Effects Of Home-Based Modified Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy In Children With Spastic Cerebral Palsy: A Preliminary Study, Fei-Chuan Chen, Ching-Yi Wu, Hsieh-Ching Chen, Keh-Chung Lin, Chia-Ying Chung, Chia-Ling Chen

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

Previous studies have shown beneficial effects of modified constraint-induced movement therapy (mCIMT) in improving motor functions of the upper extremities in children with spastic cerebral palsy (CP). However, there are few studies which have used kinematic analysis to validate the effectiveness and mechanisms underlying motor improvement after mCIMT. To promote clinical applicability and children's compliance with mCIMT, this study attempted to investigate the effects of home-based mCIMT in children with spastic CP using integration of clinical measures and kinematic analysis.This study used a randomized controlled trial design. Twelve children with spastic CP (6 boys and 6 girls) were randomly assigned …

Bilateral Cataract Caused By High-Voltage Electrical Injury: A Casereport, Chin-Man Wang, Jui-Yung Yang, Pei-Ying Hsueh, Yu-Cheng Pei, Cheng-Fung Tsai, Katie P. Wu

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

Few victims can survive high-voltage electric burns in which the electricity passes through the scalp. Notably, 0.7% to 8.0% of these survivors will progressively develop cataracts caused by the electric injury. This report presents a unique case manifested with rapid visual deterioration as a result of posterior subcapsular cataract. A 36-year-old male was incidentally injured by an electric burn of 11,000 volts during work. Immediately following the injury, his vision remained sufficient in daily activities. Unfortunately, progressive non-painful visual loss developed in his right eye within a month during rehabilitation training and then later in the left eye. Ophthalmologist confirmed …


Ulnar, Median, And Radial Neuropathies After Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery: A Casereport, Wang-Lin Su, Chia-Yu Hsu Dec 2011

Ulnar, Median, And Radial Neuropathies After Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery: A Casereport, Wang-Lin Su, Chia-Yu Hsu

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

Peripheral neuropathies after cardiac surgery are usually attributed to manipulation during the surgical procedure itself. A 54-year-old man developed left ulnar, median, and radial neuropathies after off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery. An electrodiagnostic study indicated a lesion located in the distal part of the upper arm. In view of the anatomy, this patient most likely developed neuropathy associated with intraoperative blood pressure monitoring. Iatrogenic peripheral neuropathy after cardiac surgery should be carefully assessed to find the exact cause.

Dysphagia In Critical Illness Polyneuropathy And Myopathy: A Casereport, Hung-Chou Chen, Yen-Hsia Hsu, Shin-Ching Chen, Tyng-Guey Wang, Sung-Hui Tseng, Jiunn-Horng Kang

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

Critical illness polyneuropathy and myopathy (CIPNM) is a common complication seen in patients with critical illness. However, long-lasting oropharyngeal dysphagia in patients with CIPNM has not been reported previously. Besides, severe dysphagia is also a rare condition in patients with diabetes. Here, we present the case of a woman with diabetes, who developed neuromuscular weakness after recovery from severe pneumonia and respiratory failure. Brain lesion was excluded by magnetic resonance imaging of brain. CIPNM was confirmed by nerve conduction and electromyographic studies. Videofluoroscopic swallow study showed severe oropharyngeal dysphagia. The general weakness and functional status improved gradually after rehabilitation. However, …

Swallowing Therapy In Children With Bilateral Cleft Lip And Palate: A Casereport, Shih-Chung Chang, Ching-Ching Yang, Yu-Hui Huang

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

Other than craniofacial anomaly, children with cleft lip and palate usually have problems of speech and swallowing. Therefore, in addition to multiple sessions of operations for repair and reconstruction, active rehabilitation is also required to improve their function of speech and swallowing. This report disclosed a ten-year-old boy who depended on nasogastric tube feeding and respired via tracheotomy after birth because of bilateral cleft lip and palate as well as subglottic stenosis. He started training of swallowing and speech at the age of 8. However, having lacked adequate practice for a long period of time, coordination and strength of his …

