Rehabilitation Practice and Science
The effect of scalp acupuncture with or without electrical stimulation has been used for years on improving the ambulation of stroke patients. However, the mechanism remains unclear. In this study, the changes in spinal motor neuron excitability of stroke patient were measured before and after scalp electroacupuncture. Thirty subjects with first stroke resulting in spastic hemiparesis or hemiplegia were studied. Two scalp acupuncture regions, the motor area and the motor-sensory area of foot, were inserted with a 1.5 inch scalp needle on both sides respectively. Each subject was stimulated with an electric current, from 7 mA to 12 mA at …

Rehabilitation Practice and Science
The diagnostic criteria of Brachmann-de Lange syndrome includes: 1. congenital malformations; 2. growth retardation; 3. neurodevelopmental delay. The prevalence estimated by Beck(1976) was 0.5/100,000, but as much as fivefold byOpitz(1985). The etiology remains unknown. Although a few cases had evidence of genetic origin, the majorities were sporadic. Here we reported is a case with classic Brachmann-de Lange syndrome. He has classic facial features including synophrys, long eyelashes, log philtrum, thin upper lip and downturned corners of the mouth. Flexion contracture over bilateral elbow and hands are noted The head circomference, height and body weight and body weight are all below …

Embryo bisection may provide an attractive method for increasing the number of kids born to each donor doe. The present study was conducted to assess the feasibility of transferring goat demi-embryos, obtained from bisection, to increase the yield of offspring from each collection. Six blastocyst stage embryos, of good quality, were selected for bisection. Pairs of demi-embryos derived from these original embryos were transferred, either fresh, or after 3 hrs of culture in a holding medium, to 6 recipient does synchronized (±1 day) by intravaginal progestagen treatment. Three sets of twins and one single kid were produced by the 4 …

Rehabilitation Practice and Science
Cerebral amyloid angiopathy, defined as deposition of amyloid in the walls of brain vessels, is belived to be a common cause of intracerebral hemorrhage in the elderly. It differentiates from the intracerebral hemorrhage of hypertension by its specific location of bleeding. The hematoma from cerebral amyloid angiopathy, sometimes multilobar, is always located in the brain cortices and the white matter beneath them. In the previous reports, the presence of cerebral amyloid angiopathy accounts for 5-10% of non-traumatic cerebral hemorrhage. However, it has been overlooked or misdiagnosed all the time because of the lack of tissue proof. Recurrent bleeding occurs so …

A 25 years old male patient suffered from L1 compression fracture with weakness of both lower extremities and neurogenic bladder dysfunction 7 years prior to admission. Motor recovery over both lower extremities developed gradually that he could walk with bilateral axillary crutches later. However, the detrusor reflex did not restore so that a transurethral catheter had been left ever since he was injured. Frequent urinary tract infection manifested with fever and cloudy urine occurred off and on in the past years. Neither regular follow up nor urinary tract imaging study had been performed. Upon admission to our hospital, 5 bladder …

Cardiopulmonary Stress Testing In Children With Congenital Heart Disease After Surgery - A Preliminary Report, Chen-Liang Chou, Huey-Ling Yu, Tacho-Jen Liu, Tao-Chang Hsu
Rehabilitation Practice and Science
Most children with congenital heart disease (CHD) were restricted in their daily activities, which can affect their normal psychosocial development. In this study, we used cardiopulmonary stress testing to evaluate the cardiopulmonary responses of children with congenital heart disease surgery.The result showed that the pulmonary function was within normal limit. Though the incidence rate of abnormal ECG during exercise test was 54%, most of the subjects were asymptomatic. The percentage of functional aerobic impairment (FAI) was 22%, but is clinically insignifieant. It is concluded that children with CHD after surgery should not be restricted in their exercise activities, so they …

