Changes Of Cmap Related To Wrist Angle, Chao-Jung Chen, Rai-Chi Chan, Tao-Chang Hsu
Rehabilitation Practice and Science
The purpose of this study is to determine the changes of the latency, duration , amplitude, and area of CMAP related to different wrist angle. (max flexion, flexion 30° , neutral, extension 30° , max extension) The results revealed there is significant changes in area, duartion & muscle length of flexor carpi radialis (P＜0.001), but not in latency & amplitude. And it is increasing trend related to increasing wrist angle. (P＜0.001) It is concluded that we must notice the pt's wrist angle when we perform the nerve conducation study.

Rehabilitation Practice and Science
Neurogenic bladder is a major problem for the spinal cord injured patients. A successful bladder training may not only reduce the mobility or mortality rate of these patients, but also improve the quality of their life and psychological outlook. However, it usually takes two to three months of bladder training to reach balanced status. This study was aimed to find the effect of electro-acupuncture in the management of neurogenic bladder in spinal cord injured patients.Totally 27 patients with complete spinal cord injury and neurogenic bladder were collected. Among them, 16 cases received electro-acupuncture at 4 acupoints: Chung Chi (CV3), Kuan …

New Design Functional Foot Orthosis In Flat Foot, Wen-Len Chen, Fuk-Tan Tang, May-Kuen Wong
Rehabilitation Practice and Science
The functional foot orthoses have been used as an important adjunct recently in the treatment of lower extremity dysfunction related to poor mechanics and alignment. Many different types of foot orthotics have been designed clinically. Commercially, insole materials are divided into four classes. Class I materials such as Aliplast and Plastazote provide cushioning for plantar surface while class Ⅱ materials such as PPT and Spenco act as shock absorber and provide antishearing effect. The class Ⅲ materials such as silicone and polyuethane are to absorb high energy impaction and class IV such as rigid orthosis provides foot control and support.In …

Intracavernous Injection Of Prostaglandin E1 In Spinal Cord Injured Patient With Erectile Dysfunction: A Preliminary Report, Fuk-Tan Tang, Pong-Yuen Wong, May-Kuen Wong
Rehabilitation Practice and Science
Sexual dysfunction with inadequate or poorly sustained erection is a common problem among spinal cord injured patients although reflex erection may be preserved in upper motor neuron lesion and lower motor neuron and psychogenic erection may be preserved in incomplete lesion respectively. Methods to restore erection, such as vaccum tumescense constriction therapy and penile prostheses may be useful but potentially have adverse effects. Recently, intracavernous injection of prostaglandin E1 has been found beneficial to patients with neurogenic erectile dysfunction.In our study, we administered intracavernous injection of prostaglandin E1 (PGE1), 15 μ g, to seven patients with neurogenic erectile dysfunction due …

Rehabilitation Practice and Science
The survival rate of high-risk premature baby is increasing in recent years because of improvement in medical technology for newborn care. Unfortunately, since many of them were born with one or some risk factors, the incidence to complicate with developmental disability, learning disability, emotional or behavior problems will be higher than general population. We started early intervention program for the prematurity in PICU and SBR in Oct., 1990 especially for those high-risk prematurity who combined with one or more risk factors as below: birth weight less than 1500 gm, gestational age below 32 weeks, ventilator requirment, grade III or IV …

Rehabilitation Practice and Science
Severe muscular spasticity in cerebral palsy not only causes functional impairment and difficulty in daily care, but also increases the incidence of musculoskeletal complication which includes joint contracture and deformity. Clinically, many ways are used to reduce muscle spasticity, such as therapeutic exercise, antispastic medication, orthosis, phenol intramuscular neuroloysis and orthopedic surgery, etc. Basically, their effects are transient and can last for variable duration. To reduce spasticity efficiently and for long term period if not permenantly is the issue many professionals have been working on. Selective posterior rhizotomy for two spastic diplegic cerebral palsy were performed in August, 1991. They …

Follw-Up Of Children With Development Language Delay: A Preliminary Report, Sung-Hui Tseng, Baii-Jia Yang, Chi-Ren Pan
Rehabilitation Practice and Science
Developmental language delay is one of the most common developmental problem found in preschool children. There is increasing evidence showing that early language delay is associated with later learning and behavior problems, and the language problem may also persist into later childhood. We followed 33 cases who had been diagnosed as language delay, at least 5 years ago, by questionnair. If the children had no neurological symptom and sign except language delay, the prognosis for achieving ADL independence and average performance in school works is good. All of the children who had neurological deficit have residual language problems, and more …

Rehabilitation Practice and Science
Low back pain is a frequent complaint in PM&R OPD. Tumors of the cauda equina play an uncommon but nevertheless important role in the ”sciatic syndrome”. Early detection will lower the risk of neurological sequelae. However, on clinical grounds alone, it is sometimes difficult to differentiate between a cauda equina tumor and a prolapsed interver-tebral disc. Recent advances in imaging techniques had increased the diagnostic rates. This study was based on 6 cases of ependymoma of the cauda equina, collected from January 1986 to May 1992 at VGHTC. Three of them were detected at PM&R OPD. The clinical symptoms, physical …

Rehabilitation Practice and Science
Intoxication of lithium carbonate may present as a multiple systematic dysfunction, but central and peripheral nervous involvement is rare and more troublesome. In the past, there was only one case of lithium intoxication with polyneuroparhy reported by Chang et al in Taiwan. We report here an additional 49 year-old man with manic-depressive psychosis. He received lithium carbonate medication treatment for 5 years and developed a severe cerebellar dysfunction and a mild sensori-motor polyneuropathy. Blood lithium level was 1.80meq/l two days after quitting lithium. Nerve conduction velocity studied, electromyography and sural nerve biopsy confirmed the peripheral neuropathy with marked evidence of …

This is a case of a 64-year-old male with difficulty in ambulation for 40 years. Physical examination revealed a defect in vibration and positional sense over the lower extremities. Muscle power of the upper extremities was normal. The lower extremities could still resist force, but there was a little atrophic change in the quadriceps muscle and weakness over the iliopsoas muscle.Laboratory data were all negative, including CSF, routine blood, urine and stool specimens. However, MRI revealed hypertrophy of the ligamentum flavum with spinal cord compression. CT with myelogram revealed T2-T10 spinal cord atrophy. SSEP revealed T-myelopathy. EMG revealed upper motor …

Rehabilitation Practice and Science
Peripheral neuropathy is an important complication of diabetes mellitus. However, neuropathological changes in diabetic neuropathy with axonal degeneration or segmental demyelination are still unclear. By using a newly developing electrodiagnostic method of single fiber electromyography (SFEMG) with a computer-aided program, mean jitter value and muscle fiber density were measured in extensor digitorum communis (EDC) and anterior tibial (AT) muscles from 36 diabetic patients with neuropathy (group 1) and 12 patients without neuropathy (group Ⅱ) proved by nerve conduction study. The results showed an increased mean jitter value, fiber density and abnormal percentage both in EDC and AT muscles in group …
