Paraplegia
Severe or complete loss of motor function in the lower extremities and lower portions of the trunk. This condition is most often associated with SPINAL CORD DISEASES, although BRAIN DISEASES; PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DISEASES; NEUROMUSCULAR DISEASES; and MUSCULAR DISEASES may also cause bilateral leg weakness.
Spastic Paraplegia, Hereditary
A group of inherited diseases that share similar phenotypes but are genetically diverse. Different genetic loci for autosomal recessive, autosomal dominant, and x-linked forms of hereditary spastic paraplegia have been identified. Clinically, patients present with slowly progressive distal limb weakness and lower extremity spasticity. Peripheral sensory neurons may be affected in the later stages of the disease. (J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry 1998 Jan;64(1):61-6; Curr Opin Neurol 1997 Aug;10(4):313-8)

The locked-in syndrome is characterized by quadriplegia in combination with cranial muscle paralysis. Consciousness is spared and the only retained voluntary motor activity may be limited eye movements. This condition is usually caused by a lesion in the upper BRAIN STEM which injures the descending cortico-spinal and cortico-bulbar tracts.
Spinal Cord Compression

Clinical features vary with the site of inflammation, but include cranial neuropathies, radiculopathies, and myelopathies. (From Joynt, Clinical Neurology, 1997, Ch48, p25)
Tabes Dorsalis
Parenchymatous NEUROSYPHILIS marked by slowly progressive degeneration of the posterior columns, posterior roots, and ganglia of the spinal cord. The condition tends to present 15 to 20 years after the initial infection and is characterized by lightening-like pains in the lower extremities, URINARY INCONTINENCE; ATAXIA; severely impaired position and vibratory sense, abnormal gait (see GAIT DISORDERS, NEUROLOGIC), OPTIC ATROPHY; Argyll-Robertson pupils, hypotonia, hyperreflexia, and trophic joint degeneration (Charcot's Joint; see ARTHROPATHY, NEUROGENIC).

Energy cost of propulsion in standard and ultralight wheelchairs in people with spinal cord injuries. (1/1047)

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Wheelchair- and subject-related factors influence the efficiency of wheelchair propulsion. The purpose of this study was to compare wheelchair propulsion in ultralight and standard wheelchairs in people with different levels of spinal cord injury. SUBJECTS: Seventy-four subjects (mean age=26.2 years, SD=7.14, range=17-50) with spinal cord injury resulting in motor loss (30 with tetraplegia and 44 with paraplegia) were studied. METHOD: Each subject propelled standard and ultralight wheelchairs around an outdoor track at self-selected speeds, while data were collected at 4 predetermined intervals. Speed, distance traveled, and oxygen cost (VO2 mL/kg/m) were compared by wheelchair, group, and over time, using a Bonferroni correction. RESULTS: In the ultralight wheelchair, speed and distance traveled were greater for both subjects with paraplegia and subjects with tetraplegia, whereas VO2 was less only for subjects with paraplegia. Subjects with paraplegia propelled faster and farther than did subjects with tetraplegia. CONCLUSION AND DISCUSSION: The ultralight wheelchair improved the efficiency of propulsion in the tested subjects. Subjects with tetraplegia, especially at the C6 level, are limited in their ability to propel a wheelchair.  (+info)

Heart rate during exercise with leg vascular occlusion in spinal cord-injured humans. (2/1047)

Feed-forward and feedback mechanisms are both important for control of the heart rate response to muscular exercise, but their origin and relative importance remain inadequately understood. To evaluate whether humoral mechanisms are of importance, the heart rate response to electrically induced cycling was studied in participants with spinal cord injury (SCI) and compared with that elicited during volitional cycling in able-bodied persons (C). During voluntary exercise at an oxygen uptake of approximately 1 l/min, heart rate increased from 66 +/- 4 to 86 +/- 4 (SE) beats/min in seven C, and during electrically induced exercise at a similar oxygen uptake in SCI it increased from 73 +/- 3 to 110 +/- 8 beats/min. In contrast, blood pressure increased only in C (from 88 +/- 3 to 99 +/- 4 mmHg), confirming that, during exercise, blood pressure control is dominated by peripheral neural feedback mechanisms. With vascular occlusion of the legs, the exercise-induced increase in heart rate was reduced or even eliminated in the electrically stimulated SCI. For C, heart rate tended to be lower than during exercise with free circulation to the legs. Release of the cuff elevated heart rate only in SCI. These data suggest that humoral feedback is of importance for the heart rate response to exercise and especially so when influence from the central nervous system and peripheral neural feedback from the working muscles are impaired or eliminated during electrically induced exercise in individuals with SCI.  (+info)

