Motor Disorders
Resources for Patients and Caregivers
Motor disorders are malfunctions of the nervous system that cause involuntary or uncontrollable movements or actions of the body. These disorders can cause lack of intended movement or an excess of involuntary movement.

- Cervical spinal cord injury following osteophyte excision for respiratory distress caused by diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis associated with ossification of posterior longitudinal ligament: a case report and literature reviewby Keisuke Masuda on December 20, 2024
CONCLUSIONS: Patients with cervical OPLL and spinal cord compression may experience spinal cord injury when intervertebral mobility is slightly increased due to osteophyte excision. If dysphagia or respiratory distress occur in patients with DISH and OPLL, decompression and fusion surgery at the mobile segment is required, in addition to osteophyte excision surgery. Posterior decompression and fusion surgery should be performed before anterior osteophyte excision surgery to avoid implant...
- Effects of elastic therapeutic taping on reducing drooling in children with neurological disorders: a systematic review of randomized controlled trialsby Krystal Tsz Ting Lam on December 20, 2024
CONCLUSIONS: This review suggests that ETT combined with OMT is effective in reducing drooling in children with neurological disorders, with no evidence of side effects.
- Identifying Individuals in the Prodromal Phase of Parkinson's Disease: A Prospective Cohort Studyby Mario H Flores-Torres on December 20, 2024
OBJECTIVE: We prospectively evaluated how well combinations of signs and symptoms can identify individuals in the prodromal phase of Parkinson's disease (PD).
- Transsynaptic labeling and transcriptional control of zebrafish neural circuitsby Cagney E Coomer on December 20, 2024
Deciphering the connectome, the ensemble of synaptic connections that underlie brain function, is a central goal of neuroscience research. Here we report the in vivo mapping of connections between presynaptic and postsynaptic partners in zebrafish, by adapting the trans-Tango genetic approach that was first developed for anterograde transsynaptic tracing in Drosophila. Neural connections were visualized between synaptic partners in larval retina, brain and spinal cord and followed over...
