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.

  • Neurodevelopmental outcome in preterm infants with intraventricular hemorrhages: the potential of quantitative brainstem MRI
    by Patric Kienast on May 8, 2024

    CONCLUSION: Quantitative magnetic resonance imaging can provide valuable insights into neurodevelopmental outcomes after intraventricular hemorrhage, potentially aiding in identifying at-risk neonates. Multi-dynamic multi-echo sequence sequences hold promise as an adjunct to conventional sequences, enhancing the sensitivity of neonatal magnetic resonance neuroimaging and supporting clinical decision-making for these vulnerable patients.

  • Using artificial intelligence methods to study the effectiveness of exercise in patients with ADHD
    by Dan Yu on May 8, 2024

    Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a prevalent neurodevelopmental disorder that significantly affects children and adults worldwide, characterized by persistent inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Current research in this field faces challenges, particularly in accurate diagnosis and effective treatment strategies. The analysis of motor information, enriched by artificial intelligence methodologies, plays a vital role in deepening our understanding and improving the...

  • Cholinergic modulation of motor sequence learning
    by Angela Voegtle on May 8, 2024

    The cholinergic system plays a key role in motor function, but whether pharmacological modulation of cholinergic activity affects motor sequence learning is unknown. The acetylcholine receptor antagonist biperiden, an established treatment in movement disorders, reduces attentional modulation, but whether it influences motor sequence learning is not clear. Using a randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled crossover design, we tested 30 healthy young participants and showed that biperiden...

  • Acupuncture for generalized anxiety disorder: a study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
    by Xiayun Zhou on May 8, 2024

    During the COVID-19 outbreak, there was a sharp increase in generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). Acupuncture therapy has the advantages of accurate clinical efficacy, safety and reliability, few adverse reactions, and no dependence, and is gradually becoming one of the emerging therapies for treating GAD. We present a study protocol for a randomized clinical trial with the aim of exploring the mechanism of brain plasticity in patients with GAD and evaluate the effectiveness and reliability of...
