Alternating Hemiplegia of Childhood (AHC) is characterised by paroxysmal hemiplegic episodes and seizures. Remission of hemiplegia upon sleep is a clinical diagnostic feature of AHC. We investigated w...
We retrospectively performed EEG spectral analysis in five adults with AHC and twelve age-/gender-matched epilepsy controls. Five-minute epochs of hemiplegic episodes and ten-minute epochs of four sle...
We found 1) hemispheric differences in pre-ictal and ictal spectral power (p = 0.034), during AHC hemiplegic episodes 2) 22% reduced beta power (p = 0.017) and 26% increased delta power (p = 0.025) du...
There are hemispheric differences in spectral power preceding hemiplegic episodes in adults with AHC, and sleep is disrupted....
Spectral EEG changes may be a potential predictive tool for AHC hemiplegic episodes. Significantly disrupted sleep is a feature of AHC....
Children with hemiplegia often demonstrate gait deviations including increased variability and asymmetry. Step-to-step gait variability decreases over childhood and increases in the presence of neurol...
Ten children (11.2 +/- 4.1 years) with hemiparetic gait due to stroke were recruited for a small prospective pilot intervention study. Participants walked at self-selected speed over an instrumented w...
There were no differences in raw eGVI or eGVI...
We suggest that eGVI values in children be converted to z-scores or otherwise age-normalized so as not to inflate the degree of variability reported in clinical pediatric populations. Future work with...
The sense of body ownership, the feeling that one's body belongs to oneself, is a crucial subjective conscious experience of one's body. Recent methodological advances regarding crossmodal illusions h...
A 69-year-old man suffered from hemiplegia of the left limb due to hypoglycaemia. After 3 h of oral supplementation with sugar water, the patient recovered from hemiplegia but then presented symptoms ...
Understanding and validating the science behind traditional diagnostic methods is a niche area to be explored. Iris diagnosis is one such valuable diagnostic tool used in Naturopathy. In the current s...
We recruited 35 patients with hemiplegia which includes both genders. Iris image was captured by Angel Kiss New 5.0MP Iridology Camera with Pro Iris Analysis Software. Lesion characters, such as open ...
Majority of the included patients were male (n=30) and the mean age of the patients was 46 years. The most common iris lesions noted were radii solaris and intestinal crypt in the cerebrum and cerebel...
Two common lesions observed in patients with hemiplegia are radii solaris and intestinal crypt, corresponding to the cerebrum and cerebellum regions of the iris. Future studies with larger sample size...
Sjögren's syndrome manifests with a wide variety of neurologic symptoms. This case report presents a 53-year-old woman with Sjögren's syndrome associated with temporal hemiplegia, which was suspected ...
This study aimed to investigate the surgical outcomes in elderly (age ≥65) patients with hip fractures combined with hemiplegia and compare them with the surgical outcomes in elderly patients with hip...
A total of 761 elderly patients with hip fractures who were treated between January 2013 and December 2019 were enrolled in this study using a retrospective study design. The patients were divided int...
The average length of hospital stay in the hemiplegia group (13.51 ± 10.17 days) was longer than in the non-hemiplegia group (12.60 ± 7.83 days), but the difference was not statistically significant (...
Hemiplegia can increase the incidence of postoperative complications and 30-day and one-year mortalities in patients with hip fractures....
Stiff knee gait (SKG) is defined as decreased knee flexion during the swing phase. It is one of the most common gait disorders following stroke. Knee extensor spasticity is commonly accepted as the pr...
The measurement of gait is likely influenced by walking speed in children with hemiplegia, but this relationship is not well characterized....
What is the influence of walking speed on spatiotemporal and symmetry measures of gait in children with hemiplegia, with consideration of side and footwear condition?...
Children with hemiparetic gait due to stroke were recruited for a small pilot intervention study. Participants walked at self-selected and fast speeds while barefoot and while wearing shoes. Data from...
A total of 820 steps were analyzed from ten children (11.2 ± 4.1 years). Walking velocity significantly influenced all spatiotemporal measures of gait. As speed increased, step length increased and al...
Our observations suggest that walking speed alone influences the spatiotemporal measurement of gait in children with hemiplegia and should be considered in the interpretation of walking function. Yet,...
Spatial representation is crucial when it comes to everyday interaction with the environment. Different factors influence spatial perception, such as body movements and vision. Accordingly, training s...
