| posture | The position of the limbs or the carriage of the body as a whole. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| posture sense | The ability to recognise the position in which a limb is passively placed, with the eyes closed. Synonym: position sense. (05 Mar 2000) |
| decerebrate | 1. To cause decerebration. 2. Denoting an animal so prepared, or a patient whose brain has suffered an injury which renders him in his neurologic behaviour comparable to a decerebrate animal. (05 Mar 2000) |
| decerebrate reflex | <neurology, physiology> Spontaneous extension of elbows, wrists and legs which suggests damage to the diencephalon (midbrain). Seen in cases of stroke and some cases of encephalitis. The decerebrate reflex is a clinical finding characterised by rigid contraction of the extensor and other muscles which maintain an animal in the standing position (antigravity muscles), may be seen in association with a severe stroke, intracranial haemorrhage, cerebral haemorrhage, cerebral toxin or transection of the brain below the level of the anterior corpora quadrigemina but above the vestibular nuclei, clinically may be preceded by decortication.

| decerebrate rigidity | <clinical sign, neurology> Spontaneous extension of elbows, wrists and legs which suggests damage to the diencephalon (midbrain). Seen in cases of stroke and some cases of encephalitis.

(27 Sep 1997) |
| decerebrate state | A peculiar neurologic condition elicited in vertebrates as a consequence of the elimination of brain function by transecting the brainstem or interrupting function by other techniques. Clinically, brain damage can result in neurological signs resembling those of a decerebrate animal. The state consists of exaggerated postures, grossly abnormal reflexes, convulsions, and extreme muscular rigidity and spasticity. (12 Dec 1998) |
| decerebrate posture |
Exaggerated posture of extension as a result of a lesion to the prepontine area of the brain stem, and is rarely seen fully developed in humans. In reporting, it is preferable to describe the posture seen.

| decerebrate posture |
The rigid body position assumed by a patient who has lost cerebral control of spinal reflexes, usually as a result of an intracranial catastrophe. The patient's arms are stiff and extended, the forearms are pronated, and the