Airway hyperresponsiveness to ultrasonically nebulized distilled water in subjects with tetraplegia. (3/1047)

The majority of otherwise healthy subjects with chronic cervical spinal cord injury (SCI) demonstrate airway hyperresponsiveness to aerosolized methacholine or histamine. The present study was performed to determine whether ultrasonically nebulized distilled water (UNDW) induces airway hyperresponsiveness and to further elucidate potential mechanisms in this population. Fifteen subjects with SCI, nine with tetraplegia (C4-7) and six with paraplegia (T9-L1), were initially exposed to UNDW for 30 s; spirometry was performed immediately and again 2 min after exposure. The challenge continued by progressively increasing exposure time until the forced expiratory volume in 1 s decreased 20% or more from baseline (PD20) or the maximal exposure time was reached. Five subjects responding to UNDW returned for a second challenge 30 min after inhalation of aerosolized ipratropium bromide (2.5 ml of a 0.6% solution). Eight of nine subjects with tetraplegia had significant bronchoconstrictor responses to UNDW (geometric mean PD20 = 7.76 +/- 7.67 ml), whereas none with paraplegia demonstrated a response (geometric mean PD20 = 24 ml). Five of the subjects with tetraplegia who initially responded to distilled water (geometric mean PD20 = 5.99 +/- 4.47 ml) were not responsive after pretreatment with ipratropium bromide (geometric mean PD20 = 24 ml). Findings that subjects with tetraplegia are hyperreactive to UNDW, a physicochemical agent, combined with previous observations of hyperreactivity to methacholine and histamine, suggest that overall airway hyperresponsiveness in these individuals is a nonspecific phenomenon similar to that observed in patients with asthma. The ability of ipratropium bromide to completely block UNDW-induced bronchoconstriction suggests that, in part, airway hyperresponsiveness in subjects with tetraplegia represents unopposed parasympathetic activity.  (+info)

Anaesthetic management of a woman who became paraplegic at 22 weeks' gestation after a spontaneous spinal cord haemorrhage secondary to a presumed arteriovenous malformation. (4/1047)

A 19-yr-old woman developed a paraplegia with a T10 sensory level at 22 weeks' gestation. The spinal injury was caused by spontaneous bleed of a presumed arteriovenous malformation in the spinal cord. She presented for Caesarean section at term because of the breech position of her fetus. The successful use of a combined spinal epidural-regional anaesthetic is described and the risks of general and regional anaesthesia are discussed.  (+info)

Occurrence of familial spastic paraplegia in only one of monozygous twins. (5/1047)

Three patients who suffer from spastic paraplegia are described who belong to two generations in one family. One of the patients, who has had symptoms and signs for at least 10 years, has a monozygous twin who is unaffected. Using blood groups and chromosomal polymorphisms, the probability of monozygosity is estimated to be 0.99986. The observation of nonpenetrance in familial spastic paraplegia suggests that environmental factors may be involved in provocation and emphasises the need for careful genetic counselling in this and related diseases.  (+info)

Neurotoxic effects of 2,5-hexanedione on normal and neurofilament-deficient quail. (6/1047)

The neurotoxic effects of 2,5-hexanedione (2,5-HD) were investigated using neurofilament (NF)-deficient (Quv) Japanese quail in comparison with normal Japanese quail. Both Quv and normal Japanese quail were inoculated intraperitoneally with 350 mg/kg/day 2,5-HD for 6 consecutive wk. The results of 2,5-HD exposure differed substantially between the 2 strains of Japanese quail. The 2,5-HD-exposed normal quail showed leg paralysis about 4 wk after initiation of dosing. Some treated normal quail fell into dysstasia and died of nutritional disturbances. Histologically, 2,5-HD-treated normal quail had NF-rich axonal swellings and degeneration in the distal parts of the peripheral nerves, spinal cord, and cerebellar peduncles. In contrast, 2,5-HD-injected Quv quail showed tonic convulsion, ataxia gait, severe quivering, and excitation about 2-3 days after administration. Some treated Quv birds died immediately after systemic tonic convulsion, probably because of asphyxia. Although all treated Quv quail showed neurologic signs, there were no recognizable 2,5-HD-induced lesions in the nervous system. After about 4-6 wk of dosing, 2,5-HD induced distal axonopathy in normal quail and acute neurotoxicity in Quv quail.  (+info)

