Description
Steven Rose introduces the programme which will look at the control of locomotion in humans by the central and peripheral nervous systems. Clifford Rose with a simplified diagram of the human nervo...us system which controls locomotion. He points out the various parts and neural pathways. C. Rose with an anatomical model showing the human nervous system. He points out the various parts. Shots of a patient walking up and down in a room. Shots of C. Rose examining the patient's feet. One foot is normal, the other very weak. He explains that a lesion of the nerve at the fibia causes this loss of control over the foot. Shots of another patient walking up and down in a room. This patient has bilateral foot trouble. C. Rose explains that this is due to an upper motor neural region lesion. He tells how he diagnosed the problem, Shots of C. Rose testing the patients reflexes to determine the location of the lesion. Clifford Rose explains how the difference between the two patients is determined. He shows a table from one of his books which lists the symptoms for each of the two types of neural disorders. Shots of patient walking up and down in a room with the aid of a walking stick. Shots of the same patient sitting in a chair. He has severe weakness in his left arm as well as his left foot. C. Rose explains that the patient suffers from paralysis down the whole of his left side an upper motor neurone lesion involving the whole side of the body. C. Rose uses the diagram to explain that this paralysis is most likely to be a brain lesion rather than spinal cord lesion. Shots of a female patient walking up and down in a room. C. Rose tests the co-ordination of the patient's hands and for ability to make rapid alternate movements. C. Rose explains that this patient suffers from lack of co-ordination - locomotor ataxia. He describes her symptoms. With the nervous system diagram as an aid he explains that her condition due to a lesion in the cerebellum. Shots of a female patient walking up and down in a room. C. Rose performs the co-ordination and rapid alternating movements tests on this patient. This patient suffers from the same lack of co-ordination as the patient above but is capable of rapid alternating movements. She has a very marked tremor even during inactivity. C. Rose explains that this condition is due to a lesion of the extra paramental pathway. He points this out in his diagram of the nervous system. C. Rose uses his anatomical model of the nervous system to point out those parts which were responsible for all the above conditions. Shots of a young male patient walking up and down in a room. C. Rose asks students to decide where the lesion occurs in this patient. Shots of the same patient getting up from a prone position. C. Rose points out the point of lesion in this patient on his nervous system diagram. The patient suffers from muscular dystrophy. Shots of a female patient walking up and down the room. C. Rose describes her symptoms. Shots of the same patient squeezing C. Rose's hand then being asked to let go quickly. The patient suffers from delayed relaxation of muscles. He points out where the lesion is in her case using his diagram.
