Myotonia Dystrophica In A Victim Of Traumatic Brain Injury: A Casereport, Jeng-Yi Shieh, Chein-Wei Chang, I-Nan Lien

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

Myotonia dystrophica is one of the common adult-onset muscular dystrophies. It is characterized by its multisystemic involvement as compared with other myotonic disorders. We report here a 33-year-old man with myotonia dystrophica who was diagnosed after transfer to the rehabilitation department for the sequelae of traumatic brain injury, The clinical, electrophysiological and histopathological findings supported the existence of myotonia dystrophica. The presentation of myotonia did not change in association with his central paralysis.

Modified Shoulder Sling For Upper Brachial Plexus Injury : 3 Cases Report, Sui-Food Lo, Chen-Peng Leong, Ruey-Knen Chang, May-Kuen Wong

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

Brachiai plexus injury is commonly seen in rehabilitation clinic. Nerve transplantation and reconstruction surgery cannot improve the function of upper extremity immediately. They need physical and occupational therapy. Shoulder subluxation, pain, functional deficits are common sequelae of these injuries.In the past, shoulder sling had been used to correct shoulder subluxation. However traditional type of shoulder sling does not allow distal wrist and hand to function properly and poor reduction of shoulder subluxation. We designed a modified shoulder sling which consist of a leather belt with a wedge shaped spongy for backward compression and a forearm splint, they connected together by …

Lumbosacral Perineurial Cysts Caused Cauda Equina Syndrome Which Temporarily Relieved By Pelivic Traction: Casereport, Chui-Lee Wong, Mei-Hue Hsu

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

Sacral perineurial cyst is an uncommon entity. It can be the cause of a sciatica or cauda equina syndrome. Reportd here is a case of multiple lumbosacral perineurial cysts with cauda equina syndrome, who experienced remarkable improvement of symptoms after each course of pelvic traction which was initially prescribed under the impression of lumbar spondylosis. Pelvic traction may probably serve as a palliative treatment temporarily for some patients with only mild symptoms or patients whose general condition is not suitable for surgery.

The Relationship Between Magnetic Resonance Inaging And Motor Outcome Following Traumatic Brain Injury, Chinn-Dong Chung, Lance R. Stone, Angela Wang, Jang Huang

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

Thirty four adults with traumatic brain injury [TBI] who had magnetic resonance imaging [MRI] within three months were evaluated motor outcome 6 to 18 months after injury. MRI were classified into four groups according to the depth of abnormality detected and the motor function evaluated with revised Fugl-Meyer method. The results showed no positive relationship between motor outcome and the depth of lesion detected by MRI.

Resources For Early Intervention Of The Handicapped Children In Taiwan, Huey-Jen Lai, Wen-Hong Pan, Horng-Jeng Shyn, Kuen-Lin Wu, Kuo-Ming Hsu

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

The early intervention of the handicapped children should include psychological consultation of the whole family members, rehabilitation, special education, the intact program for his whole life. The resources for early intervention in Taiwan still are very few and such incomplete that parents should solve all problems that may happen to them by themself. They may go to the rehabilitation department in any hospital, or just send the child to Home or Day School-for Handicapped children. The rehabilitation departments usually give the child a set of time per week for treatment. The Home or Day School provide a living enviroment, but …

Cardiopulmonaty Stress Test And Psychosocial Counseling In Patient Following Orthotopic Heart Transplantation: A Casereport, Chen-Liang Chou, Tacho-Jen Liu, Tao-Chang Hsu

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

Cardiac transplantation is no longer considered to be an experimental procedure. Judicious choice of recipients, lengthier experience with immunosuppressive medication, improved surgical technique, and the introduction of cyclosporine have all enhanced survival rate. As improvements were made in the diagnosis and therapy for rejection and infection, graft artherosclerosis became the leading cause of death among long-term survival cardiac transplantation patients.A repeatable non-invasive cardiopulmonary stress can early detect allograft coronary artery disease & predicts its outcome. Moreover, psychological well-being and thus increase the quality of life. Therefore, these examinations are highly recommended for heart transplant patients in the long term follow …

Spinal Tumor-Pitfall In Diagnosis Of Cva: Casereport, June-Liang Lu, Giin-Gi Wang, Tse-Chieh Hseuh

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

It has been reported that neurilemomas comprise approximately 30% of primary intraspinal neoplasms. Spinal cord tumors, sometimes without spinal symptoms, occasionally cause signs and symptoms of intracranial disease in the form of papilledema and/or hydrocephalus.The association of hydrocephalus with benign extramedullary spinal cord tumors is particularly rare. The incidence was only 1% to 3%. So, in the diagnosis of intraspinal tumor, the associated presentations of intracranial hypertension were as important as hydrocephalus. Especially, when some of these signs and symptoms were noted in the elderly, intraspinal lesion should also be taken into consideration in addition to the most common cause …

Spinal Epidural Abscess Presenting As Lower Back Pain: A Casereport And Literature Review, Tso-Liang Wang, Hsin-Ying Chen, Young-Shung Shen

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

Spinal epidural abscess (SEA) is a rare infectious disorder often subject to a delayed diagnosis. In two United States hospitals, the incidence was between 0.2 and 1.2 per 10000 admissions. There are still no reports about the incidence of SEA in Taiwan. In this report, we present a 57-year-old diabetic woman who suffered from severe lower back pain for one week prior to admission. Neither physical infectious signs nor obvious neutrophilia was apparent.The responses to electrotherapy and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs were poor. The result of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) study demondtrated an epidural soft tissue mass extemding from the L3-4 …

C2 Neurilemmoma: Originally Misapprehended As Psychogenic Headache And Nuchalgia-Casereport, Chui-Lee Wong, Mei-Hue Hsu

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

A patient with headache and nuchalgia for three years was initially diagnosed as psychogenic origin. Spinal cord compression syndrome was unrecognized until motor evoked potential study showing abnormal findings. Excision of a nearly 3x2x2 cm dumbbell extra-and intradural tumor, which arose from the right C2 root, was performed after MRI documentation. Histologic diagnosis was neurilemmoma. Motor evoked potential study is useful in spinal cord diagnostics. The particular value of complete history-taking and exact neurological examination should not be underestimated.

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 …
