With the advent of modern neuroimaging techniques such as positron emission tomography (PET) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), the potential for investigating neural mechanisms of speech motor control, speech motor disorders, and speech motor development has increased.
TRANSLATIONAL IMPACT Clinical issue Children who undergo cranial radiation therapy (CRT) to treat central nervous system (CNS) malignancies are at increased risk for neurocognitive deficits, impaired coordination and motor control, and seizure disorders.
EMG is also used in many types of research laboratories, including those involved in biomechanics, motor control, neuromuscular physiology, movement disorders, postural control, and physical therapy.
Indeed, our results confirmed the importance of some aspects of visual processing of spatial information and motor control in developmental coordination disorder and their subtle association in delineating DCD subtypes, as discussed in [ 10].
In spite of the massive bulk of the frontal callosal connections in man, ascertained consequences of their interruption are limited to disorders of motor control, with particular regard to bimanual coordination.
The finding that conversion disorders affecting motor control and sensation as well as pseudoseizures were in the foreground is well in line with other studies on child psychiatric and paediatric samples.
EMG signals can be used for variety of applications like clinical/biomedical applications, EHW chip development, human machine interaction, etc. Clinical applications of EMG as a diagnostics tool can include neuromuscular diseases, low back pain assessment, kinesiology and disorders of motor control.
Also, in the case of articulatory dyspraxia, with difficulties in speaking or pronunciation, the question remains as to whether it is a disorder of motor control or an expression of aphasia constrained by syntactic categories.
We performed a genome-wide screen for imprinted genes in the cerebellum, a brain structure involved in motor control and implicated in autism spectrum disorders (Amaral et al., 2008; Tsai et al., 2012; Wang et al., 2014b).
Further, a recent study of 6,595 twins found support for one general genetic factor that accounted for a large proportion of the shared variance (31%) in 53 neurodevelopmental problems characteristic of ASD, ADHD, and other disorders (e.g., motor control, perception, concentration, and tics) [ 127].
