Tetraplegia Caused By Critical Illness Polyneuropathy Superimposed On Diabetic Neuropathy: A Casereport, Chia-Chen Li, Shih-Fu Hsieh, Ming-Chuan Lin, Chung-Wei Huang, Yi-Shiung Horng Dec 2011

Tetraplegia Caused By Critical Illness Polyneuropathy Superimposed On Diabetic Neuropathy: A Casereport, Chia-Chen Li, Shih-Fu Hsieh, Ming-Chuan Lin, Chung-Wei Huang, Yi-Shiung Horng

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

Objective: To describe a patient with the critical illness polyneuropathy superimposed on diabetic neuropathy and to highlight the importance of early rehabilitation after critical illness. Methods: A 42-year-old man with a previous history of diabetic polyneuropathy developed flaccid tetraplegia with respiratory failure after septic shock due to a liver abscess. This clinical manifestation, combined with the result of an electrodiagnostic study, suggested the acute exacerbation of polyneuropathy. Because a pre-existing polyneuropathy history complicated a differential diagnosis, we performed a comprehensive work-up to rule out other systemic diseases or metabolic disorders that may cause polyneuropathy. Finally, the diagnosis of critical illness …


Factors Affecting The Burden On Foreign Caregivers Of Long-Term Disabled Survivors In Taiwan, Chang-Jheng Wu, Wai-Keung Lee, Won-Jean Lin, Yau-Wai Wai Dec 2011

Factors Affecting The Burden On Foreign Caregivers Of Long-Term Disabled Survivors In Taiwan, Chang-Jheng Wu, Wai-Keung Lee, Won-Jean Lin, Yau-Wai Wai

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

Hiring in-home foreign caregivers for long-term disabled patients is common in Taiwan. Caregivers help relieve the stress of caregiving on the patient's family members, and patients who receive care at home can also interact with their family. Caring for disabled patients can be a challenge, and can lead to physical or mental breakdown. This study aims to investigate the sources of burden on foreign caregivers of long-term disabled patients.The scores obtained using the translated Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) represent the level of burden on foreign caregivers. Data were collected and compared using an independent T-test or ANOVA to determine the …


Effectiveness Of The Osaka Medical College Brace For The Treatment Of Idiopathic Scoliosis: A 1-Year Outcome Analysis, Cheng-Fang Tsai, Po-Liang Lai, Alice M.K. Wong, Chih-Kuang Chen Dec 2011

Effectiveness Of The Osaka Medical College Brace For The Treatment Of Idiopathic Scoliosis: A 1-Year Outcome Analysis, Cheng-Fang Tsai, Po-Liang Lai, Alice M.K. Wong, Chih-Kuang Chen

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

The Osaka Medical College (OMC) brace is an underarm spinal orthosis for the treatment of scoliosis. It consists of a plastic pelvic section with a pad extended from the lateral bar to correct the convexity of the curve. The plastic cover on the trunk is minimized, and thus perspiration under the plastic contour is reduced. This is favorable for people who are heat intolerant or for those living in a hot and humid climate. In Taiwan, the use of the OMC brace has been increasing because it allows for good ventilation, is light, and has a less-restrictive design, yet its …


The Immediate Effects Of Two Different Frequencies Of Whole Body Vibration On Balance And Flexibility, Chung-Liang Lai, Shiuan-Yu Tseng, Chun-Huo Wang, Mu-Jung Kao, Te-Zhang Zhang Dec 2011

The Immediate Effects Of Two Different Frequencies Of Whole Body Vibration On Balance And Flexibility, Chung-Liang Lai, Shiuan-Yu Tseng, Chun-Huo Wang, Mu-Jung Kao, Te-Zhang Zhang

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

Background and Purpose: Whole body vibration (WBV) training is a novel exercise intervention that is used in both athletic and general populations with the aim of improving muscle strength and balancing ability. The present study investigated the immediate effects of different frequencies of WBV on flexibility and balance performance.Methods: Thirty untrained subjects were assigned to a 5-min horizontal WBV (LV-1000, X-trend, Taiwan) training session using a vibrating plate that produced sinusoidal oscillation at 20 Hz (low frequency) and 40 Hz (high frequency) with constant amplitude. Balance ability was assessed using the Balance system (Biodex, USA), including the limits of stability …

Swallowing Therapy For Systemic Amyloidosis-Induced Dysphagia: A Casereport, I-Hsien Wu, Ching-Chi Chen, Mei-Yi Wu, Li-Chen Tung, Jung-Tai Liu

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

Amyloidosis is defined as the extracellular deposition of fibrillar proteins in different organs and tissues. The clinical features of amyloidosis include cardiomyopathy, hepatomegaly, proteinuria, macroglossia, and dysphagia. We report the case of a 52-year-old man with myeloma-associated amyloidosis who complained of progressive dysphagia, dysarthria, and macroglossia. Videofluoroscopic swallowing study revealed severe reduction in tongue movements, aspiration after swallowing, and retention in the valleculae and pyriform sinuses. The patient underwent swallowing therapy for 6 months; the therapy included compensatory neck flexion, vocal cord adduction exercises, supraglottic swallow, and the Mendelsohn maneuver. The swallowing therapy enabled the patient to swallow liquid and …
