Spinal Cord Injury With Perforated Ileum: Casereport, Ching-Yang Lin, Min-Teh Cheng
Rehabilitation Practice and Science
The patient with a spinal cord lesion may not have the early signs of peritonitis such as pain, local tenderness and local muscular rigidity, therefore it is extremely difficult to make an early diagnosis of an acute abdominal lesion. Important clues to the underlying lesion may be found in referred pain, local or systemic spasticity, blood pressure and temperature variation, sweating patterns, changing abdominal sign.This was a 37 years old female who had hospitalized following a car accident which resulted in c7 complete quadriplegiac7 Two years later, she was admitted because of severe nausea, vomitting, profused sweating, poor appetite, general …

Rehabilitation Practice and Science
Hearniation of lumbar disc (HIVD) causing compression of the cauda equina is rare but needs urgent diagnosis and surgical treatment. Cauda equina syndrome (CES) has been described as a complex of low back pain, bilateral or unilateral sciatica, saddle anesthesia and motor weakness in the lower extremities that may progress to paraplegia with bowel and urinary bladder incontinence. The onset of bladder and rectal paralysis with saddle anesthesia should be viewed with a high index of suspicion in a patient with backache and sciatica. Three C.E.S. cases out of 169 H.I.V.D. cases who had been operated in our hospital were …

The thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) is a entrapment syndrome of the neurovascular bundle supplying the upper extremity. There are many disorders have been associated with TOS. We can divide TOS into vascular types and neurogenic types according to it's component parts.the classic type of neurogenic TOS is uncommon. This case has abduction contracture of left shoulder. The electrodiagnostic findings showed typical of neurogenic TOS. Conservative treatment programs were given and the symptoms were subsided after one week.

Crossed Aphasia: Casereport, Choon-Khim Chong, May-Kuen Wong, Jorie Wu
Rehabilitation Practice and Science
Crossed aphasia is defined as the combination of left hcmiplegia (-paresis) and aphasia in a right-handed patient. The incidence of such cases is very low, reported as 0.4%-3.75% in all aphasics. Henderson (1983) reviewed that for the crossed aphasics, the correlation between fluency and infaret localization was similar to that of right-handed aphasics with left hemisphere lesion.A fluent jargon aphasia following a right cerebral infraction developed in a 52-year-old right-handed Chinese woman. She was a case of myxoma in left atrium with sudden onset of cerebral infarction. Computed tomographic scan showed a large infarction in right basal ganglion, temporal and …

Rehabilitation Practice and Science
According to the questionnaries from 72 subjects of fiddle players, of whom 13 examined, the total rate of musculo-skeletal involvement was 80.6%. There was no obvious different rates between total subjects (including person who played piano or other instruments as a chief one) and the subjects who played violin or viola as a chief instrument.The symptoms occurred most frequently on left side. The ratio between left and right side was 1.9: 1.The most frequently involved muscles were trapezius, levator scapulae and serratus posterior superior. This was closely related to the posture of playing.

Rehabilitation Practice and Science
Long term hemodialysis of uremic patients can keep on their living, but they still have many problems like severe anemia, atherosclerosis, and decreasing physical fitness, etc.In this report, a symptomatic maximum bicycle execise test was given to 19 male and 11 female unremic patients who were in stable condition. This test was administered some 18-36 hours after hemodialysis. The patients experienced a progressive increase of resistance on the bicycle until the patient couldn't tolerate it. During exercise, oxygen uptake (VO2), pulmonary ventilation (VE), respiratory exchange ratio (R) and heart rate (HR) were measured breath-by-breath with a MGC-2000 system and lactate …

The Excitability Of Spinal Motoneurons In Stroke Patients, Hsin-Ying Chen, Chue-Fun Chen, I-Nan Lien
Rehabilitation Practice and Science
Thirty hemiplegics and 15normal persons were enrolled in this study. Measuring the recovery time of H reflex by dual stimulation technique to tibial nerve was performed to evaluate the excitability of spinal motoneurons. It was found that the recovery time of H reflex in normal persons and nonhemiplegic sides of hemiplegics was 57.0±27.3 msec and 57.3±21.4 msec respectively. The recovery time of hemiplegic sides was 37.5±12.8 msec and it was very significantly shorter than the normal ones. The shortening of the recovery time showed good correlation with the neurological recovery as well as the spasticity of the patients. These findings …

A Comparison Of Clinical Assessments Of Disease Activity In Rheumatoid Arthritis, Helen Sheau-Ping Pan, Tao-Chang Hsu
Rehabilitation Practice and Science
12chinical assessments and 4 laboratory tests of disease activity, including a newly designed dolorimeter, have been compared in a group of 42 patients with rheumatoid arthritis seen in 2 disease active and stable stages within 6 months. Number of painful joints, dolorimetry, distance of fingertip-to-distal palmar crease, functional score, C-reactive protein, and grasp strength correlate best with other assessments and tests, and are therefore to be the best clinical indices of disease activity.

The Straight-Leg-Raising Test, Ching-Hwa Chou, Chrong-Song Chou, Tao-Chang Hsu
Rehabilitation Practice and Science
A positive unilateral straight-leg-raising sign is routinely interpreted as indicative of a disc lesion. A review of the literature was undertaken in an attempt to more clearly illustrate the mechanisms and results of the straight-leg-raising test. It was found that a positive straight-leg-raising test has minimal value in differentiating a patient with herniated disc from other patients with low back pain and sciatica.

Treatment For Mandarin Agrammatism: Casereport, Shu-Er Lee, Tao-Chang Hsu
Rehabilitation Practice and Science
A syntax stimulation program, based upon the syntactic hierarchy of difficulty, was used to treat a thirty year old brain injury patient with severe agrammatism. This program is designed to elicit the basic Mandarin sentence constructions using a story completion technique. With 80 sessions of treatment, the patient's spontaneous speech and picture description showed increased phrase length, use of grammatical onstructions and communication skills. From the preliminary study, this program appears to have therapeutic merit in training syntactic skills of agrammatic Chinese patients.
