A walk after hemiplegia

Hip fracture after hemiplegia.

In a series of 57 hemiplegic patients who subsequently fractured their hips, it was found that hip fracture occurred significantly more often on the hemiplegic side. Hip fracture was equally common in right- and left-sided hemiplegia, and often occurred within one year of the stroke. Two factors seem to be important in the genesis of hip fractures in hemiplegic patients: the tendency of stroke ...

The process of recovery after hemiplegia.

The Process of Recovery After Hemiplegia • A group of 39 patients with hemiplegia due to cerebral infarction was followed from the time of onset for a period of at least 20 weeks. The subjects were selected on the basis of freedom from serious concomitant disease but having neurological disability persisting at least four weeks. The process of recovery was followed with standard neurological an...

Hemiplegia

The following case came under my observation during the winter of 1867:? Miss 0., a healthy, robust looking girl, of florid complexion, "with dark brown hair, aged 14, bora and brought up in the hills, was attacked with hemiplegia of the right side of the hody on the 5th February, after exposure to a heavy rain storm, while out for an airing the evening before. I first saw my patient on the mor...

A Random Walk with Exponential Travel Times

Consider the random walk among N places with N(N - 1)/2 transports. We attach an exponential random variable Xij to each transport between places Pi and Pj and take these random variables mutually independent. If transports are possible or impossible independently with probability p and 1-p, respectively, then we give a lower bound for the distribution function of the smallest path at point log...
