objectives: hemiplegia is a non-progressive damage in premature growing brain which causes movement disorders in one side of the body. the objective of present research is to study the method of modified constraints induced movement therapy (cimt) which can be appropriate on unimanual and bimanual functions of children with hemiplegia. methods: this single-blinded, randomized, control trial stu...

results in the control group, barthel and fugl-meyer indices showed significant improvement (p = 0.01, p = 0.00), while in the experimental group, significant improvement in barthel and fugl-meyer indices and dynamometers has been observed (p = 0.01, p = 0.00, p = 0.007). conclusions rtms can improve hand muscle force and functions of patients with chronic hemiplegia, while conventional treatme...

Anosognosia for hemiplegia (AHP) is relatively common among patients who suffer from a stroke. It is characterized as a denial of bodily paralysis and the complexity of studying it is evident. Anosognosia is a neuropsychological deficit of self-awareness and most frequently associated with both cortical and subcortical lesions distributed within the right hemisphere, resulting in a left hemiple...

Elderly stroke outpatients, without aphasia, hemiplegia, or spatial neglect in their post-acute phase, are typically monitored on a quarterly, physician-visit schedule. Thus, the patient's status goes unreported between visits unless remarkable untoward event occurs.

We report a 10-year-old Saudi girl who has Fanconi anemia (FA) and was admitted due to acute hemiplegia, of the right side. She had a previous attack of left side hemiplegia that resolved spontaneously. The brain magnetic resonance angiography showed a cerebrovascular pattern of moyamoya disease. She underwent partially matched related donor stem cell transplantation (SCT), but unfortunately di...
