Difficult conditions of the spastic upper limb
“Difficult” is a very relative terminology and “difficult” to generalize. The various operative procedures done in patients with spastic hand are not technically demanding but assessing and decision making is the real challenge in these patients. There are some difficulties, which I personally encounter while assessing these patients and they have a bearing on the decision making. There are som...
متن کاملStretch reflexes in the upper limb of spastic man.
The reflex response to stretch has been studied in the upper limb of 20 spastic patients. The amplitude of reflex EMG was found to be closely related to the velocity of stretch. Reflex EMG in biceps and triceps muscles was augmented by increasing the length of the muscle, although minimal inhibition of reflex EMG in biceps was obtained in two patients by extreme stretch. The clasp-knife sensati...

متن کاملKinematic properties of upper limb trajectories in idiopathic torsion dystonia.
The kinematic properties of upper limb trajectories of simple reaching movements have been analysed in patients with idiopathic torsion dystonia (ITD). The velocity profiles differed from those of neurologically healthy subjects by being less symmetric. In several patients movement execution was slow due to a longer deceleration time. This phenomenon was even more conspicuous in the absence of ...
متن کاملElbow Prosthesis for Partial or Total Upper Limb Replacements
While the prosthetic systems for hands amputation are fairly common, the active prostheses for the other joints of the upper limb are rarer. In addition to commercial reasons undoubtedly related to the low number of trans-humeral amputations than the hands amputations and to the exiguous number of shoulder disarticulation, technical reasons are also crucial. Among which, the electro-mechanical ...
