Segmentation of neck muscles using ultrasound in cervical dystonia
Objective: Identify neck muscle boundaries using real-time ultrasound in cervical dystonia and relate imaging data to neck muscle structure and function. Background: Identification of individual…Combined EMG and endoscopy guided botulinum toxin injection of the longus capitis muscle in cervical dystonia with anterocaput
Objective: To describe a safe and well tolerated technique of botulinum toxin (BnTA) injection into the longus capitis muscle (LCM) in a patient with anterocaput…Toward an automated, video-based method to measure motor severity in cervical dystonia
Objective: The objective of this study was to compare options for machine learning-based video analysis software for measuring motor severity in cervical dystonia (CD). Background:…Clinical and demographics of cervical dystonia related to the direction of the neck movement
Objective: The objectives of this report is to survey whether the type of torticollis (i.e. rotation, retrocolis and anterocolis) is related to the clinical characteristics…Improvement of foot progression in cervical dystonia using osteopathic manipulative medicine
Objective: To determine if osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM) can improve gait biomechanics in people with cervical dystonia (CD). Background: CD is a neurological disorder characterized…Patient satisfaction with flexible botulinum toxin injection intervals – Preliminary results of a telephone survey
Objective: To evaluate satisfaction with flexible injection intervals in patients receiving Botulinum toxin therapy at our outpatient clinic. Background: Botulinum toxin therapy (BoNT) for muscular…Exploring the brainstem functions in cervical dystonia
Objective: To explore the exteroceptive brainstem reflexes in patients with cervical dystonia. Background: Dysfunction of the inhibitory components along the motor system has been reported…Unilateral pallidotomy for cervical dystonia
Objective: We investigated the validity of unilateral pallidotomy for cervical dystonia using severity scale of Toronto Western Spasmodic Torticollis Rating Scale (TWSTRS, range: 0-35). Background:…Sensory tricks in primary blepharospasm and cervical dystonia
Objective: To study the frequency, types, phenomenology and effectiveness of sensory tricks in primary blepharospasm and cervical dystonia patients. Background: Sensory tricks or geste antagoniste…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…
