The Fugl Meyer Assessment of Physical Performance (FMA) is an example of one widely used scale. [4] The FMA consists of five sub-scales that relate to various aspects of a patient's upper and lower extremity, and the sub-scales are as follows: [4] Motor; Balance; Sensation; Joint Range of Motion; Pain
Obligatory synergy patterns are observed when a patient tries to make a minimal voluntary movement, or as a result of stimulated reflexes. [1] The flexion synergy for the upper extremity includes scapular retraction and elevation, shoulder abduction and external rotation, elbow flexion, forearm supination, and wrist and finger flexion.

Cutaneous innervation of the upper limbs is the nerve supply to areas of the skin of the upper limbs (including the arm, forearm, and hand) which are supplied by specific cutaneous nerves. Modern texts are in agreement about which areas of the skin are served by which cutaneous nerves, but there are minor variations in some of the details.
The central pattern generator (CPG) from the model is simulated as a network of spinal neurons that controls the basic locomotor output. [8] An effective locomotion of the model must involve a flexible coordination of spinal cord neuronal networks, thus allowing various gait patterns and independent use of the limbs.
Distal muscular dystrophy, also called distal myopathy, is essentially any muscle disease that preferentially affects the hands and/or feet, a much less common pattern than proximal muscle weakness. Late adult-onset type 1; Late adult-onset type 2a; Late adult-onset type 2b; Early adult-onset type 1; Early adult-onset type 2; Early adult-onset ...

“For example, a dog may have a three-to six-hour rhythm, and so that's why they're sleeping part of the time, and then they're up,” says Dr. Pristas. “Human beings have a sleep pattern that ...
An upper limb neurological examination is part of the neurological examination, and is used to assess the motor and sensory neurons which supply the upper limbs. This assessment helps to detect any impairment of the nervous system, being used both as a screening and an investigative tool.
