In patients with upper motor neuron dieases. they usually present with variable degrees of spasticity. Moderate and severe degree of spasticity will interfere with patients' function and cause great difficulty in daily care. The incidence of musculoskeletal deformity which requires surgical correction is also higher in patients with severe spasticity. There were 43 patients with upper motor neuron diseases, which included 34 patients with cerebral palsy. 5 patients with cerebrovascular diseases and 2 patients with head injury. Phenol intramuscular neurolysis were performed in the muscle groups with moderate to severe spasticity that interferes with function and daily care in these …

Abbreviated Version Of The Chinese Wisc-R--A Multiple Regression Study, Ling-Yee Cheng, Pai-Fan Wang, Nai-Wen Quo, Tao-Chang Hsu

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

While the WISC-R is the most widely adopted measurement of intelligence in various eductaional and clinical settings, administering and scoring the ten-subtest battery could be time-consuming, and thus uneconomical, for certain purposes of patient placement or classification. Hence to construct an abbreviated form of WISC-R with satisfactory reliability and validity would be productive for improving efficiency and cutting expenses.The present study analyzed 98 WISC-R protocols with an stepwise multiple regression analysis to identify, from the whole battery, an minimal pool of subtests for making up an abbreviated test such that scores of which would predict the full scale IQ score …

Spinal Epidural Hemorrhage Three Cases Report And Literature Review, Huey-Jen Lay, Chein-Wei Chang, I-Nan Lien Dec 1991

Spinal Epidural Hemorrhage Three Cases Report And Literature Review, Huey-Jen Lay, Chein-Wei Chang, I-Nan Lien

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

Spinal epidure hemorrhage is rare. It is often misdiagnosed and mistreated, and may result in severe paraplegia or death. Abort half of the cases reported in the literature had identifiable causes. Among these, trauma and anticoagulant therapy were most frequently encountered. The others were known as spontaneous spinal epidural hemorrhage. We report here 3 cases treated in NTUH. Their symptoms included sudden onset of severe localized back pain and flaccid paralysis of lower extremities which progressed within minutes to days. In case 1, early spinal decompression minimized the possible neurological sequelae. In case 2, hematoma occurred in the lower thoracic …
