Talk:Synkinesis

Synkinesis and Congenital Mirror Motions
Instead of saying "Synkinesis is the result from miswiring of nerves after trauma", wouldn't it be correct to say that "Synkinesis results from the miswiring of nerves after trauma"? Isn't synkinesis a particular symptom of the rewiring (as shown by the subsequent example in the article), not the rewiring itself. If this wasn't the very first sentence of the article and if synkinesis had already been defined, it wouldn't matter so much.

It would be useful to clarify if persons who have congenital mirror motions are classified as having synkinesis of some form. It would be helpful to reassure people who do have mirror motions in their hands that this is not necessarily a serious medical problem. It has never bothered me ... well, perhaps it would have been nice to be a great pianist. I mean that it is not a severe disability.
