Isolated congenital contralateral synkinesia means a person is born with involuntary movements on one side of the body that copy the voluntary movement on the other side. When the right hand moves on ...
Hereditary congenital mirror movements (often shortened to CMM) is a rare genetic movement condition present from early childhood. When a person tries to make a voluntary movement with one hand, the ...
Hereditary congenital contralateral synkinesia is a rare, lifelong movement disorder where an intentional movement on one side of the body is “mirrored” by an involuntary copy on the other side. For ...
Hand mirror movements are involuntary, copy-cat motions that appear in one hand while you are trying to move only the other hand. For example, when you pinch your right thumb and index finger ...
Familial congenital mirror movements is a rare, often lifelong condition where a voluntary movement on one side of the body (usually a hand or fingers) is unintentionally “mirrored” by very similar ...
Familial congenital contralateral synkinesia means a person is born with extra, unintended movements on one side of the body that copy (or “mirror”) the planned movement on the other side. For ...
Bimanual synkinesia means that when you choose to move one hand, the other hand makes the same unwanted movement at the same time. The two hands “mirror” each other. The movement on the opposite side ...
Benign congenital muscular dystrophies (CMDs)—genetic muscle disorders present from birth, such as LAMA2-related (merosin-deficient), collagen VI–related (Ullrich/Bethlem), and others. Congenital ...
Benign autosomal dominant myopathy is a hereditary muscle condition. Most people inherit one changed copy of a collagen-VI gene from a parent (autosomal dominant). Bethlem myopathy (Bethlem muscular ...
Bethlem myopathy is a rare, inherited muscle and connective-tissue condition. It causes slow-getting-worse (progressive) muscle weakness, early tight joints (called contractures), and unusually loose ...
Benign Samaritan congenital myopathy is a very rare, inherited muscle condition. Babies are born very “floppy” (low muscle tone) and can have trouble breathing. The face may look a bit different (for ...
Benign pseudohypertrophic muscular dystrophy is an older name for Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD). It is a genetic, X-linked muscle disease. “Pseudohypertrophic” means some muscles—often the ...
Benign congenital myopathy means a group of genetic muscle problems that start at birth or early childhood. The main signs are soft muscles (low tone), weak movements, slow motor milestones, and ...
X-linked recessive Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) is a genetic muscle disease. It happens when a change (mutation) in the DMD gene lowers the amount or quality of a muscle protein called ...
Becker dystrophinopathy is a genetic muscle disease. It causes slow loss of muscle strength over time. It mostly affects boys and men. It happens because the body makes too little or partly working ...
