This article provides an introduction and overview of sensory integration theory as it is used
in occupational therapy practice for children with developmental disabilities. This review of …

Patients with occupational hand dystonias have task-specific involuntary co-contraction and
overflow of activity to inappropriate muscles. This interferes with highly skilled movements …

The corpus callosum is hypothesized to play a fundamental role in integrating information
and mediating complex behaviors. Here, we demonstrate that lack of normal callosal …

Abstract Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (CI therapy) refers to a family of treatments
for motor disability that combines constraint of movement, massed practice, and shaping of …

Primary focal dystonias form a group of neurological disorders characterized by involuntary,
sustained muscle contractions causing twisting movements and abnormal postures. The …

Research during the last decades has greatly increased our understanding of brain
plasticity, ie how neuronal circuits can be modified by experience, learning and in response …

Musician's dystonia is a task-specific movement disorder, which manifests itself as a loss of
voluntary motor control in extensively trained movements. In many cases, the disorder …

Task‐specific dystonias are primary focal dystonias characterized by excessive muscle
contractions producing abnormal postures during selective motor activities that often involve …

Several disorders that involve motor and sensory disturbances such as chronic pain,
tinnitus, stroke or dystonia are also characterized by changes in the sensory and motor …

Objective One approach to the treatment of focal hand dystonia (FHD) is via sensory‐based
training regimes. It is known that FHD patients demonstrate a reduced distance between the …