Triplet pregnancy achieved through intracytoplasmic sperm injection with spermatozoa obtained by prostatic massage of a paraplegic patient: case report. (7/1047)

Spinal cord-injured men with ejaculation disorders can have children thanks to assisted reproduction techniques. Spermatozoa from these patients are usually obtained through vibratory stimulation, electroejaculation or by puncturing the seminal duct or the testicle. We present the first published case, as far as we are aware, of spermatozoa obtained through prostatic massage of a paraplegic patient. Penile vibratory stimulation was unsuccessful in this patient. In-vitro fertilization (IVF) with intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) with spermatozoa obtained through electroejaculation was performed at another centre but pregnancy was not achieved. Through prostatic massage, we obtained a total semen volume of 6 ml containing a total count of 12.32x10(6) spermatozoa (6.24x10(6) with tails), 8% of which had motility (graded + and ++); and 16% of which had normal morphology. The spermatozoa obtained were then used to perform IVF with ICSI and a triplet pregnancy was achieved. Prostatic massage appears to be an easy, non-traumatic and risk-free method to obtain spermatozoa from paraplegic patients.  (+info)

In the present study, the six month outcome of Potts paraplegia was best predicted by power, paraplegia score, CMCT, and CSCT (as evaluated by multiple regression analysis). Most of our patients with mild weakness recovered completely (22/24 (91.7%)) as opposed to only 25% (2/8) with severe weakness. In Potts paraplegia, the pathology begins in the anterior portion of the body of the vertebra, and, later, involvement of the adjacent vertebrae may result in wedge collapse.4 Inflammation, oedema, and necrosis may result in abscess formation, which in turn may result in spinal cord compression and focal demyelination of the ascending and descending tracts. Therefore, because of its anterolateral location, the corticospinal tract is likely to be affected more commonly and relatively early in the disease resulting in weakness. Moreover, activities of daily living and paraplegia score are mainly dependent on power. Regression of oedema, abscess, and focal demyelination following antitubercular ...

A Case of Psychogenic Paraplegia Documented During Sleep by Video MonitoringA Case of Psychogenic Paraplegia Documented During Sleep by Video Monitoring
Psychogenic paraplegia is an uncommon conversion disorder characterized by nonorganic loss of motor function precipitated by some type of traumatic event. A 60-year-old man was referred from neurosurgery department with the chief complaint of paraplegia. One year ago he was involved in a motor vehicle accident. Whole spine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and electrophysiological study couldnt explain the organic cause of paraplegia. We decided to observe him during his sleep as we suspected a psychogenic cause for the symptoms. Irregular, non-stereotyped and involuntary leg movements were documented during sleep by video monitoring, and he was diagnosed as psychogenic paraplegia. In conclusion, if a psychogenic paraplegia is suspected, video monitoring during sleep could be recommended as a differentiation tool from neurological disorder. ...

Influence of neurological level of injury in bones, muscles, and fat in paraplegiaInfluence of neurological level of injury in bones, muscles, and fat in paraplegia
We found BMI values to be statistically reduced in both groups with paraplegia compared with group C. Bone strength parameters, BMC, and LM were statistically decreased, but we found no difference in FM compared with group C. The correlation of BMI with FM was statistically significant in groups B and C. In a correlation between DOP and BMI, we found SSI3 - 2 in group B and between BMC and FM in group A. BMI values in all subjects were below the BMI signifying obesity (BMI , 27.8) [21]. Furthermore, in both groups with paraplegia we found lower values of BMI than in group C. BMI is a value that relates body weight to body size and does not distinguish between subjects component of weight (LM and FM). Studies in the literature have proven that FM and body fat percent are greater in paraplegics [8-9]. In a former study, we show that the values of FM in total body composition of a subject with paraplegia compared with a control subject (using whole-body DEXA) were increased. We found BMI to be ...

