Useful details on athetoid cerebral palsy and disability that entails uncoordinate movements.
Cerebral palsy - Articles - Zimbio28 Jan 2012 | 3:14 amWhen you see a person who is with disability that involves the uncoordinated movements of the muscles, you can readily say cerebral palsy. This may perhaps be true since this condition is very frequent today. But, did you know that there are many varieties of this condition and one particular of them is athetoid cerebral palsy. Here are some of its symptoms. If you ordinarily perceive a person with palsy as a person who has jerky movements, you may not discover that there is a kind that will exhibit slow movements. Also, there can be twisting of the parts of the body. These actions are… -

Pregnancy-Induced Acute Neurologic Emergencies and Neurologic Conditions Encountered in Pregnancy
27 Jan 2012 | 1:38 amNeurologic complications and conditions associated with pregnancy are rare. Frequently, presenting symptoms of neurologic conditions are nonspecific and can overlap with normal symptoms of pregnancy. As a result, clinical assessment can be insufficient to differentiate symptoms of a normal pregnancy from a neurologic disorder. It is imperative that the radiologist have a basic familiarity with the most common neurologic conditions encountered in pregnancy. The most commonly imaged acute and nonemergent disorders will be described, including eclampsia, cerebrovascular disease including… -

Although a wealth of research has demonstrated that locomotion is largely controlled by spinal mechanisms, the brain is of utmost importance in monitoring locomotor patterns and therefore contains information regarding central pattern generation functioning. In addition, there is also a tight coordination… -

Enough of Others’ Success Strategies! 2012 is the Year for Mine, Based on Balance
10 Jan 2012 | 7:35 pmSince choosing this self-employed, solopreneur route – or, more accurately, having the decision, more or less, made for me – I have spent much time reading, observing and listening to how other entrepreneurs and business owners have found success. Strategies, methods and formulas that have and haven’t worked have caught my attention. I have tried implementing a few, and have discarded many others that didn’t fit or make sense for me. Last week I watched a news clip on our local self-made billionaire Jimmy Pattison, the sole owner of the third largest private company in Canada. His net… -

Serial Casting & School Updates/Questions
11 Apr 2011 | 4:47 pmDarsie is now sporting a purple serial cast. Her PT put it on last Friday and this week it will be removed and we'll see how she has progressed. With her other rounds of serial casting post-Botox, she has always had a minimum of two castings but upwards of four. The last time was the shortest with just two castings due to skin breakdown. This time, as a preventative measure, I applied athlete foot creme to her foot the morning of her casting. It will be interesting to see if that has any change to the duration that she can be casted for. I just want to remember to bring the creme with us on…
