ASSOCIATION BETWEEN HEART FAILURE AND HAND SENSORIMOTOR FUNCTION
… complex syndrome characterized by structural or functional defects of ventricular filling or ejection fractions of the heart that do not meet metabolic requirements. While dyspnea, fatigue, and fluid retention are symptoms commonly reported by persons with HF (PwHF), indispensable reports …

The effects of proprioceptive training and dyad practice to improve sensorimotor function
… of proprioceptive training and dyad practice on sensorimotor function. It is well established that the human motor and sensory systems are closely linked, such that changes in motor training affect proprioceptive performance and vice versa, and that it affects neural processing in both motor and …

The effect of an exercise intervention on peripheral sensorimotor function in neuropathic diabetics
… of peripheral nerves. Loss of peripheral sensory function, combined with confounding autonomic and neuromuscular complications, leads to an increase in the risk of plantar ulceration due to traumatic or repetitive loading. The evidence for the effectiveness of an exercise intervention in improving …

Effectiveness of chiropractic care in improving sensorimotor function associated with falls risk in older people
… chiropractic care was effective in improving sensorimotor function that is related to fall risk in community-dwelling older adults over a 12 week period. A pragmatic randomised controlled trial was conducted that compared the effect of chiropractic care to a ‘usual care’ control on …

The Effect of a Combined Multiple-Modality Exercise Intervention on Sensorimotor Function in Community Dwelling Older Adults, with A Subjective Cognitive Complaint: The M4 Study (Multi-Modal; Mind Motor)
… seen between M2 and M4 groups for any of the sensorimotor outcomes examined. This study elucidates the impact of an exercise intervention on sensorimotor functioning through improvements in AS RT, however no differences were seen between groups. A multiple-modality exercise intervention can be …

The Influence of Posture on Pelvic Floor Muscle Activation and Sensory Awareness in Women With and Without Stress Urinary Incontinence
… use of PFM training to improve continence function, the sensory awareness of the PFMs has not been evaluated. The aims of this dissertation were to evaluate neuromuscular activation and sensory awareness of the PFMs in women with and without stress urinary incontinence and to examine the …

The Effects of Blast-Induced Neurotrauma on Blood-Brain Barrier Permeability, Cell-Cell Junction Protein Levels and the Role of Peroxynitrite
… BINT on the blood-brain barrier, cognitive and sensorimotor function and reactive nitrogen species formation. We hypothesize that BINT increases the permeability of the BBB, decreases the presence of the tight junction protein, occludin, in cerebral blood vessels, causes deficits in sensorimotor …

Shoulder pain after stroke: prevalence, contributing factors and consequences in daily life
… I) were shown to be severely affected arm motor function and severe impairments according to the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale, (NIHSS). About 70% of the individuals with impaired sensorimotor function at stroke onset and PSSP at four months had still pain one year later. Predictors …

Regional Differences in Brain Structure Underlying Childhood Stuttering Persistence and Recovery: An MRI Study
… regions critical for speech motor sequencing and sensorimotor integration, such as the left inferior frontal area, bilateral temporoparietal regions, as well as several areas in the basal ganglia and thalamus. When CWPS and CWRS were compared, the latter often exhibited intermediate tissue volume …

Deficits in Auditory, Cognitive, and Motor Processing Following Reversible MCAO in Mice: Understanding the Human Stroke Phenotype
… loss or alteration in neurological and/or bodily function resulting from a cerebral vascular accident (interruption of blood flow to the brain). Acute ischemic stroke is the third leading cause of death in the United States, and the leading cause of long-term functional disability in adults. …

A Wearable Countermeasure for Musculoskeletal Deconditioning in Human Spaceflight
… which may cause back pain and discomfort, and sensorimotor changes lead to impaired posture and locomotion. The Gravity Loading Countermeasure Skinsuit (GLCS or Skinsuit) is a musculoskeletal deconditioning countermeasure for spaceflight, consisting of a skin-tight garment that applies a …

An Examination of the Roles of CX3CR1 and Microglia in a Mouse Model of Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy
… in a mouse model of DCM by supporting sensorimotor function, mediating synaptic and neuronal preservation, and regulating cytokine production, phagocytosis, and acute vascular leakage after surgery. In this study we developed a novel Tmem119-CreERT2::Cx3cr1- loxP-DTR mouse strain to …

The Role of Nogo-A in Memory and Neuronal Plasticity in the Aged Rodent Brain
… improves recovery of skilled forelimb sensorimotor function in adult and aged rats after an ischemic stroke lesion to the sensorimotor cortex. Furthermore, this recovery was correlated with axonal sprouting from intact pathways to denervated areas, as well as dendritic sprouting and …

Extended Treatment Window Exists for Improving Sensorimotor Recovery Using Anti-Nogo a Immunotherapy in Adult Rats with Chronic Stroke Deficits
… of this novel treatment results in sensorimotor recovery in adult and aged rats. This therapy has been shown to be efficacious when applied immediately, 24 hours, and 1 week post-stroke in rats with mild to moderate sensorimotor deficits. In addition, recent results suggest that …

Evaluating Longitudinal Motor Recovery in Non-Human Primates after Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion
… and objective quantification of upper limb function. This study aims to investigate the longitudinal sensorimotor recovery of NHPs following Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion (MCAO) by assessing performance with both NHPSS and Kinarm. Additionally, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) will be …

Retinoid X Receptor as a Mediator of Post Stroke Recovery by Reversing Age-Associated Phenotypes of Microglia/Macrophages
… studies suggest that RXRa enhances MF phagocytic functions, reduces inflammatory responses, and improves post-stroke recovery. To establish phenotypes of aging MF, MG were MACS-sorted from the brains of young adults (2-4 months old) and aged (18-20 months old) mice for transcriptomic analysis. RXR …

Zum Zusammenhang zwischen posturaler Balance und kognitiven bzw. somatischen Faktoren
Balance ist als die koordinative Fähigkeit anzusehen, die am meisten durch das Sinnes- und Nervensystem determiniert ist. Damit könnte sie als Indikator für Funktionseinschränkungen des Nervensystems - etwa bei Lernstörungen - von Wert sein. Aussagen über Zusammenhänge zwischen Balance und …

Spontaneously Regenerative Corticospinal Neurons in Mice
… cord in humans. CSNs regulate the spinal cord's sensorimotor function; however, the extent of their impact on motor control differs between species. In macaques, lesion of the pyramidal tract produces immediate limb paralysis. In rodents, their genetic ablation profoundly impacts skilled-reaching …

Human perception and control of vehicle roll tilt in hyper-gravity
… for tasks such as landing and docking. To study sensorimotor function in altered gravity, a hyper-gravity test-bed was produced using a centrifuge. Previous experiments have quantified static tilt perception in hyper-gravity; however, studies of dynamic tilt, such as those experienced by …
