The TFR is a sign of upper motor neuron impairment. It does not typically appear for several days after an injury but in patients with pre-existing myelopathy, an early onset exaggerated Babinski response exhibited as a TFR may occur. It is important not to misinterpret such responses as volitional movements, particularly in patients with cognitive dysfunction where the history and physical examination may be limited. Failure to immobilize the spine and to administer adjunct steroid therapy may be detrimental to the patient. Education of initial response physicians may prevent overlooking an acute SCI.

Cysts that are clearly associated with threat of progressive neurological loss or intractable, unremitting symptoms should be released by a decompression procedure.
In our case series, percutaneous aspiration has been successfully used for 3 of 4 PTs with marked decrease in size of cyst on imaging and clinical improvement.
Obstructing pathology and ultimately the location of the cyst can be major factors in determining the success of the procedure.
Our study demonstrated that a minimally invasive aspiration of a ZP SC can often achieve clinical improvement.
This may save the PT from undergoing an invasive surgical decompression.

Although dual-task interference has previously been demonstrated to have a significant effect on postural control among individuals with Parkinson's disease, the impact of speech complexity on postural control has not been demonstrated using quantitative biomechanical measures. The postural stability of twelve participants with idiopathic Parkinson's disease and twelve healthy age-matched controls was evaluated under three conditions: (1) without a secondary task, (2) performing a rote repetition task and (3) generating a monologue. Results suggested a significant effect of cognitive load on biomechanical parameters of postural stability. Although both groups increased their postural excursion, individuals with Parkinson's disease demonstrated significantly reduced …
