Medical - Medical (general) / Neurology
Flemish term or phrase: lesie
Bij patiënten met een hemiplegie treedt er een verandering op van de coordinatie van de verschillende spieren alsook een kwalitatieve en kwantitatieve ontregeling van de rekrutering van motorische eenheden, dit zowel voor paralytische spieren als voor spieren die beperkt zijn tot een synergetisch patroon. Door de **lesie** in de primaire motorneuronen is er slechts een gelimiteerde controle op het verdere verloop en voornamelijk op de motorneuronen die de distale segmenten bedienen.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you. The word lesie was actually used five times in the text, and then finally only last page the author used laesie. Go figure...
