Capecitabine, an oral prodrug of 5-FU, has been approved by the FDA for use in patients with breast and colon cancers. In addition, capecitabine is commonly used in patients with other malignancies such as pancreatic, gastroesophageal, and hepatobiliary tract cancers. Though cerebellar toxicity is a rare but well-known side effect of intravenous 5-FU therapy, peripheral neuropathy with capecita...
Functional electrical stimulation (FES) is important in gait rehabilitation for patients with dropfoot. Since there are time-varying velocities during FES-assisted walking, it is difficult to achieve a good movement performance during walking. To account for the time-varying walking velocities, seven poststroke subjects were recruited and fuzzy logic control and a linear model were applied in F...
In herpes zoster infection, neurological complications may be overlooked because pain is a more prominent symptom and because peripheral polyneuropathy associated with weakness is rare. A 57-year-old male visited our hospital, complaining of pain and skin eruptions on the right flank. He was diagnosed as having herpes zoster and the symptoms were alleviated by administration of acyclovir for a ...
Peripheral neuropathies caused by ganglion cysts are quite rare, especially in the lower extremities. The case of a 64-year-old male with a 2-day history of foot drop and tenderness in the region of the left fibular neck is presented. Physical examination and electromyogram findings verified peroneal nerve palsy. Ultrasonography showed cystic mass localized proximal of the peroneal muscle struc...

با توجه به اینکه دیکلوفناک سدیم تنها فرم تزریقی موجود در بازار دارویی ایران است و اخیرا مواردی از عوارض این دارو دیده شده و خطرناکترین عارضهء این دارو foot drop ناشی از تزریق عضلانی در ناحیهء گلوتئال است جمع آوری، مطالعه و گزارش این موارد ضروری به نظر می رسید. اهداف مطالعه: اهداف کلی این مطالعه عبارت است از مطالعه و گزارشی منسجم از موارد foot drop متعاقب تزریق عضلانی دیکلوفناک سدیم در ناحیهء گل...
BACKGROUND Evidence supports peroneal nerve functional electrical stimulation (FES) as an effective alternative to ankle foot orthoses (AFO) for treatment of foot drop poststroke, but few long-term, randomized controlled comparisons exist. OBJECTIVE Compare changes in gait quality and function between FES and AFOs in individuals with foot drop poststroke over a 12-month period. METHODS Foll...
BACKGROUND Isolated acute foot drop due to traumatic brain injury is exceedingly rare and is often misdiagnosed during initial evaluation. Here, we present the case of a patient who presented with left foot drop after falling off a bicycle. CASE DESCRIPTION The patient is a 55-year-old male who was mountain biking when he fell, hit his head, and lost consciousness. Neurologic examination of t...
Stroke affects 700,000 Americans per year resulting in the largest cause of long-term disability in the United States. Dropfoot is a common condition associated with residual disabilities of stokes and is characterized as a paralysis or weakness of the dorsiflexor muscles of the foot and ankle. The result is an abnormal gait cycle caused by the dragging of the foot and toes during the swing pha...