Effects Of Rote Exercise, Imagery, And A Material-Based Occupation On Postural Control In Children Ages 3-9, Robin Lengel
Masters Theses
Occupational therapy is based on the concept of enhancing motor, cognitive, sensory, and psycho-social performance through the utilization of purposeful activities. Purposeful activities are doing processes directed toward a planned or hypothesized end result, and can be naturalistic, simulated, or imagery-based (Nelson & Peterson, · 1989). This study compared the effects of a material-based occupation, imagery-based occupation, and rote exercise on the quality and duration of maintaining prone extension in children aged three to nine.· The quality of maintaining the posture was analyzed using the prone extension postural test (Gregory-Flock & Yerxa, 1984). Duration of prone extension for each child …

Pulmonary Function Following Cervical Cord Injury, Pao-Tsai Cheng, Mei-Yun Liaw, Meng-Chih Lin
Rehabilitation Practice and Science
Traumatic cervical cord injury with quadriplegia generally causes respiratory dysfunction. A total of 50 cervical cord injured patients were collected for study of their pulmonary function. They were divided into two groups. Twenty-six cases with complete motor paralysis below lesion site (Frankel A or B) were placed in Group A, the other 24 cases with incomplete motor function (Frankel C or D) were placed in Group B. Pulmonary function test was done by using spirometer at 1 month, 6 months and 12 months following cervical cord injury.The pulmonary function was significantly worse in Group A than in Group B.

Rehabilitation Practice and Science
Spinal meningioma is a well circumscribed benign tumor. It grows slowly and acounts for about 25% of primary spinal cord tumors. It occurs predominantly in women and in thoracic region. Sometimes, we mistook its early symptoms for another problems such as arthritis, arachnoiditis, peripheral nerve disease, or motor neuron disease etc. Fortunately, Patient with severe motor deficit less than two months may get satisfactory improvements after surgery. The recurrent rate of spinal meningioma is much lower than that of intracranial meningioma. We reported a case of spinal meningioma at T4 level. He was diagnosed initially as lumbar disc herniation and …

Osteogenesis imperfecta is an inherited disorder of connective tissue, which affects the skeleton, ligament, skin, sclera, and dentin. It often produces multiple fractures and spinal deformities complicated with cardiopulmonary dysfunction. Osteoarthropathy, among which, will produce chronic pain, and is the main cause of functional disturbance of this kind of patients. We report a 20-year-old male patient with Osteogenesis imperfecta, who suffered from multiple long bone fractures and spinal kyphoscoliosis since his childhood. Two months before this admission, he had experienced one episode of accident with marked left hip and left elbow pain due to left hip joint dislocation and left …

The Effects Of Risk Management Program Implementation On Worker Safety Knowledge, John C. Donnelly
Community & Environmental Health Theses & Dissertations
This study examined the effect of the implementation of a risk management program tool on worker safety knowledge in a composite building material fabrication facility whose workers suffered from an increasingly high injury (incidence) rate in recent years. Risk assessment codes (RACs) and job safety analyses (JSAs) were the primary tools used to introduce workers to the concept of risk. Because employee involvement is a crucial element in JSA development. employee input was frequently solicited throughout JSA development.
The study instrument consisted of a pre-test and post-test survey, to which an experimental and control group were subjected. The instrument was …

Periodic Paralysis With Thyrotoxicosis Casereport And Review Of Literature, Kuo-Chen Tseng, Chung-Miu Kaw, Yi-Shin Chen
Rehabilitation Practice and Science
Periodic paralysis is a repetitive, transient muscle weakness syndrome. It lasts from minutes to several hours even for days. It often involves proximal and trunk muscle groups, but rare in ocular, bulbar muscles. There is a striking predilection for young males. EMG studies reveal relationships between periodic paralysis and muscle membrane deplarization, and there is compound muscle action potential decrease after vigorous exercise. Potassium imbalance between intracelluar space and serum is the probable reason for this phenomenon. About 2-30% periodic paralysis has connections with thyrotoxicosis. Hyperthyroidism victim is more easiler to affect periodic paralysis than normal one. As some symptoms …
