Spasticity and muscle contracture following stroke.
It has become increasingly recognized that the major functional deficits following brain damage are largely due to "negative' features such as weakness and loss of dexterity rather than spasticity. A variety of studies suggest that spasticity is a distinct problem and separate from the loss of dexterity, but that it may be implicated in the formation of muscle contracture and even in the recove...
متن کاملBrainstem Stroke and Increased Anal Tone.
After suffering a brainstem stroke, a 62-year-old man developed locked-in syndrome including loss of horizontal eye movement and increased anal tone. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the patient revealed a massive stroke in the pons and right cerebellum, which seemed to involve the pontine micturition/defecation center (Barrington's nucleus) and the rostral pontine reticular formation (RPRF)...
متن کاملVitamin D and Ischemic Stroke
Introduction: stroke is the most important brain disease. Stroke leads to a reduction in bone density, altered calcium homeostasis, and an increase in hip fractures. Some recent studies show effects of vitamin D on stroke and vice versa. The purpose of this study was to determine of serum vitamin D levels in patients with acute stroke. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we compared t...
متن کاملProgressive resistance training after stroke: effects on muscle strength, muscle tone, gait performance and perceived participation.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of progressive resistance training on muscle strength, muscle tone, gait performance and perceived participation after stroke. DESIGN A randomized controlled trial. SUBJECTS Twenty-four subjects (mean age 61 years (standard deviation 5)) 6-48 months post-stroke. METHODS The training group (n = 15) participated in supervised progressive resistance training...
متن کاملRehabilitation After Ischemic Stroke
Background and Purpose: Permanent neurological deficits after ischemic stroke are primarily determined by the location and size of an infarct, but social recovery and rehabilitation also depend on the functional status of brain tissue outside the infarct. Since neuronal loss and functional deactivation in peri-infarct tissue are reflected as changes in flow and metabolism, measurement of glucos...
