Epidemiological investigation of yips among Golfers in Japan
Objective: To investigate epidemiological aspects of yips among golfers in Japan. Background: Yips are known as a set of conditions associated with an intermittent motor…Quantitative measurements of deficit type and severity in focal embouchure dystonia
Objective: To identify acoustic variables that characterize focal embouchure dystonia (FED) and use these measures to quantify FED severity. Background: FED is a focal task-specific…Electromyographic and kinematic patterns in runner’s dystonia
Objective: To review electromyographic and kinematic patterns in patients with runner's dystonia (RD). Background: RD is a task-specific focal limb dystonia, preferentially involving the lower…Clinical effects of pallidal stimulation in dystonia are quantitatively related to intracortical inhibition
Objective: To distinguish between patients with dystonia according to the clinical outcome of pallidal stimulation (GPi DBS) using intracortical inhibition of the motor cortex assessed…In-vivo free-water imaging and functional connectivity in a knock-in mouse model of DYT1 dystonia
Objective: To examine in-vivo functional connectivity and free-water diffusion imaging in dystonic mutant Tor1a knock-in (DYT1) and wild-type (WT) control mice. We test the hypothesis…Assessing vestibular function in individuals with cervical dystonia and the effects of botulinum toxin treatment
Objective: To determine if individuals with cervical dystonia have altered vestibular function compared to unaffected individuals, and whether botulinum toxin treatment alters those variables. Background:…Differences in processing proprioceptive input from the neck muscles may explain the benefit from sensory tricks in patients with idiopathic cervical dystonia
Objective: We used a paradigm of neck vibration to test the hypothesis that the sensory trick (ST), which is used by some patients with idiopathic…Striatal postsynaptic dysfunction in X-linked dystonia-parkinsonism is associated with disease progression
Objective: To assess pre- and postsynaptic dopaminergic function in X-linked dystonia-parkinsonism (XDP). Background: X-linked dystonia-parkinsonism (XDP) is a neurodegenerative adult-onset movement disorder associated with striatal…Multi-parameter imaging in hemidystonia responsive to GPi deep brain stimulation
Objective: To present i) imaging data in a case of hemidystonia using structural (diffusion tensor imaging-DTI and fiber tractography-FT) and functional (functional MRI-fMRI and magnetoencephalography-MEG)…Chewing-induced blepharospasm in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: Report and discuss a rare presentation of BS. Background: Dystonia is described in untreated Parkinson's disease (PD) patients and is also one of the…
