  2. Pelvic examination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelvic_examination

    The bimanual component of the pelvic examination allows the examiner to feel ("palpate" in medical terms) the structures of the pelvis, including the vagina, cervix, uterus, and adnexae (structures adjacent to the uterus, which include the ovaries and any adnexal masses). [22] [23] The bimanual exam traditionally occurs after the speculum is ...

  3. Congenital mirror movement disorder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congenital_mirror_movement...

    The specific molecular mechanism that underpins this movement disorder is not well known. [2] However, most researchers suggest that it follows an autosomal dominant genetic inheritance pattern in which mutations in certain genes give rise to structural abnormalities in nervous system networks responsible for voluntary skeletal muscle movement, which, in turn, result in the functional movement ...

  4. Cervical motion tenderness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cervical_motion_tenderness

    Cervical motion tenderness or cervical excitation is a sign found on a gynecological pelvic examination suggestive of pelvic pathology.Classically, it is present in the setting of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) or ectopic pregnancy and is of some use to help differentiate PID from appendicitis. [1]

  5. Sensory processing disorder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_processing_disorder

    AOTA's practice guidelines and RCOT's informed view "Sensory Integration and sensory-based interventions" [73] currently support the use of sensory integration therapy and interprofessional education and collaboration in order to optimize treatment for those with sensory integration and processing difficulties. The AOTA provides several ...

  6. Motor coordination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_coordination

    In bimanual tasks (tasks involving two hands), it was found that the functional segments of the two hands are tightly synchronized. One of the postulated theories for this functionality is the existence of a higher, "coordinating schema" that calculates the time it needs to perform each individual task and coordinates it using a feedback mechanism.

  7. Interlimb coordination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interlimb_coordination

    Bimanual coordination involves the coordination of two arms in bimanual action, which allows two hands to move simultaneously to do tasks. [1] Examples of bimanual coordination include clapping hands, opening the cap of a bottle with two hands or typing words on a keyboard with both hands.

  8. Bladder sphincter dyssynergia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bladder_sphincter_dyssynergia

    Bladder sphincter dyssynergia (also known as detrusor sphincter dyssynergia (DSD) (the ICS standard terminology agreed 1998) [1] and neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO)) is a consequence of a neurological pathology such as spinal injury [2] or multiple sclerosis [3] which disrupts central nervous system regulation of the micturition (urination) reflex resulting in dyscoordination of the ...

  9. Extrapyramidal symptoms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extrapyramidal_symptoms

    Medications are used to reverse the symptoms of extrapyramidal side effects caused by antipsychotics or other drugs, by either directly or indirectly increasing dopaminergic neurotransmission. The treatment varies by the type of the EPS, but may involve anticholinergic agents such as procyclidine, benztropine, diphenhydramine, and trihexyphenidyl.
