Ocular motor neural integrators ensure that eyes are held steady in straight-ahead and
eccentric positions of gaze. Abnormal function of the ocular motor neural integrator leads to …

The discovery of biological pathways shared between different monogenic dystonias is an
important conceptual advance in the understanding of the underlying mechanisms, with a …

Objective To investigate the cerebellar inhibitory influence on the primary motor cortex in
patients with focal dystonia using a cerebellar continuous theta-burst stimulation protocol …

Background: There is emerging evidence that cervical dystonia is a neural network disorder
with the cerebellum as a key node. The cerebellum may provide a target for …

Dystonia is the third most common movement disorder affecting three million people
worldwide. Cervical dystonia is the most common form of dystonia. Despite common …

This is an overview of the sensorimotor impairments in dystonia, a syndrome characterized
by sustained or intermittent aberrant movement patterns leading to abnormal movements …

Smoothness (ie non-intermittency) of movement is a clinically important property of the
voluntary movement with accuracy and proper speed. Resting head position and head …

Background Early theories for cervical dystonia, as promoted by Hassler, emphasized the
role of the midbrain interstitial nucleus of Cajal. Focus then shifted to the basal ganglia, and …

Moving smoothly is generally considered as a higher-order goal of motor control and moving
jerkily as a witness of clumsiness or pathology, yet many common and well-controlled …

Objective. To date human kinematics research has relied on video processing, motion
capture and magnetic search coil data acquisition techniques. However, the use of head …