Postoperative paraplegia is a devastating complication of inferior descending thoracic (iDTA) and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAA) operation. Despite refinements in surgical technique for spinal protection, the risk of postoperative neurologic deficit remains significant. Postoperative paraplegia in endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) was improved remarkably than conventional operations, but this method has an incidence of 5%. Cerebrospinal fluid drainage (CSFD) and dosage of Naloxone might be effective to protect spinal cord from ischemia. But these adjuncts are not clear yet in EVAR. A purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of CSFD on the incidence of spinal cord injury after EVAR of iDTA and TAAA. [Method] 625 patients received EVAR from January 1996 to March 2007. In these patients, the cases that stent-graft ending was inserted in periphery ahead of Th12 were 93. The average age was 73.4 years. Preoperative complications included 10 cases of cerebrovascular disorder, 9 cases ...

Mayo Clinic researchers report encouraging fenestrated and branched EVAR outcomes - Vascular NewsMayo Clinic researchers report encouraging fenestrated and branched EVAR outcomes - Vascular News
Aortic aneurysm remains a significant cause of mortality and morbidity, particularly in aging patients. While most aneurysms involve the abdominal portion of the aorta (abdominal aortic aneurysm; AAA), some develop aneurysmal degeneration more proximally involving the paravisceral and thoracic aorta. Repair of these aneurysms, traditionally performed by open surgical approaches, is considerably more complex with increased rates of death, dialysis and paraplegia following repair.. Endovascular therapies for more proximal aortic aneurysm are evolving and mainly involve the use of fenestrated and branched graft designs. Complications specific to endovascular repair include loss of branch vessel patency (either intraoperatively or in follow-up) and endoleak. It is hoped that collaboration between the advanced vascular surgical teams performing these highly complex procedures and companies developing the products used for implantation will continue to drive success for patients with aortic ...

Muscle and bone in paraplegic patients, and the effect of functional electrical stimulation | Clinical Science | Portland PressMuscle and bone in paraplegic patients, and the effect of functional electrical stimulation | Clinical Science | Portland Press
1. Four paraplegic men volunteered for an exercise programme in which their paralysed quadriceps muscles were stimulated by means of computer-regulated electrical impulses applied through external electrodes. The first exercise regimen consisted of leg raising against a graded load, and during the second regimen exercise took the form of cycling on a modified bicycle ergometer. Each subject exercised five times weekly for 10 weeks during the first regimen and 32 weeks during the second regimen.. 2. Whole-body protein turnover determined by l-[1-13C]leucine during feeding remained constant during both exercise regimens, when expressed either in terms of body weight or fat-free mass derived from measurements of total body potassium.. 3. Quadriceps muscle protein synthetic rate increased during the study, from 0.0712 to 0.0985%/h (P , 0.05), as did quadriceps muscle area assessed by computed tomography.. 4. Bone mineral content for lumbar vertebrae was normal in all four patients, but for the ...

Control strategies for functional electrical stimulation induced cycling - Enlighten: ThesesControl strategies for functional electrical stimulation induced cycling - Enlighten: Theses
Functional Electrical Stimulation cycling ergometers and mobile cycling systems have been developed over a number of years to allow Spinal Cord Injured persons to exercise. Standard able bodied exercise tests are adapted and applied to paraplegic cyclists. A modified recumbent tricycle is instrumentated with an electric motor and sensors to measure cadence and the power produced by the cyclist at the crank. They are then integrated to a stimulator and a laptop computer. The tricycle is mounted on an indoor cycling trainer to provide a novel test bed for the implementation of exercise testing. Controllers are desired to control cadence and power during cycling. Identification of input-output data for the cadence-motor loop and the power-stimulation loop is undertaken. Three muscle groups are stimulated on a paraplegic subject to produce power. Models are identified of the power and cadence systems. Thereafter controllers are designed, via polynomial methods. The results show that the controllers ...

en] Macrophages (monocytes/microglia) could play a critical role in central nervous system repair. We have previously found a synchronism between the regression of spontaneous axonal regeneration and the deactivation of macrophages 3-4 wk after a compression-injury of rat spinal cord. To explore whether reactivation of endogenous macrophages might be beneficial for spinal cord repair, we have studied the effects of granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) in the same paraplegia model and in cell cultures. There was a significant, though transient, improvement of locomotor recovery after a single delayed intraperitoneal injection of 2 mu g GM-CSF, which also increased significantly the expression of Cr3 and brain-derived neurotrophic factor ( BDNF) by macrophages at the lesion site. At longer survival delays, axonal regeneration was significantly enhanced in GMCSF-treated rats. In vitro, BV2 microglial cells expressed higher levels of BDNF in the presence of GM-CSF and neurons ...

