PURPOSE The Upper Limb Physician's Rating Scale (ULPRS) is a tool that assesses movement quality of the upper limbs. It is used as an outcome measure after botulinum toxin type A injection in children with cerebral palsy (CP). This study aimed to investigate the reliability and validity of the ULPRS in children with spastic CP. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty children with spastic CP (M:F=17:13)...
BACKGROUND Lower limb rotational anomalies in spastic diplegic children with cerebral palsy (CP) are common and difficult to identify through physical examination alone. The identification and treatment of the overall rotational disorders must be considered to restore physiological lever-arms lengths and lever-arms orientation.The aims of the study were to assess the prevalence of lower limb ro...
This study describes a novel pediatric upper limb motion index (PULMI) for children with cerebral palsy (CP). The PULMI is based on three-dimensional kinematics and provides quantitative information about upper limb motion during the Reach & Grasp Cycle. We also report key temporal-spatial parameters for children with spastic, dyskinetic, and ataxic CP. Participants included 30 typically-develo...
We collected the gait parameters and lower limb joint kinematics of patients with three different types of primary degenerative neurological diseases: (i) cerebellar ataxia (19 patients), (ii) hereditary spastic paraparesis (26 patients), and (iii) Parkinson's disease (32 patients). Sixty-five gender-age matched healthy subjects were enrolled as control group. An optoelectronic motion analysis ...
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to test the effects of low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) over the non-lesional hemisphere on motor neuron excitability of the paretic upper limb in post-stroke patients by electrophysiological examination. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirteen post-stroke patients with spastic upper limb hemiparesis were studied (age, 57.5 ± 11...
Here a young patient (< 21 years of age) with a history of infective dermatitis is described. The patient was diagnosed with myelopathy associated with HTLV-1/tropical spastic paraparesis and treated with interferon beta-1a. The disease was clinically established as HTLV-1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP), and laboratory tests confirmed the presence of antibodies to ...
“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...
The successful rehabilitation of people with upper limb neuro-motor impairment depends largely on the appropriate selection and validation of a set of exercises. In this paper a knowledge-based system (KBS) for selecting a set of exercises to suit a particular patient status is proposed. Also a model of a mechatronic limb that simulates the human arm spastic characteristics will be developed. T...
spastic paraplegia 18 is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by motor dysfunction, joint contracture and mental retardation. we describe two families as three cases. case 1 is a 35-year-old woman with and spasticity and mild weakness in lower limbs. case 2 and 3 are a sister and brother aged six and two respectively. the older sister suffered from lower limb spasticity, equinovarus an...
