Objectives: One of the most disabling impairments following stroke is upper limb impairment. Despite the important role of somatosensory function in motor control and high prevalence of somatosensory deficits in stroke survivors, little attention has been paid to its effect on UE motor function in chronic stroke survivors. Thus, the aim of this study is to explore the correlation between differ...

We report a case of multiple upper limb fractures resulting from road traffic accident, wherein the patient declined general anesthesia. Instead, we successfully administered anesthesia using ultrasound-guided supraclavicular and suprascapular nerve blocks, combined with continuous perineural brachial plexus block. The surgical procedure was completed within six hours, no complications were enc...

BACKGROUND Upper limb function plays a significant role in enhancing independence for individuals with tetraplegia. However, there is limited knowledge about the specific input of sensorimotor deficits on upper limb function. Thus the theoretical framework designed to develop the Graded Redefined Assessment of Strength Sensibility and Prehension (GRASSP) was used as a hypothetical model to anal...

hypertonicity is the most common type of cerebral palsy consists of 85% of the affected children. it has a very complex nature making intervention and management very difficult. this article tries to make reader familiar with various types of intervention and introduce a new intervention process to help clinicians decide better. literature was reviewed with two criteria including: identifying v...

We report a rare case of left axillary artery injury associated with anterior dislocation of the left shoulder in a 25 yrs old male as a result of a road traffic accident. The shoulder dislocation was reduced. A left upper limb angiogram showed an obstructed left axillary artery. The obstructed segment was surgically reconstructed with a Dacron graft. Six months post operation in follow up, he ...

OBJECTIVE To determine upper limb function and associated factors in adults with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SUBJECTS A sample of 70 men with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (age range 20-43 years). METHODS General motor function and, in particular, upper limb distal motor function, were assessed with the Motor Function Measure. Muscle strength and range of moti...

In this case report, we discuss the presentation, physical examination, imaging studies, and diagnosis of a rare vascular lymphatic malformation in upper limb 3-year old child. Vascular malformations are uncommon conditions, which can be misidentified as malignant tumours children at first glance. The image study is essential to identify them decide best treatment strategy each situation.
