  2. 6. Functional brain imaging of sensorimotor dysfunction and restoration : investigations of discomplete spinal cord injury and deep brain stimulation for essential tremor

    Author : Amar Awad; Johan Eriksson; Patric Blomstedt; Richard Levi; Lars Nyberg; Rick Helmich; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Sensorimotor control; fMRI; discomplete spinal cord injury; essential tremor; deep brain stimulation; cerebello-thalamo-cerebral circuit; Physiology; fysiologi; neurokirurgi; Neurosurgery; Neurology; neurologi; rehabiliteringsmedicin; Rehabilitation Medicine;

    Abstract : The nervous system exists to generate adaptive behaviour by processing sensory input from the body and the environment in order to produce appropriate motor output, and vice versa. Consequently, sensorimotor dysfunction is the basis of disability in most neurological pathologies. READ MORE

  4. 7. Swallowing function in patients with Parkinson’s disease and Deep Brain Stimulation

    Author : Stina Sundstedt; Katarina Olofsson; Jan Linder; Erik Nordh; Olle Ekberg; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Parkinson’s disease; swallowing; deep brain stimulation; subthalamic nucleus; caudal zona incerta; swallowing quality of life; oto-rhino-laryngologi; Oto-Rhino-Laryngology;

    Abstract : BackgroundParkinson’s disease (PD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases in Europe. Besides motor dysfunction, PD is characterized by several non-motor and secondary motor features, such as weight change, sialorrhea, constipation and swallowing problems. READ MORE

  5. 8. Deep Brain Stimulation Atlases in Movement Disorders : from Patient-Specific to Group Analysis

    Author : Dorian Vogel; Karin Wårdell; Simone Hemm; Anders Eklund; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an established method for symptom control in movement disorders such as Parkinson’s disease (PD) and essential tremor (ET). The treatment consists in delivering electrical stimulation in the deep brain via multi-contact electrodes. READ MORE

  6. 9. Balance performance in people with Parkinson’s disease. Effects of subthalamic Deep Brain Stimulation

    Author : Maria H Nilsson; Aktivt och hälsosamt åldrande; []
    Keywords : Parkinson s disease; Deep Brain Stimulation; subthalamic nucleus; balance; falls.; fear of falling;

    Abstract : The overall aims of this work were to investigate if Deep Brain Stimulation in the subthalamic nuclei (STN) affected balance, fear of falling and falls in people with Parkinson's disease. The effect of STN stimulation alone was investigated in Papers I, II and III. READ MORE

  7. 10. Deep brain stimulation of the posterior subthalamic area in the treatment of movement disorders

    Author : Anders Fytagoridis; Patric Blomstedt; Joachim Krauss; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Deep brain stimulation; Movement disorders; Posterior subthalamic area; Zona incerta; Prelemniscal radiations; Tremor; Essential tremor; Parkinson s disease; neurokirurgi; Neurosurgery;

    Abstract : Background: The posterior subthalamic area (PSA) is essentially composed of the caudal Zona incerta and the prelemniscal radiation. Subthalamotomy in the PSA was renowned for its effectiveness in alleviating movement disorders and particularly tremor. READ MORE