I could never have imagined becoming confined to a wheelchair in the prime of my life. I guess thats why Im always striving so hard to leave the chair behind me. Im a father of two beautiful daughters, a proud husband and I live an adventurous, exciting and fulfilling life. Although Im paraplegic, I consider myself a lucky man.. On October 5, 2008, I headed out on a mountain bike ride with one of my colleagues. I was working as a Senior Marketing Manager at Microsoft Canada at the time and like my colleague and I often did, we enjoyed starting our Sunday mornings with some fresh air, adventure and exercise, while still getting home in time for breakfast with our families.. As we approached a makeshift ramp that was set up over a fallen tree, I decided to challenge myself-like I always had in life-to jump off the ramp. Whats the worst that could happen? I said to myself. I soon found out.. A few short minutes later, I was lying on the ground. My bike had landed on the front wheel and ...

After intensive hospital hopping I have one piece of advice for all Paraplegics: no matter what illness or disease needs to be treated - your paraplegia must first be addressed; it has absolute priority! Instead of selecting an alleged special rehabilitation clinic, rather chose a hospital that you trust and make it your preference. Those specialty places might not be familiar with paraplegia and are easily overwhelmed. If you cant make it out of bed on your own, maybe due to a decline of your overall condition, you have lost..

Conclusion For most symptomatic spinal CM lesions, microsurgical resection is the treatment of choice when feasible. Microsurgical resection controls further bleeding and can prevent further neurological deterioration. Surgical resection is usually performed six weeks after hemorrhage to allow for resolution of cord edema, and for the development of a gliotic plane between the CM and surface of the cord via which resection may be performed.

Abstract: Object: The efficacy of olfactory mucosa autograft (OMA) for chronic spinal cord injury has been reported. New activity in response to voluntary effort has been documented by electromyography (EMG), but the emergence of motor evoked potential (MEP) reflecting electrophysiological conductivity in the central nervous system, including the corticospinal pathway, after OMA, and the best indications for OMA, have not been clarified. Here, we report the emergence of MEPs after OMA and offer recom-mendations for appropriate indications based on the presence of involuntary muscle spasm (IMS). We used analysis of MEP to examine the efficacy of OMA for patients with complete paraplegia due to chronic spinal cord injury. To clarify the indications for OMA, we investigated the association of IMS and efficacy of OMA. Methods: Four patients, 3 men and 1 woman, were enrolled. The mean age of the cases was 30.3 ± 9.5 years (range, 19 to 40 years). All 4 cases were American Spinal Injury Association ...

Direct brain control of overground walking in those with paraplegia due to spinal cord injury (SCI) has not been achieved. Invasive brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) may provide a permanent solution to this problem by directly linking the brain to lower extremity prostheses. To justify the pursuit of such invasive systems, the feasibility of BCI controlled overground walking should first be established in a noninvasive manner. To accomplish this goal, we developed an electroencephalogram (EEG)-based BCI to control a functional electrical stimulation (FES) system for overground walking and assessed its performance in an individual with paraplegia due to SCI. An individual with SCI (T6 AIS B) was recruited for the study and was trained to operate an EEG-based BCI system using an attempted walking/idling control strategy. He also underwent muscle reconditioning to facilitate standing and overground walking with a commercial FES system. Subsequently, the BCI and FES systems were integrated and the

Pure familial spastic paraplegias (FSP) are neurodegenerative disorders that are clinically characterized by progressive spasticity of the lower limbs and are inherited as autosomal dominant (DFSP) or autosomal recessive (RFSP) traits. The primary defect in FSP is unknown. Genetic linkage analysis was applied to five RFSP families from Tunisia. In four of these five families tight linkage of the RFSP locus was established to the chromosome 8 markers, D8S260, D8S166, D8S285, PLAT, and D8S279. The RFSP locus in the fifth family was not linked to these markers which provided evidence of genetic locus heterogeneity in RFSP. Identification of the RFSP gene on chromosome 8 will help in understanding the genetic factors in motor neuron degeneration.

