Surgical treatment of spasticity by selective posterior rhizotomy: 30 years experience.
BACKGROUND Spasticity is a common neurologic disorder with adverse effects on the patient's function. Conservative management is unsuccessful in a significant proportion of patients and neurosurgical intervention should be considered. The mainstay of surgical treatment of spasticity is selective posterior rhizotomy, i.e., section of sensory nerve roots of the cauda equina. OBJECTIVE To report...
متن کاملNeurosurgical Management of Childhood Spasticity: Functional Posterior Rhizotomy and Intrathecal Baclofen Infusion Therapy
A paradigm shift is currently ongoing in the treatment of spasticity in childhood in Japan. Functional posterior rhizotomy (FPR), which was first introduced to Japan in 1996, is best indicated for children with spastic cerebral palsy, regardless of the clinical severity of spasticity. Surgery is generally carried out in the cauda equina, where the posterior root is separated from the anterior o...
متن کاملSelective posterior rhizotomy: results of five pilot cases.
We report on two patients with spastic quadriplegia and three patients with spastic diplegia who underwent selective posterior rhizotomy. The mean period of follow-up was 15 months (range, 12-21 months). The patients were assessed preoperatively and at 2 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year after surgery. Tests included those for muscle tone (using a modified Ashworth scale), range of passive ...

در این پایان نامه، درهمتنیدگی بین یک سیستم نقطه کوانتومی دوگانه(مولکول نقطه کوانتومی) و میدان مورد مطالعه قرار گرفته است. از آنتروپی ون نیومن به عنوان ابزاری برای بررسی درهمتنیدگی بین اتم و میدان استفاده شده و تاثیر پارامترهای مختلف، نظیر تونل زنی(که توسط تغییر ولتاژ ایجاد می شود)، شدت میدان و نسبت دو گسیل خودبخودی بر رفتار درجه درهمتنیدگی سیستم بررسی شده اشت.با تغییر هر یک از این پارامترها، در...
15 صفحه اولDiscriminative Generalized Hough Transform for Localization of Lower Limbs
A fully automatic iterative training approach to generate discriminative shape models for usage in the Generalized Hough Transform (GHT) is presented. The method aims at capturing the shape variability of the target object contained in the training data as well as identifying confusable structures (anti-shapes) and to integrate this information into one model. To distinguish shape and anti-shap...
