Image classification of idiopathic spinal cord herniation based on symptom severity and surgical outcome: a multicenter study.

30 Aug 2009 OBJECT: The purpose of this study was to provide the first evidence for image classification of idiopathic spinal cord herniation (ISCH) in a multicenter study. METHODS: Twelve patients who underwent surgery for ISCH were identified, and ... Read more...

Sensory overresponsivity and anxiety in children with ADHD.

29 Jun 2009 OBJECTIVE: Approximately 25% of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have a comorbid anxiety disorder. The purpose of this study was to determine whether sensory overresponsivity (SOR) is related to elevated levels of ... Read more...

Deficient high-acceleration vestibular function in patients with polyneuropathy.

7 Jun 2009 BACKGROUND: Unsteadiness during standing and walking is a frequent complaint of patients with polyneuropathy (PNP). OBJECTIVE: To determine whether balance disorders in patients with PNP may be caused by reduced proprioceptive input from the feet ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Somatosensory Disorders'

Definition: Disorders of sensory information received from superficial and deep regions of the body. The somatosensory system conveys neural impulses which pertain to proprioception, tactile sensation, thermal sensation, pressure sensation, and pain. PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DISEASES; SPINAL CORD DISEASES; and BRAIN DISEASES may be associated with impaired or abnormal somatic sensation.
