Proprioception and Sensorimotor Control in Hereditary Sensory and Autonomic Neuropathy

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Atunomic Neuropathy

In brief

This project comprises three sets of physiological studies - testing eight specific hypotheses - that will contribute new knowledge on proprioception and motor control in a genetic disorder that affects specific components of the sensory nervous system. I: To investigate the neurophysiological basis for disturbed motor control in Hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy (HSAN) III II: To investigate the effects of enhancing cutaneous feedback on motor control in HSAN III III: To investigate the cortical representation of proprioceptive inputs in HSAN III
