dyskinesia. The trial will be conducted in two treatment periods, in which each treatment period will consist of 14 days. The two treatment periods will be separated by a 1-week washout period. During the first treatment period, subjects meeting all eligibility criteria will be randomly assigned to receive either 1440 mg AV-101 or placebo in a 1:1 ratio. AV-101 or placebo will be administered BID for 14 days (every 12 hours). After the washout period, all subjects will be crossed over to receive the alternate treatment during the second treatment period (14-day period). On the last day of each treatment period (Visit 4 [Day 14] and Visit 7 [Day35]), subjects will be assessed in clinic while in the practically "off" state and will receive the morning dose of the study drug at the clinic. This will be followed, within 25-30 minutes, by oral administration of a dose of levodopa that is 150% of the subject's normal dose. Assessments of dyskinesia and PD motor symptoms will be performed before and after levodopa/carbidopa administration.
Individuals with stroke show abnormal movement pattern of upper limb. The movement pattern needs to be corrected. There are several methods to train normal movement. Exercise with technology is an active movement and affects sensory and cognitive systems. It may benefit to individuals with stroke in training.
This study is a multicenter, prospective cohort study of patients diagnosed with primary ciliary dyskinesia, the clinical information of recruited patients, including clinical manifestations, lung function, chest imaging, quality of life and other indicators, will be followed for 10 years.