Cerebral Infarction Following Traumatic Internal Carotid Artery Dissection Without Significant Neck Injury: A Casereport, Kwan-Shan Chan, Mao-Hsiung Huang, Chia-Hsin Chen

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

A 37-year-old female had an occlusion of right middle cerebral artery (MCA) due to traumatic internal carotid artery (ICA) dissection without significant neck injury after a traffic accident. Although this phenomenon has been documented in recent studies, it remains a relatively rare event. She presented with a left shoulder abrasion injury and mild neck pain initially, although there was no direct head injury or loss of consciousness after the traffic accident. After 12 hours, she had developed confusion, weakness over left limbs and slurred speech. A hyperdense area on the right frontotemporoparietal lobes was found on magnetic resonance imaging (diffusion-weighted …

“Reckoning” With America’S Past: Robert Penn Warren’S Later Poetry, Joan Romano Shifflett Dec 2011

“Reckoning” With America’S Past: Robert Penn Warren’S Later Poetry, Joan Romano Shifflett

Robert Penn Warren Studies

Robert Penn Warren’s later poetry, specifically Rumor Verified and Altitudes and Extensions, deserves closer critical attention to the function served by the American past. Whether it is facing the bloody reality of westward expansion or acknowledging the alienation and dehumanization that results from the Industrial Revolution, Warren’s poems suggest a method of self-reflection that yields a fuller sense of American identity and, consequently, an awareness and knowledge of how to live in this modern world. A close study of the poetic techniques in “Going West” serves as a model for how Warren uses historical backdrops to employ his underlying philosophy …

Time Trends In Expenditures For Rural Veterans' Healthcare, Alan N. West, Todd A. Mackenzie

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

We studied rural-urban differences in medical spending trends over eleven years for VA as well as non-VA care received by male veterans who used any VA services, and compared those trends to trends for other healthcare-using men. Using inflation-adjusted annual medical expenditures for non-veterans, VA users, and other veterans who participated in Medical Expenditure Panel Surveys from 1996 through 2006, we examined trends in spending on inpatient, hospital-based outpatient, office-based, pharmacy, and other care, by major payers (self/family, private insurance, Medicare, other sources, and VA), to assess changes in expenditures for the care of rural veterans, younger or older than …


Compensatory Assistive Technology For Adults With Cognitive Disabilities, Hsin-Yu Chen, Ling-Fu Meng Dec 2011

Compensatory Assistive Technology For Adults With Cognitive Disabilities, Hsin-Yu Chen, Ling-Fu Meng

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

People with cognitive disabilities often face difficulties when performing various activities in their daily lives. Although today's compensatory assistive technology (AT) can reduce the impact of such difficulties and enhance the quality of life in this population, universal guidelines for the appropriate application of cognitive AT have not been developed. The present study reviewarticleed and integrated information regarding models, assessments, selections, needs, and other relevant evidence. This paper presents a discussion of the limitations of current methods, and suggests novel approaches for the successful application of compensatory cognitive AT. The rehabilitative/compensatory model, the human activity assistive technology model, and the …


Ecological Executive Function Training In Patient With Brain Injury: A Casereport, Hsiao-Ting Ho, Yu-Hsin Wu, Mao-Hsiung Huang, Nai-Wen Guo Dec 2011

Ecological Executive Function Training In Patient With Brain Injury: A Casereport, Hsiao-Ting Ho, Yu-Hsin Wu, Mao-Hsiung Huang, Nai-Wen Guo

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

It has been reported that inappropriate behavior and cognitive/social dysfunction might be the result of poor impulse control after brain injury. A disorganized condition can be attributed to a failure to use a goal list. Goal management training (GMT), a neuropsychological rehabilitation program, was therefore designed for patients with poor inhibition, impaired goal- management and disorganized daily behavior. In this report, Ecological Executive Function Training (EEFT), based on the GMT model, was applied to a 55 year-old male patient with poor impulse control that was secondary to brain injury. The treatment lasted for two weeks and aimed to improve his …
