Unilateral versus bilateral upper limb training after stroke: the Upper Limb Training After Stroke clinical trial.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Unilateral and bilateral training protocols for upper limb rehabilitation after stroke represent conceptually contrasting approaches with the same ultimate goal. In a randomized controlled trial, we compared the merits of modified constraint-induced movement therapy, modified bilateral arm training with rhythmic auditory cueing, and a dose-matched conventional treatment. ...
متن کاملPediatric Traumatic Limb Amputation: The Principles of Management and Optimal Residual Limb Lengths
Pediatric traumatic limb amputations are rare and their acute and long term management can be challenging in this subgroup of patients. The lengthy and costly hospital stays, and resulting physical and psychological implications leads to significant morbidity. We present a summary of treatment principles and the evidence base supporting the management options for this entity. The initial manage...

متن کاملPerceptions of the risks and benefits of upper limb transplantation among individuals with upper limb amputations.
BACKGROUND Upper limb transplantation is a life-enhancing rather than life-saving procedure. Little research has investigated how individuals with upper limb amputations perceive the benefits and risks of this complex procedure. To address this knowledge gap, the authors conducted qualitative research with individuals with upper limb amputations to understand their perspectives. METHODS Twent...
متن کاملUpper-limb pain in long-term poliomyelitis.
BACKGROUND Late functional deterioration is common in long-term poliomyelitis patients. While upper-limb pain in individual functional regions is common, its overall prevalence and pattern in long-term poliomyelitis is poorly documented. AIM To assess the nature of upper-limb pain in these patients and examine its association with dependence on mobility aids (and therefore upper limb 'overuse...
