Compression or stretching of the oculomotor nerve were considered possible causes, but the related mechanisms of coning and the importance of lateral shift were only more recently realised.","PeriodicalId":34274,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Clinical Neuroscience Rehabilitation","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77178182","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most, if not all, neurologists will be familiar with Gowers' sign or manoeuvre observed in patients with proximal lower limb and trunk weakness as they attempt to rise from the ground, a sign also known as \" climbing up oneself \" or, in North America, as the \" butt-first manoeuver \" , most typically seen in boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a disorder which Gowers knew as pseudohypertrophic muscular paralysis and on which he wrote a monograph. Those familiar with the anatomy of the spinal cord will know of Gowers' tract (ventral or anterior spinocerebellar tract). Gowers was a fecund and lucid writer, author of many publications, both papers (more than 300) and books (Box), which culminated in the Manual of Diseases of the Nervous System. This book has been variously described as \" the greatest single-author comprehensive textbook of clinical neurology ever published \" (Ref 3, p. 250) and as the \" Bible of Neurology \" , 4 and is perhaps Gowers' most enduring monument. Its two volumes first appeared in 1886 (\" Diseases of the nerves and spinal cord \") and 1888 (\" Diseases of the brain and cranial nerves. General and functional diseases of the nervous system \"), with a second edition in 1892 (Volume 1) and 1893 (Volume 2). A third edition of volume 1 appeared in 1899, co-authored with Dr James Taylor, but although preparations for a third edition of volume 2 were made this was never published. Parts of a manuscript marked with Gowers' proposed corrections survive in the Queen Square archives (Ref 3, p. 149), with new information particularly relating to nystagmus and myasthenia. 4 Gowers' neurological interests were very broad, but perhaps particularly related to epilepsy, 5 syphilis (especially tabes and locomotor ataxy), movement disorders, including \" paralysis agitans \" (Parkinson's disease) and \" scrivener's palsy \" (writer's cramp), and migraine. The student of cognitive neurology is disappointed to learn from his biographers that \" from a survey of all Gowers' publications one gains the impression that he was not particularly interested in higher cerebral …","PeriodicalId":34274,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Clinical Neuroscience Rehabilitation","volume":"246 2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72812240","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mild traumatic injury (mTBI) accounts for approximately 80% of traumatic brain injuries [1]. Traumatic brain injuries at the milder end of the spectrum which lead to persisting difficulties have been referred to as postconcussion syndrome / postconcussion disorder [2,3]. Individuals with persistent difficulties following a traumatic brain injury at the milder end of the spectrum may be assessed and treated by Neurology, Neuropsychology, and Neuropsychiatry. There has been ongoing research looking at outcomes following traumatic brain injury at the milder end of the spectrum, the validity of postconcussion syndrome/disorder, and treatment of symptoms following milder traumatic brain injuries. This paper will review some of the research in these important areas within neurorehabilitation.","PeriodicalId":34274,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Clinical Neuroscience Rehabilitation","volume":"38 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75980153","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
