A Study Of Menstruation In Young Chinese Female Athletes, Choon-Khim Chong, May-Kuen Wong
Rehabilitation Practice and Science
In order to investigate the problem of menstrual dysfunction among young female athletes in the Chinese population.152 female athletes participating in the 1988 Taiwan Area Athletic Meet (TAAM) were surveyed via questionnaire. Among the athletes who were younger than 18 years, those who were premenarchetrained had delayed menarche (13.7±1.1 years), which was statistically significant, when compared with the postmenarche-trained group (13.0±1.4 years)and the college students in general population(12.8±1.0 years) (p＜0.05 and p＜0.0001,respectively).For the problem of irregular menstrual pattern,athletes who were trained after menarche were studied. It was found that the percentage of athletes with regular menstrual cycle declined from 78% …

Quantitative Analysis Of Elbow Flexor And Elbow Extensor In Hemiplegic Patients, Tsu-Sheng Shiau, Hwei-Rong Tseng, Tao-Chang Hsu
Rehabilitation Practice and Science
Subjective semi-quantitative method is often used to evaluate the severity of spasticity in clinical condition. The purpose of this study is to develope an objective and quantitative model to evaluate the severity of spasticity for hemiplegic patients. We utilize Kin-Corn III isokinetic machine to evaluate 16 hemiplegic patients with 8 velocities from 5 to 210 degrees per second. The elbow joints of subjects are pulled when subjects totally relaxed and under no influence of gravity. The curve of resistance force was recorded and analyzed. We found 150 degrees per second is the best velocity for the evluation. And for elbow …

The Effects Of Different Weight Bearing On Spasticity During Exercise In Stroke Patients, Sue-May Kang, Rai-Chi Chan, Tao-Chang Hsu
Rehabilitation Practice and Science
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of different weight bearing on reducing spasticity in stroke patients. Quantity of spasticity was defined as level of associated reaction during exercise. It can be measured by surface integrated EMG levels.Thirty cerebrovascular accident patients (Brunnstrom's stage II-V in upper extremity) performed forward target-touching exercise in sitting position. The exercise was performed with affected shoulder flexion and keeping elbow straight while the associated reaction in same side biceps brachii was monitored by integrated EMG levels and the weight bearing of both feet was measured by 2 weights. All factors influencing spasticity …

Effects Of Hip And Knee Angle To Kenn Flexion And Extension Torque In Isometric And Isokinetic Exercises, Shiu-Ching Lee, May-Kuen Wong, Yang-Hua Lin, Ho-Hsin Chey
Rehabilitation Practice and Science
In order to study the effects of hip and knee angle to knee flexion and extension torque and other measurements obtained from Cybex 340 isokinetic dynamometer in isometric and isokinetic exercises, twenty normal young adults were tested at various hip position(SITTING:hip 85°,SEMIRECLINED:hip 135°, SUPINE: hip 180°) and different speeds (ISOMETRIC:0° /sec, LOW SPEED ISOKINETIC:60°/sec, HIGH SPEED ISOKINETIC:180°/sec). Adequate warm-up exercise and rest was requested between each test in this study.In isometric flexion exercises, the greatest torque value was obtained at supine position. The torque value was decreasing as knee flexion angle increasing. In isometric extension exercises, there was no significant …

Using Spectrogram To Evaluate Dysarthric Treatment Effectiveness, Shu-Er Lee, Ma-Li Huang, Tao-Chang Hsu
Rehabilitation Practice and Science
Dysarthria may be defined as a group of speech disorders resulting from disturbance in muscular control due to damage in the central or peripheral nervous system. It encompasses coexisting neurogenic disorders of several or all the basic processes of speech - respiration, phonation, articulation, resonance and prosody. Although auditory discrimination can provide subjective evaluation of dysarthric speech before and after treatment, objective evaluation can help us to establish standards for clinical evaluation of acoustic charade- ristics.Six dysarthric and four normal control subjects were evaluated in this study. Sound spectrographic analysis was done of speech samples in vowel prolongation /ah/, oral …

Rehabilitation Practice and Science
Ankylosing spondylitis presents various clinical symptoms and signs. It is classified as a seronegative spondyloarthropathy.The diagnosis is based upon radiographic sacroiliitis in the presence of clinical symptoms and signs. Although symptoms may occur anywhere in the spine including the neck, they are usually maximal in the lumbosacral area. Ankylosing spondylitis with its onset from the cervical spine is rare. A typical patient with ankylosing spondylitis develops back pain during the early 20s and the onset is insidious. Here we presents an unusual case with cervical spine involvement initially and relative late onset according to his age. A 40 years old …

Rehabilitation Practice and Science
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is not a rare disease in Taiwan. People with AS are prone to develop spinal fracture following trauma. The spine may become stiff and fragile as the effect of the disease process. This kind of spinal fractures most frequently affect cervical spine and result in severe neurological deficits. If it is not rational to stabilize the fractured spine surgically, a long period of immobilization may ensue prior to rehabilitation training. In addition, other manifestations of AS may further complicate the rehabilitation program. This casereport concerns the course and rehabilitation outcome of an AS patient complicated with traumatic …

Within a period of 8 months, we encountered 2 cases of spinal epidural abscess. The site of abscess and causative organism were lumbar spine with E. coli and thoracic spine with S. aureus respectively. The clinical courses of both cases did not follow the four phases described in literature for an epidural abscess. Spiking fever and chillness were the only prominent signs observed initially and back pain was not the chief complaint. However, neurological deterioration with urinary retention and paraplegia progressed rapidly. The time interval between onset of symptoms and appearance of paraplegia was 4 and 7 days for case …

Neck pain and neck stiffness are among the commonest clinical complaints resulting from atlantoaxial subluxation and dislocation and also most easily lead to misdiagnosis and inadequate management. We defined the clinical characteristics of atlantoaxial subluxation and/or dislocation in 25 patients hospitalized from Jan 1987 to Aug 1989, who were studied retrospectively. The commonest symptoms were found to be neck stiffness, followed by numbness of limbs, neck pain and motor weakness in decreasing frequency. The commonest physical findings were limitation of neck motion, followed by decrease of muscle power, sensory impairment and hyperreflexia in decreasing frequency.
