neuromuscular diseases are abnormal processes involving cns (central nervous system), pns (peripheral nervous system), nmj (neuromuscular junction), muscle or any combination of these. our goals in neuromuscular disease are maintenance of function, quality of life, educate patient and family, anticipate needs, expect change and prevent or delay complications. limb contractures and scoliosis, we...

Rehabilitation is the hallmark of the nonoperative treatment of anterior knee pain (AKP). Whether a patient has had appropriate rehabilitation can be assessed in the office with a selection of basic and advanced screening tests. Most important, providing specific instructions in your referral to a therapist skilled in treating patients with AKP can ensure that any identified deficits are approp...

[Purpose] This study investigated the effects of a 12-hour neuromuscular electrical stimulation program in the evening hours on upper extremity function in sub-acute stroke patients. [Subjects and Methods] Forty-five subjects were randomized to one of three groups: 12-hour neuromuscular electrical stimulation group (n=15), which received 12 hours of neuromuscular electrical stimulation and conv...

OBJECTIVE To demonstrate the response to a proprioceptive training model during a 1-week rehabilitation regime. The techniques were demonstrated on a college-aged female basketball player who had injured her anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) several weeks earlier. The athlete was tested, trained, and then retested during her semester break. BACKGROUND The ACL injury has become a fairly common ...

OBJECTIVE To discuss the role of the sensorimotor system as it relates to functional stability, joint injury, and muscle fatigue of the athletic shoulder and to provide clinicians with the necessary tools for restoring functional stability to the athletic shoulder after injury. DATA SOURCES We searched MEDLINE, SPORT Discus, and CINAHL from 1965 through 1999 using the key words "proprioceptio...

BACKGROUND Neuromuscular complications after critical illness are common and can be severe and persistent. To ameliorate complications, there is growing interest in starting physical medicine and rehabilitation therapy immediately after physiologic stabilization. The introduction of physical medicine and rehabilitation-related technology into the intensive care unit may help facilitate delivery...

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) noncontact injuries occur more frequently in female than in male athletes. Many studies investigated possible predisposing factors such as joint laxity, hormonal influences, lower limb alignment, notch shape and dimension, ligament size, and neuromuscular control. To our knowledge, there are no ACL rehabilitation protocols especially studied for women. Our appro...

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a systemic disease with multiple extrapulmonary manifestations including impeded skeletal muscle function, leading to decreased muscular strength and endurance in patients with COPD. Pulmonary rehabilitation eases the symptoms of the condition and produces increased muscular endurance. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) may serve as a tre...
