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.

- A comparative study of vestibular improvement and gastrointestinal effect of betahistine and gastrodin in miceby Yang-Xun Zhang on July 3, 2022
Betahistine and gastrodin are the first-line medications for vestibular disorders in clinical practice, nevertheless, their amelioration effects on vestibular dysfunctions still lack direct comparison and their unexpected extra-vestibular effects remain elusive. Recent clinical studies have indicated that both of them may have effects on the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Therefore, we purposed to systematically compare both vestibular and GI effects induced by betahistine and gastrodin and tried...
- Neural correlates of working memory and compensation at different stages of cognitive impairment in Parkinson's diseaseby Takaaki Hattori on July 3, 2022
Working memory (WM) impairment is one of the most frequent cognitive deficits in Parkinson's disease (PD). However, it is not known how neural activity is altered and compensatory responses eventually fail during progression. We aimed to elucidate neural correlates of WM and compensatory mechanisms in PD. Eighteen cognitively normal PD patients (PD-CogNL), 16 with PD with mild cognitive impairment (PD-MCI), 11 with PD with dementia (PDD), and 17 healthy controls (HCs) were evaluated. Subjects...
- Acupuncture Regulates Symptoms of Parkinson's Disease via Brain Neural Activity and Functional Connectivity in Miceby Ju-Young Oh on July 1, 2022
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a multilayered progressive brain disease characterized by motor dysfunction and a variety of other symptoms. Although acupuncture has been used to ameliorate various symptoms of neurodegenerative disorders, including PD, the underlying mechanisms are unclear. Here, we investigated the mechanism of acupuncture by revealing the effects of acupuncture treatment on brain neural responses and its functional connectivity in an animal model of PD. We observed that...
- Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP) in Diabetes Mellitus: A Diagnostic Dilemmaby Marcos Valentin on July 1, 2022
Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) is a neurological disorder of the peripheral nerves which can lead to gradually increasing motor and sensory loss. It can be a difficult entity to diagnose, particularly in elderly patients with a history of Diabetes Mellitus due to their overlapping neuropathic syndromes. Reported is a case of CIDP in an elderly female who manifested multiple sensory, motor, and autonomic complaints. A compilation of clinical features, neuroimaging,...
