loss of motor control with panic attacks

Loss of motor control with panic attacks: Motor control is a key component in injury prevention. Loss of motor control involves failure to control joints,

commonly because of incoordination of the agonist-antagonist muscle co-activation. Three subsystems work together to maintain spinal stability: The

central nervous subsystem (control), the osteoligamentous subsystem (passive), and the muscle subsystem (active).

There is evidence that loss of motor control with panic attacks the effects of breathing pattern disorders, such as hyperventilation, result in a variety of

negative psychological, biochemical, neurological and biomechanical influences and interferences, capable of modifying each of these three

subsystems. Breathing pattern disorders (the extreme form of which is hyperventilation), automatically increase levels of anxiety and apprehension,

which may be sufficient to alter motor control and to markedly influence balance control. Hyperventilation results in respiratory alkalosis, leading to

reduced oxygenation of tissues (including the brain), smooth muscle constriction, heightened pain perception, speeding up of spinal reflexes,

increased excitability of the corticospinal system, hyperirritability of motor and sensory axons, changes in serum calcium and magnesium levels, and

encouragement of the development of myofascial trigger points — all or any of which, in one way or another, are capable of modifying normal motor

control of skeletal musculature.
