Cognitive demands impair postural control in developmental dyslexia: a negative effect that can be compensated.

30 Jun 2009 Children with developmental dyslexia exhibit delayed reading abilities and various sensori-motor deficits. The way these various symptoms interact remain poorly understood. The objective of this study was twofold. First, we aimed to investigate ... Read more...

The effect of tactile discrimination training is enhanced when patients watch the reflected image of their unaffected limb during training.

4 Jun 2009 In patients with phantom limb pain or complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), sensory discrimination training increases tactile acuity, normalises cortical reorganisation and decreases pain. In healthy people, sensory cortical response, and tactile ... Read more...

Trials needed to assess knee proprioception following stroke.

27 Feb 2009 BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: This study explores the number of trials required to identify clinically significant impairments in knee joint position sense and movement sense following stroke. METHOD: Proprioception was assessed in 33 stroke patients aged ... 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.
