Clinical Outcome Assessments for Functional Performance in Spastic Paresis: Systematic Review, Critique, and Recommendations

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Spastic paresis, resulting from central nervous system lesions, significantly impairs functional performance. In the framework of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health, functional performance was defined as functioning at the activity level in relation to the impairment of body functions and ...

Post-activation depression of the lower extremities in stroke patients with spasticity and spastic equinovarus deformity [PDF]

Arquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria, 2015
This study aimed to investigate changes of post-activation depression in two groups of patients with or without spastic equinovarus deformity (SED). Paired and independent t-tests were used to compare post-activation depression within and between the groups, respectively.

Warm-needle moxibustion for spasticity after stroke: A systematic review of randomized controlled trials

, 2018
Background: Spasticity is a common post-stroke complication, and it results in substantial deterioration in the quality of life of patients. Although potential positive effects of warm-needle moxibustion on spasticity after stroke have been observed ...

The predictive nature of diagnostic nerve blocks for lower extremity spasticity management with botulinum toxin and neurotomy: A systematic review

PM&R, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction/Objective Diagnostic nerve blocks (DNBs) involve the injection of anesthetic around peripheral nerves to temporarily reduce motor tone. Although they are used clinically to inform spasticity treatment with neurotomy and chemodenervation, there is little research exploring the predictive nature of DNBs.

Quantitative Ultrasound to Assess Skeletal Muscles in Post Stroke Spasticity

Journal of Central Nervous System Disease, 2021
Quantitative ultrasound (QUS) techniques such as pixel intensity, ultrasound strain, and shear wave elastography have made it possible to identify the echogenicity (brightness) and mechanical properties (stiffness) of normal and pathological tissues ...

Can Incobotulinumtoxin-A Treatment Improve Quality of Life Better Than Conventional Therapy in Spastic Muscle Post-Stroke Patients? Results from a Pilot Study from a Single Center

Brain Sciences, 2021
Post-stroke spasticity frequently occurs in patients with stroke, and there is a need for more quality-of-life assessments for different therapies. We evaluated for the first time in Romania the quality of life among patients with post-stroke spasticity,

The Panorama of Cerebral Palsy in Sweden Part XIV Shows Further Decrease in Prevalence and Severity in the Birth‐Years 2015–2018

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim To describe prevalence, background and gross motor function of cerebral palsy (CP) in western Sweden 2015–2018 and compare to birth‐years 1999–2014. Methods Population‐based study covering 108 963 live births in 2015–2018. Birth characteristics, neuroimaging findings and motor outcome were analysed and prevalence calculated and compared to

Time related changes of post-stroke spasticity

Annals of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine, 2018
Introduction/Background Post-stroke spasticity (PSS) is one of functional barrier for stroke survivors. There is a need for early identification and understanding of change of PSS over time. Therefore, we want to establish the change of post-stroke spasticity until 12 months from the onset of stroke.

Input Visualizations to Track Health Data by Older Adults with Multiple Chronic Conditions

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Older adults living with multiple chronic conditions (MCC) can considerably benefit from collecting and reflecting on their health data. Many older adults collect their health data using various approaches, such as digital tools or handwritten notebooks.

Disproportional ventilatory response to incremental exercise in individuals with cerebral palsy

Developmental Medicine &Child Neurology, EarlyView.
Individuals with cerebral palsy demonstrate a disproportionate ventilatory response during incremental exercise. Compared with typically developing peers, respiratory frequency increases earlier and at comparable exercise intensities, contributing to higher perceived exertion and reduced ventilatory efficiency. At task failure, respiratory frequency is
