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 …

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
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.

Examination Of Post-Service Health-Related Quality Of Life Among Rural And Urban Military Members Of The Millennium Cohort Study, Susan P. Proctor, Timothy S. Wells, Kelly A. Jones, Edward J. Boyco, Tyler C. Smith
Journal of Rural Social Sciences
Little information exists on the health-related quality of life (HRQL) of U.S. veterans based on rural (versus urban) status, especially those in younger age groups, and whether deployment influences this outcome. We addressed these questions in the Millennium Cohort Study, a prospective investigation of U.S. military personnel assessed first in 2001 and then subsequently every three years via self-administered questionnaires. Participants separated from the military at the time of the most recent survey were eligible (n = 10,738). HRQL was assessed using the SF-36V Physical Component Summary (PCS) and Mental Component Summary (MCS) scores. Rural status was assigned from zip …

The Economic And Cultural Impacts Of Veterans On Rural America: The Case Of Iowa, Dan Krier, C. Richard Stockner, Paul Lasley
Journal of Rural Social Sciences
Rural America has long been a crucial supplier of recruits and civilian personnel to the U.S. military. Rural America is also an essential source of cultural and political support for military activity. After their tours of duty have ended, many veterans return to rural communities where they continue to carry the values of their military experiences and extend military traditions into rural culture. Far away from the Pentagon and other corridors of military power live millions of geographically-dispersed rural veterans whose Veterans Administration benefits (cash payments, loans, medical care) and retirement pensions flow into, and become a crucial economic support …

Ptsd Treatment-Seeking Among Rural Latino Combat Veterans: A Review Of The Literature, Michael R. Duke, Roland S. Moore, Genevieve M. Ames
Journal of Rural Social Sciences
Latino combat soldiers report both higher prevalence and greater overall severity of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms than non-Hispanic Caucasians. However, these veterans face unique social and cultural barriers to accessing treatment for PTSD that distinguish them from their non-Hispanic white counterparts. Latino veterans who reside in rural settings face additional socio-cultural and structural impediments, in that they are likely to reside far from VA (Veterans Administration) medical facilities, have limited access to public transportation, and hold more conservative views toward mental health treatment than those residing in urban locales. However, little is known about the unique individual, sociocultural, and …
