Using Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation To Facilitate Limb Control In The Head-Injured Patient, Cynthia Zablotny
Using Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation To Facilitate Limb Control In The Head-Injured Patient, Cynthia Zablotny
Faculty Publications - College of Physical Therapy
Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) has been used to treat a variety of extremity problems in head-injured patients. Specifically, NMES has been used to gain motor control, reduce joint contractures, and reduce muscle hypertonicity.1 Such uses rely on intact peripheral nerve excitability to generate the desired muscular response. This article will present some clinically relevant methods of maximizing the effectiveness of NMES programs for facilitating limb control in the head-injured patient. Stimulator features that help ensure treatment success will be identified. The special cognitive considerations that must be addressed when using NMES on the head-injured patient will also be discussed. The …

Serial Casting: Clinical Applications For The Adult Head-Injured Patient, Cynthia Zablotny, Maureen Forte Andric, Charlotte Gowland

Serial casting has been used for over a decade to manage soft tissue contractures in patients with traumatic head injuries. Its use has also extended to the prevention of contractures in extremities exhibiting potentially deforming spasticity. This article will review the causes of soft tissue contractures and discuss how serial casting can manage such deformities. It will also identify how a serial casting program can be modified and integrated with other therapeutic efforts as the head-injured patient progresses physically and cognitively. Finally, it will address the timing and priority of casting in the patient's overall program.
