Background
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a complex neurodegenerative disorder impacting everyday function and quality of life. Rehabilitation plays a crucial role in improving symptoms, function, and quality of life and reducing disability, particularly given the lack of disease-modifying agents and limitations of medications and surgical therapies....
The primary aim of this pilot study was to develop a testing protocol for gathering shoulder muscle surface electromyography (EMG) data during a sustained submaximal isometric wheelchair-propulsion effort. Of special interest was analysis of the median frequency of the surface EMG signal power spectrum; a negative median frequency shift during a su...
The efficacy of epinephrine for prolonging the duration of lidocaine spinal anesthesia remains controversial. Seven volunteers were randomized in a double-blind manner to receive two 50-mg lidocaine (in dextrose 7.5%) spinal anesthetics with and without epinephrine (0.2 mg). Sensory analgesia was assessed with transcutaneous electrical stimulation...

High-dose microinjections of morphine sulfate (15 micrograms) and (D-Ala2)-Met-enkephalin (30 micrograms) were made into the ventral periaqueductal gray of rats. Consistent with previous reports using lower doses, both opiates produced hypoalgesia for noxious thermal stimuli applied to the upper and lower body. More hypoalgesia was observed on the...
