Functional test for the hemiparetic upper extremity.
A test, called the Functional Test, that evaluates the integrated function of the total upper extremity of an adult hemiparetic patient has been developed. It was used with 82 patients admitted to Rancho Los Amigos Hospital for stroke rehabilitation, together with a battery of six objective test measures. Sequential testing by two examiners demonstrated that the test had interrater reliability....
متن کاملAn upper extremity kinematic model for evaluation of hemiparetic stroke.
Quantification of rehabilitation progress is necessary for accurately assessing clinical treatments. A three-dimension (3D) upper extremity (UE) kinematic model was developed to obtain joint angles of the trunk, shoulder and elbow using a Vicon motion analysis system. Strict evaluation confirmed the system's accuracy and precision. As an example of application, the model was used to evaluate th...
متن کاملNeurorehabilitation with new functional electrical stimulation for hemiparetic upper extremity in stroke patients.
In recent years, our understanding of motor learning, neuroplasticity, and functional recovery after the occurrence of brain lesion has grown significantly. New findings in basic neuroscience have stimulated research in motor rehabilitation. Repeated motor practice and motor activity in a real-world environment have been identified in several prospective studies as favorable for motor recovery ...
متن کاملNormative data for the lower extremity functional scale (LEFS)
Background and purpose - The lower extremity functional scale (LEFS) is a well-known and validated instrument for measurement of lower extremity function. The LEFS was developed in a group of patients with various musculoskeletal disorders, and no reference data for the healthy population are available. Here we provide normative data for the LEFS. Methods - Healthy visitors and staff at 4 hospi...
متن کاملImplant Removal Matrix for the Upper Extremity Orthopedic Surgeon
Orthopedic implant removal is a commonly performed procedure. While implant removal can be associated withimproved symptoms, risks of the surgery are notable. Stripped screws, broken and retained hardware, and morbidityassociated with soft tissue compromise during difficult removal are all common. Familiarity with the instruments iscritical to procedure success. The purpose of...
