"Complete motor locked-in" and consequences for the concept of minimally conscious state.
[locked-in syndrome]
The
demonstration
by
Monti
et
al
.
(
2010
)
of
willful
modulation
of
brain
activity
in
persistent
vegetative
state
implies
the
exceptional
condition
of
a
"
complete
motor
locked-
in
syndrome
.
"
As
a
consequence
,
the
contradictory
character
of
the
diagnosis
minimally
conscious
state
should
be
recognized
because
behaviorally
observed
minimal
cognitive
responsiveness
does
not
exclude
a
higher
level
of
well-differentiated
self-consciousness
.
Introduction
of
the
descriptive
entities
"
complete
motor
locked-
in
syndrome
"
and
"
minimal
cognitive
responsiveness
"
is
therefore
advocated
in
the
service
of
diagnostic
precision
.
