Neuromotor disorders

Neuromotor disorders, including paresthesia of the hands and feet, hyperactive deep tendon reflexes and muscle weakness. These can be explained by the role of acetyl CoA in the synthesis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine and the impaired formation of threonine acyl esters in myelin. Dysmyelination may explain the persistence and recurrence of neurological problems many years after nutritional rehabilitation in people who had suffered from burning foot syndrome. [Pg.354]

In parallel with the continuous development of innovative robotic systems, in order to promote their use it is also crucial to provide an extensive evaluation of efficacy, safety, reliability, and users and families acceptance of the developed systems. The MUNDUS system was evaluated on six end users affected by neuromotor disorders (three spinal cord injuries, one multiple sclerosis, and two Friedreich s ataxia), and a high level of usability, user satisfaction, and motor performance were observed [125]. In the future, more trials conducted in natural environments are needed. Last but not least, to increase accessibility both investment and maintenance costs need to be reduced. [Pg.28]

The neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) is an acute disorder of thermoregulation and neuromotor control carrying a mortality rate of about 21 % when untreated. The term neuroleptic malignant syndrome is probably a misnomer, and a better name might be the hypodopaminergic, hyperpyrexia syndrome. ... [Pg.87]

Nervous system disorders The development of severe peripheral neurotoxicity requires a reduction of dose. Mild to moderate neurosensory signs are characterised by paraesthesia, dysaesthesia or pain including burning. Neuromotor events are mainly characterised by weakness. [Pg.201]

Children who suffer from cholestatic liver disease or who have gastrointestinal disorders that mandate they be given parenteral nutrition may be at increased risk from overexposure to manganese. Increased manganese concentrations in blood and brain, and symptoms of neuromotor dysfunction were observed in an... [Pg.402]

Pantothenic acid is essential for the normal metabolism of fats and carbohydrates. Like many other vitamins, pantothenic acid is abundant in meat, fish, poultry, whole-grain cereals, and legumes. The recommended daily allowance (RDA) of pantothenic acid is 4-7 mg per day. Pantothenic acid deficiency, which is rather rare in the United States except among alcoholics, manifests itself as gastrointestinal, neuromotor, and cardiovascular disorders. Pantothenic acid is converted to its biologically functional form, known as coenzyme A, in the body. Coenzyme A is... [Pg.780]
