Stiff-person syndrome (SPS) is a rare neurological condition that frequently affects adults, with the neurologist diagnosing only one or two cases during his or her career. Reports of paediatric SPS are exceedingly rare, with less than 20 cases described in the literature.The patient presented was initially diagnosed with a functional movement disorder then a genetic dystonia, with a poor response to treatment trials and negative genetic testing. Consideration of Wilson's disease was refuted with non-supportive investigations and assessments...

OBJECTIVES: To explore potential alterations of the Body Schema, the implicit sensorimotor representation of one's own body, in patients with Functional Movement Disorders (FMD, Motor Conversion Disorders), characterized by neurological symptoms of altered voluntary motor function that cannot be explained by typical medical conditions. This investigation is prompted by the potential dissociation from their reportedly intact sense of ownership. METHODS: 10 FMD patients and 11 healthy controls (HC) underwent the Forearm Bisection Task, aimed at assessing perceived body metrics, which consists in asking the subject, blindfolded, to repeatedly point at the perceived middle point of their dominant forearm with the index finger of their contralateral hand, and a psychometric assessment for anxiety, depression, alexithymia, and tendency to dissociation...

Spasticity attributable to exaggerated stretch reflex pathways, particularly affecting the ankle plantar flexors, often impairs overground walking in persons with incomplete spinal cord injury. Compelling evidence from rodent models underscores how exposure to acute intermittent hypoxia (AIH) can provide a unique medium to induce spinal plasticity in key inhibitory pathways mediating stretch reflex excitability and potentially affect spasticity. In this study, we quantify the effects of a single exposure to AIH on the stretch reflex in able-bodied individuals...

Functional neurological movement disorders are common in neurological practice and lead to a high degree of impairment and chronification. Affected patients usually receive a diagnosis with considerable delay and often do not get disease-specific treatment. The reasons for this delay are related to extensive diagnostic measures to exclude other nonfunctional neurological diseases. As a consequence, functional movement disorders are typically communicated as diagnoses of exclusion, which makes it difficult for patients to understand and accept the diagnosis...

Functional Motor Disorders are common and disabling. Clinical diagnosis has moved from one of exclusion of other causes for symptoms to one where positive clinical features on history and examination are used to make a "rule in" diagnosis wherever possible. Clinical neurophysiological assessments have developed increasing importance in assisting with this positive diagnosis, not being used simply to demonstrate normal sensory-motor pathways, but instead to demonstrate specific abnormalities that help to positively diagnose these disorders...

The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of functional corrective training and static stretching on the quality of movement patterns and physical fitness in college students. The study was conducted with 30 male college students from a university in Guangzhou, China. The participants were randomly assigned to either the functional corrective training group (FCT, n = 15, age = 20.93 ± 0.85, BMI = 22.07 ± 2.33) or the static stretching group (SS, n = 13, age = 20.85 ± 0.86, BMI = 21...

BACKGROUND: The current in-service Royal Naval Fitness Test has two elements to test the aerobic endurance and muscular strength of Service Personnel through generic field-based tests and a short job task simulation. However, in 2017 the Royal Navy (RN) identified a requirement to update their in-service fitness test to align with international best practice. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to conduct an Objective Job Task Analysis on critical, physically demanding tasks that could be undertaken by RN sailors during sea deployments...

Optimal skeletal muscle oxidative function (microvascular reactivity and mitochondrial capacity) is an integral part of healthy aging and is related to physical function and quality of life. We aimed to extend upon the understanding of skeletal muscle oxidative function with healthy aging in males and females across the adult lifespan. Younger (N = 22; 11 males), middle-aged (N = 19; 10 males), and older (N = 21; 10 males) adults completed this study. Time spent in moderate and vigorous physical activity was self-reported and similar among groups...

Functional tremor (FT) is the most common phenotype of functional movement disorders (FMD). Its diagnosis can often be challenging. While positive signs such as tremor variability, distractibility, and entrainment support a diagnosis of FT, these diagnostic clues may not always be present and can be challenging to assess. In this case series, we identify another examination technique which could be of value when assessing FT. In our Movement Disorders clinic, charts were retrospectively reviewed for relevant clinical information...

REVIEW

Successful treatment of patients with functional motor disorders is integrative in several ways: the primary treatment goal is the (re)integration of sensorimotor, cognitive and social functioning. The prerequisites for this are an integrated biopsychosocial model of everyone involved as well as close transdisciplinary cooperation. Instead of a simple addition of treatment components, all care providers and patients act in concert.

BACKGROUND: The demonstration of positive signs during neurological examination is a cornerstone of the diagnosis of functional movement disorders, however, the available data supporting the diagnostic value of some of these signs is limited. OBJECTIVES: To determine the diagnostic value (sensitivity and specificity) of the "whack-a-mole" (WAM) and "swivel chair" (SC) tests in patients with functional movement disorders (FMD).

The functional movement screen (FMS) test is a seven-test battery used to assess fundamental movement abilities of individuals. It is commonly used to predict sports injuries but relies on clinical expertise and is not suitable for self-examination. This study presents an automatic FMS movement assessment framework using a multi-view deep neural network called MVDNN. The framework combines automatic skeleton extraction with manual feature selection to extract 3D trajectory features of human skeleton joints from two different directions...

REVIEW
Kirsten E Zeuner, Petra Schwingenschuh
Patients with Parkinson's Disease or a tremor syndrome may present with additional functional movement disorders. The differential diagnosis is particularly difficult. In some cases, functional symptoms occur either before the manifestation of the organic disease or can emerge as an additional symptom after Parkinson's disease or tremor became apparent. In patients with Parkinson's disease the prevalence for additional functional symptoms is 7 %. In the case that patients with Parkinson's diseases have one side that is more severely affected, additional functional motor symptoms such as functional rest tremor also occur on that same, predominantly affected side...

BACKGROUND: Functional parkinsonism is an important differential diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (PD). Based on anecdotal experience, we hypothesized that arm swing while walking and running could differentiate these two conditions, but this assumption has not been previously explored systematically. OBJECTIVES: To examine differences in arm swing while walking and running between patients with PD and functional parkinsonism. METHODS: We analyzed blinded video assessments of arm swing and other gait parameters in patients with asymmetrical PD (n = 81) and functional parkinsonism (n = 8) while walking and running...

BACKGROUND: The VPS13 family of proteins has been implicated in lipid transport and trafficking between endoplasmic reticulum and organelles, to maintain homeostasis of subcellular membranes. Recently, pathogenic variants in each human VPS13S gene, have been linked to distinct human neurodevelopmental or neurodegenerative disorders. Within the VPS13 family of genes, VPS13D is known to be implicated in mitochondria homeostasis and function. METHODS: We investigated a Pakistani sibship affected with neurodevelopmental impairment and severe hyperkinetic (choreoathetoid) movements...