hereditary spastic paraplegiahereditary spastic paraplegia
Spastic Paraplegia 47 doesnt roll off the tongue. The name is complicated and challenging, much like SPG47 itself. When I tell healthcare providers my 3-year-old daughters diagnosis, I take a deep breath and wait for the inevitable question: What, exactly, is that?. More than 70 types of Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia (HSP) have been identified to date; almost all are neurodegenerative. At best, HSP causes distress and disruption; at worst, it has devastating, potentially life-threatening consequences. Its pure form impairs the lower extremities, causing extreme spasticity and weakness. Its complicated form - like our daughter Robbies - also impacts systemic and/or neurologic function. Many HSP sub-types have been diagnosed in only a handful of people worldwide, leaving affected families feeling lost and disconnected. …. ...

The hereditary spastic paraplegias are a heterogeneous group of degenerative disorders that are clinically classified as either pure with predominant lower limb spasticity, or complex where spastic paraplegia is complicated with additional neurological features, and are inherited in autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive or X-linked patterns. Genetic defects have been identified in over 40 ...

In 22 families with the pure form of hereditary spastic paraplegia inheritance was autosomal dominant in 19 and autosomal recessive in three. Examination of intrafamilial correlation of age of onset in the dominant cases suggested that the disorder is genetically heterogeneous. Two forms of dominant hereditary spastic paraplegia were identified: one with an age of onset mostly below 35 years (type I), and the other onset usually over 35 years (type II). In the type I cases, delay in walking was not infrequent and spasticity of the lower limbs was more marked than weakness. The disorder was very slowly progressive and was extremely variable in terms of severity. Sixteen per cent of the patients aged over 20 years were asymptomatic but clinically affected. In the type II group muscle weakness, urinary symptoms and sensory loss were more marked. This form of the disease evolved more rapidly. In the three families demonstrating autosomal recessive inheritance the clinical features were very ...

The Commonwealth Paraplegic Games were an international, multi-sport event involving athletes with a disability from the Commonwealth countries. The event was sometimes referred to as the Paraplegic Empire Games and British Commonwealth Paraplegic Games. Athletes were generally those with spinal injuries or polio. The Games were an important milestone in the Paralympic sports movement as they began the decline of the Stoke Mandeville Games dominating influence. The event was first held in 1962 and disestablished in 1974. The Games were held in the country hosting the Commonwealth Games for able-bodied athletes. The countries that had hosted the Commonwealth Paraplegic Games were Australia, Jamaica, New Zealand and Scotland. Six countries - Australia, England, New Zealand, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales - had been represented at all Commonwealth Paraplegic Games. Australia and England had been the top-ranking nation two times each: 1962, 1974 and 1966, 1970 respectively. The Games were the ...

Paraplegic rats walk, regain feeling after human stem cell treatment | The Petri DishParaplegic rats walk, regain feeling after human stem cell treatment | The Petri Dish
ENGINEERED tissue containing human stem cells has allowed para-plegic rats to walk independently and regain sensory perception. The implanted rats also show some degree of healing in their spinal cords.. The research, published in Fron-tiers in Neuroscience, demonstrates the great potential of stem cells - undifferentiated cells that can develop into numerous different types of cells - to treat spinal cord injury.. Spinal cord injuries often lead to paraplegia. Achieving substantial recovery following a complete spinal cord tear, or transection, is an as-yet unmet challenge.. Led by Dr Shulamit Levenberg, of the Technion-Israel Institute of Tech-nology, the researchers implanted human stem cells into rats with a complete spinal cord transection. The stem cells, which were derived from the membrane lining of the mouth, were induced to differentiate into support cells that secrete fac-tors for neural growth and survival.. The work involved more than simply inserting stem cells at vari-ous ...

