Seated balance is impaired in patients with idiopathic cervical dystonia
Objective: To investigate whether seated balance is impaired in patients with idiopathic Cervical Dystonia (CD). Background: Idiopathic CD is a movement disorder in which involuntary…Impaired response times to luminance stimuli in dystonia patients indicate disordered superior colliculus processing
Objective: We hypothesise that patients with adult onset isolated focal dystonia (AOIFD) will have slower reaction times to luminance stimuli versus healthy controls due to…A dynamic causal model of the superior colliculus: Inhibitory activity increases with the temporal discrimination threshold
Objective: To investigate if abnormalities observed in the putamen of unaffected first-degree relatives (of cervical dystonia patients) with abnormal temporal discrimination thresholds (TDT) are a…Investigation of head tremor in cervical dystonia: Novel application of virtual reality head mounted display, the oculus rift
Objective: We aim to characterise tremulous head movements in cervical dystonia during eccentric left- and right-going head rotations. Background: Cervical dystonia is the most common…Mental simulation of whole-body movements in patients with isolated cervical dystonia
Objective: To explore mental transformation of whole-body images in patients with isolated cervical dystonia (CD). Background: Mental transformation of bodies or of body-part images is…Dystonia, tremor, and dystonic tremor
Objective: To provide guidance for current debates regarding the nosology of tremor in dystonia. Background: Dystonia is defined as a disorder with sustained or intermittent…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…Predictors of onabotulinumtoxinA treatment response in patients with cervical dystonia
Objective: Data from CD PROBE (Cervical Dystonia Patient Registry for Observation of OnabotulinumtoxinA Efficacy), an observational, multicenter, prospective clinical registry, were analyzed to try to…Frequency and types of dystonia in Wilson’s disease patients
Objective: To establish the frequency and types of dystonia in our cohort of Wilson's disease patients. Background: Wilson's disease (WD) belongs to movement disorders with…Association analysis of NALCN polymorphisms rs1338041 and rs61973742 in a Chinese population with isolated cervical dystonia
Objective: The present study was carried out to examine the associations between the two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) rs1338041 and rs61973742 in the NALCN gene…
