متن کاملImpact of Extension Splint on Upper Extremity Motor Components and Function in Chronic Stroke Patients
Objectives: Spasticity and contracture in flexor muscles of the wrist may occur after stroke, especially in which early recovery did not appear. Splints are prescribed to reduce spasticity and to prevent contracture after stroke. Although there is a few research in this field. The aim of this study was to examine the impact of the Extension splint on function, spasticity, and range of motion of...
متن کاملValidity and reliability of two abbreviated versions of the Gross Motor Function Measure.
BACKGROUND The "gold standard" for measuring gross motor function in children with cerebral palsy is the 66-item Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM-66). OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to estimate the validity and reliability of 2 abbreviated versions of the GMFM-66; one version involves an item set approach, and the other version involves a basal and ceiling approach. DESIGN This w...