Promoting the discovery of new treatments for Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia - SITraNPromoting the discovery of new treatments for Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia - SITraN
Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) is a genetically heterogeneous motor neuron disorder that causes significant gait disturbance and disability. There are at least 40 different genes that are implicated in HSP, but many of these are rare, with only a few affected families worldwide. It is estimated that half of HSP cases are due to mutations in the spastin gene (Spast), which encodes a protein that regulates the cytoskeleton.. There is currently no cure for HSP patients. Pharmacological treatment of HSP patients is limited to the use of muscle relaxants to reduce symptoms of spasticity. Dr Andy Grierson leads a team of researchers based in SITraN at the University of Sheffield. The current focus of HSP research in SITraN is to use disease models to identify new therapeutic approaches.. His team previously developed a spastin mouse model that closely mimics human disease. Mutant spastin mice develop a progressive spastic gait very similar to human HSP patients. Pathologically, the mice show ...

Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia (HSP) - Physio & Health MattersHereditary Spastic Paraplegia (HSP) - Physio & Health Matters
Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP), is the term given to a group of inherited disorders that are characterized by progressive weakness and spasticity (stiffness) of the legs.. More than 30 genes that are responsible for several forms of HSP have been identified. These genes generally help maintain the function of axons in the spinal cord. Understanding how mutations of these genes cause HSP should lead to ways to prevent, treat, and hopefully one day cure HSP.. Typically, early in the disease course, there may be mild gait difficulties and stiffness. These symptoms then slowly progress so that eventually individuals with HSP may require the assistance of a walking aid or wheelchair.. Although the primary feature of HSP is progressive lower limb spasticity and weakness, there are a wide range of other complicated forms of HSP. As a result, there may be other symptoms, such as;. ...

Heart rate and oxygen demand of powered exoskeleton-assisted walking in persons with paraplegia. - ReWalk - More Than WalkingHeart rate and oxygen demand of powered exoskeleton-assisted walking in persons with paraplegia. - ReWalk - More Than Walking
The aim of this prospective, single-group observational study was to investigate energy expenditure and heart rate (HR) during powered exoskeletal-assisted use while participating in seated rest, exoskeleton-assisted standing, and exoskeleton-assisted walking. Oxygen uptake (VO2) while using the powered exoskeleton was compared to other reports that have investigated the use of passive gait orthotics in persons with paraplegia. In this study, 8 non-ambulatory participants with paraplegia were trained to ambulate with a powered exoskeleton. Measurements of oxygen uptake (VO2) and heart rate (HR) were recorded for 6 min while sitting, standing, and walking. The average value of VO2 during walking was significantly higher than for sitting and standing (p , 0.001). The HR response during walking was significantly greater than that of either sitting or standing (p , 0.001). On average, the participants reported RPEs ranging from very light (7) to somewhat hard (13), with an average RPE of very light ...

Hereditary spastic paraplegia is a general term for a group of rare inherited disorders that cause weakness and stiffness in the leg muscles. Symptoms gradually get worse over time.. Its also known as familial spastic paraparesis or Strümpell-Lorrain syndrome.. Its difficult to know exactly how many people have hereditary spastic paraplegia because its often misdiagnosed. Estimates range from 1 in 11,000 people to 1 in 77,000 people.. The severity and progression of symptoms will vary from person to person.. About 90% of people with hereditary spastic paraplegia have whats known as a pure form of the condition. This means their symptoms are mainly confined to lower limb weakness and involuntary spasms and muscle stiffness (spasticity).. The remaining 10% have a complicated or complex form of the condition. This means they have other symptoms in addition to the muscle weakness and spasticity. They may have a wide range of symptoms.. ...

Robot Arm Improves Performance of Brain-Controlled DeviceRobot Arm Improves Performance of Brain-Controlled Device
When a person moves their arm or hand, they use sensory feedback called proprioception to control that motion. For example, if one reaches out to grab a coffee mug, sensory neurons in the arm and hand send information back to the brain about where ones limbs are positioned and moving. Proprioception tells a person where their arm is positioned, even if their eyes are closed.. But in patients with conditions where sensory neurons die out, executing basic motor tasks such as buttoning a shirt or even walking becomes exceptionally difficult. Paraplegic subjects in the early clinical trials of brain-machine interfaces faced similar difficulty in attempting to move a computer cursor or robot arm using only visual cues. Those troubles helped researchers realize the importance of proprioception feedback, Hatsopoulos said.. In the early days when we were doing this, we didnt even consider sensory feedback as an important component of the system, Hatsopoulos said. We really thought it was just ...
