Masseter reflex in the study of spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 and type 3.

29 Sep 2009 In this investigation we assess the utility of the masseter reflex for diagnostic purposes in autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxias. We studied the masseter reflex electrophysiologically in spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 (SCA2, 10 patients) and type ... Read more...

Glial fibrillary acidic protein as a marker of axonal damage in chronic neuropathies.

29 Jun 2009 We evaluated serum glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) levels by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in controls (n = 30) and in patients with chronic sensory-motor axonal neuropathy (CSMAN) (n = 30), chronic inflammatory demyelinating ... Read more...

Flexion reflex modulation during stepping in human spinal cord injury.

24 May 2009 The flexion reflex modulation pattern was investigated in nine people with a chronic spinal cord injury during stepping using body weight support on a treadmill and manual assistance by therapists. Body weight support was provided by an upper body ... Read more...
