متن کاملFunctional Outcomes of Childhood Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy 20 to 28 Years Later
BACKGROUND Selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR) is a surgical method used to treat childhood spastic cerebral palsy (CP). However, the effects of early SDR on functional outcomes and quality of life decades later in adulthood remains to be elucidated. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the long-term outcomes in terms of satisfaction and mobility of adult patients who received childhood SDR. METHODS Adult p...
متن کاملSelective dorsal rhizotomy for spastic cerebral palsy.
Spast ic i ty is def ined as a movement disorder characterised by a velocity-dependent increase in tonic stretch reflexes. Children with spastic CP have a neuromuscular mobility impairment stemming from an upper motor neuron lesion in the brain over the areas in the motor cortex or the corticospinal tract, which descends in the spinal cord, in the lateral columns and carries signals for volunta...
متن کاملLong term cognitive outcomes 10 years after first episode schizophrenia
The natural history of neurocognition in schizophrenia is unclear, with great uncertainty over whether the common baseline, characterised by a range of functional and neurocognitive deficits reported in subjects with, and at risk of, schizophrenia can provide any prediction as to patient outlook and outcome. Several recent follow-up studies have tracked ‘change’ in neurocognition over time (Cen...
