Search for a rare disease Isaac's syndrome is characterized by continuous muscle fiber activity at rest (even during sleep), resulting in cramps, muscle stiffness and weakness, pseudomyotonia, muscle twitching (visible myokymia), and fasciculation. Hyperhidrosis, muscle hypertrophy and hyporeflexia are also observed.

Dupuytren's contracture Volkmann's contracture. development of thick, nodular fibrous bands within palmar and plantar fascia, typified by flexion contracture of fifth and fourth digits, so that the hand may no longer be opened fully, and the fifth and fourth fingernails embed into palmar skin; more common in the elderly and alcoholics.

- Flexion contracture. A flexion contracture or flexion deformity is when someone is not able to fully straighten their leg either actively or passively. -. ‘Gon’ is a Greek prefix implying ‘knee’ so a ‘goniometer’ means an instrument for measuring the knee, although in practice it can be used for measuring the range-of-motion - or ...

Contracture A muscle contracture is a permanent shortening of a muscle[1] or joint.[2] It is usually in response to prolonged hypertonic spasticity in a concentrated muscle area, such as is seen in the tightest muscles of people with conditions like spastic cerebral palsy.

Dupuytren's Contracture Dupuytren’s contracture is an abnormal thickening of the tissue just beneath the skin. This thickening occurs in the palm and can extend into the fingers. Firm pits, bumps and cords (thick lines) can develop and cause the fingers to bend into the palm (Figures 1 and 2).

"Meaning of ""bradykinesia"" in the English dictionary" Hypokinesia refers to decreased bodily movement. One of the two categories of movement disorders, hypokinesia is characterized by a partial or complete loss of muscle movement due to a disruption in the basal ganglia. Patients with hypokinetic disorders like Parkinson's disease experience muscle rigidity and an inability to produce movement. It is also associated with mental health disorders and prolonged inactivity due to illness, amongst other diseases.

- The somatic muscles, pseudocoel, and cuticle function together as a hydrostatic skeleton in nematodes. The platymyarian type of muscle cell has contractile fibers on one side, next to the hypodermis, and a noncontractile myocyton bulging into the pseudocoel (Figure 22.8).

rigidity clasp-knife rigidity increased tension in the extensor of a joint when it is passively flexed, giving way suddenly on exertion of further pressure; seen especially in upper motor neuron disease. Called also clasp-knife reflex.

- Orthostatic hypotension, also called postural hypotension, is a sudden fall in blood pressure that occurs when you stand up quickly. Hypotension is the term for low blood pressure. Blood pressure is the force of your blood against the walls of your arteries. When you stand up, gravity pulls blood into your legs, and your blood pressure begins to fall. Certain reflexes in your body compensate for this change.

arthrogryposis The permanent fixation of a joint in a contracted position. arthrogryposis multiplex congenita. A rare sporadic condition characterised by joint contractures, dislocations, rigid skeletal deformities (e.g., clubfoot or talipes equinovarus), skin atrophy and replacement of limb muscles with fibrous tissue.

Polymyositis Polymyositis and dermatomyositis have many shared clinical features. Both are inflammatory myopathies that present as symmetrical muscle weakness that develops over weeks to months. Initial treatment with corticosteroids usually produces a response; however, nonresponders require further treatment.

myotonia congenita (2) Paramyotonia congenita, see there; also known as Thomsen disease. myotonia congenita Thomsen's disease Neurology An AD or AR condition characterized by deficiency of true cholinesterase Clinical Inability of muscles to relax quickly, resulting in myotonia, gagging, dysphagia, stiff movement that improves with repetition; Pts are often muscular. See Myotonia. myotonia congenita A dominant genetic disease in which the affected person has great difficulty in relaxing muscles after they have been contracted. A grasp can be released only slowly and with great difficulty and the tightly shut eyes may take many seconds to open again. The condition gradually improves with age. myotonia congenita

- Dupuytren's contracture (also known as morbus Dupuytren, or Dupuytren's disease and slang terms Viking disease or Celtic hand), is a fixed flexion contracture of the hand due to a palmar fibromatosis, where the fingers bend towards the palm and cannot be fully extended (straightened).ollagenase injection is a nonsurgical option to treat Dupuytren’s disease and it provides the benefits of avoiding the potential surgical complications such as nerve injury, hematoma and skin necrosis. Primary surgery reports a 5% incidence of nerve injury and 12% in second surgery.

Dupuytren's Contracture: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment Dupuytren's Contracture: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment. Dupuytren's contracture is an abnormal thickening and tightening of the normally elastic tissue beneath the skin of the palm and fingers. This tissue is called fascia. The fascia contains strands of fibers, like cords, that run from the palm upward into the fingers.

- Samples in periodicals archive: 1  histolyticum into palpable cords of Dupuytren's contracture resulted in a mean 81% reduction in the degree of fixed-flexion contracture in treated metacarpophalangeal joints and a 66% decrease in proximal interphalangeal joints.

eccentric contraction eccentric contraction. controlled relaxation of a contracted muscle, movement occurring as a result of the lengthening of the muscle(s). eccentric contraction. a type of muscle contraction that occurs as the muscle fibers lengthen, such as when a weight is lowered through a range of motion. The contractile force generated by the muscle is weaker than an opposing force, which causes the muscle to stretch. Compare concentric contraction. eccentric contraction a type of muscle contraction that occurs as the muscle fibers lengthen, such as when a weight is lowered through a range of motion. The contractile force generated by the muscle is weaker than an opposing force, which causes the muscle to stretch.

mycetoma an initially localized, slowly progressive, destructive infection of the cutaneous and subcutaneous tissues, fascia, and bone, caused by certain actinomycetes (actinomycotic mycetoma) or true fungi (eumycotic mycetoma). It usually involves the leg or foot (Madura foot), but the hand or any other site may be affected.
