Central sensory-motor deficit after uneventful single-dose spinal morphine administration in a patient with preexisting migraine headaches.

30 Oct 2009 Hemiplegic migraine is a condition associated with vascular alteration of the central nervous system and transient neurologic deficits. Permanent morphine-induced motor dysfunction has been reported after spinal ischemia. We report a persisting ... Read more...

Reach-to-grasp interjoint coordination for moving object in children with hemiplegia.

30 Oct 2009 OBJECTIVE: To evaluate interjoint coordination in children with hemiplegia as they reach to grasp objects, in both static and dynamic conditions. An ad hoc robotic device was used to study the dynamic condition. DESIGN: Observational study. ... Read more...

Robot-mediated and clinical scales evaluation after upper limb botulinum toxin type A injection in children with hemiplegia.

30 Oct 2009 OBJECTIVE: The aim of this pilot study was to examine changes in different aspects of impairment, including spasticity in the upper limbs, of hemiplegic children following botulinum toxin type A intervention. Progress was assessed using standard ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Hemiplegia'

Definition: Severe or complete loss of motor function on one side of the body. This condition is usually caused by BRAIN DISEASES that are localized to the cerebral hemisphere opposite to the side of weakness. Less frequently, BRAIN STEM lesions; cervical SPINAL CORD DISEASES; PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DISEASES; and other conditions may manifest as hemiplegia. The term hemiparesis (see PARESIS) refers to mild to moderate weakness involving one side of the body.
