Influence of Robotic Neurorehabilitation in Cerebral Palsy on Motor Function and Gait.

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a nonprogressive neurological disorder characterized by permanent developmental disorders of movement and posture. One of the most common goals of rehabilitation is the treatment of gait disorders. Ataxic gait disorder tends to worsen in the adolescent period.

The importance of assessing general motor activity in premature infants for predicting neurological outcomes.

Introduction: Conventional methods of neurological assessment of infants can detect nervous system damage, but also have a weakness, i.e., the inability to make predictions for neurological deficits.

Influence of fear of movement on total knee arthroplasty outcome.

Unlabelled: arthroplasty (TKA) patients and to determine the association of fear of movement with established outcome measures.

Methods: A prospective study included 78 patients with primary TKA for osteorthritis. The occurence of fear of movement was assessed by Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK).

[Evaluation of low level laser and interferential current in the therapy of complex regional pain syndrome by infrared thermographic camera].

Unlabelled: BACKGROUND/AIM; Complex regional pain syndrom type I (CRPS I) is characterised by continuous regional pain, disproportional according to duration and intensity and to the sort of trauma or other lesion it was caused by. The aim of the study was to evaluate and compare, by using thermovison, the effects of low level laser therapy and therapy with interferential current in treatment of CRPS I.

Methods: The prospective randomized controlled clinical study included 45 patients with unilateral CRPS 1, after a fracture of the distal end of the radius, of the tibia and/or the fibula, treated in the Clinical Centre in Nis from 2004 to 2007.
