  2. 1. Development of functional asymmetries in young infants : A sensory-motor approach

    Author : Erik Domellöf; Louise Rönnqvist; Jacqueline Fagard; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Laterality; development; handedness; human infant; stepping response; placing response; head turning; arm movement; reaching; kinematic parameters; intralimb coordination; Psychology; Psykologi;

    Abstract : Human functional laterality, typically involving a right-sided preference in most sensory-motor activities, is still a poorly understood issue. This is perhaps particularly true in terms of what underlying mechanisms that may govern lateral biases, as well as the developmental origins and course of events. READ MORE

  4. 2. Description and measurement of sensory symptoms in autism spectrum

    Author : Marie Elwin; Lars Kjellin; Agneta Schröder; Agneta Nydén; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Autism spectrum; sensory; perception; qualitative research; scale development; scale validation; sensory clusters; Medicin; Medicine;

    Abstract : Unusual responses to sensory stimuli have been reported in nearly all children with autism spectrum conditions (ASC). A few studies on adults indicate that the sensory and perceptual problems persist into adulthood. READ MORE

  5. 3. Neural progenitors for sensory and motor repair

    Author : Jan Hoeber; Elena Kozlova; Linda Greensmith; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Regenerative Neurobiology; Stem cells; Sensory regeneration; Spinal cord injury; Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis; Neurodegeneration; Oxidative Stress; Medical Science; Medicinsk vetenskap;

    Abstract : Injury and neurodegenerative conditions of the spinal cord can lead to paralysis and loss of sensation. Cell therapeutic approaches can restore sensory innervation of the spinal cord following injury and protect spinal cord cells from degeneration. READ MORE

  6. 4. Sensory-motor regulation of human biting behavior

    Author : Krister Svensson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In order to control oral motor behavior, such as biting and chewing, we rely on information provided by a variety of sense organs, including periodontal mechanoreceptors (PMRs). The PMRs, located among the collagen fibers in the periodontal ligament that attaches the root of the tooth to the alveolar bone, send signals to the central nervous system when the surrounding collagen fibers are stretched by loading of the tooth.

  7. 5. BACK TO ONESELF Sensory Motor Learning applied in patients with nonspecific chronic low back pain

    Author : Christina Schön-Ohlsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Chronic nonspecific low back pain; Sensory Motor Learning; SML; Posturo-Locomotion-Manipulation PLM test; Qualitative method; Focus group study; Health promotion; Feldenkrais method; Exercise therapy;

    Abstract : Back pain is an endemic problem affecting one in five adults every year. Even though only 10 % of all cases of back pain become chronic it is one of the largest health problems in industrialized societies. READ MORE
