Use of optokinetic chart stimulation to restore mobility and reduce ataxia in a patient with pseudo-Cushing ataxia.

A 61-year-old patient was admitted to hospital after a fall. She presented with bilateral muscle weakness and severe ataxia. She was unable to maintain sitting balance or place feet on the floor and was unable to tolerate hoist transfers due to the severity of her ataxia.

Use of optokinetics based OKCSIB protocol in restoring mobility in primary progressive MS.

The case is of a mid-40s patient who developed progressive muscle weakness and loss of mobility over 6 weeks due to primary progressive multiple sclerosis. 2.5 days before admission, she became bed bound with weakness of 1/5 on the Oxford scale.

Does use of the optokinetic chart stimulation based OKCSIB protocol improve recovery of upper and lower limb movements, function and quality of life at 3 year follow up in dense strokes? A retrospective case control series.

Background And Objective: The aim was to compare follow up impairment, function and quality of life outcomes between dense parietal centred strokes treated by the optokinetic chart based OKCSIB protocol and those treated by conventional neuro-physiotherapy.

Design And Setting: Follow up retrospective case control series in the community.

Method And Materials: 643 persons with stroke were eligible for initial screening to see if they met inclusion criteria.

Novel use of optokinetic chart stimulation to restore muscle strength and mobility in patients with subdural haemorrhage: two case studies.

Background And Purpose: The aim of these case studies is to report on the novel use of optokinetic chart stimulation to restore muscle strength and functional independence in severely disabled patients with subdural haemorrhage.

Methodology: An optokinetic chart was moved in front of the patient: from side to side, up and down and finally forwards and backwards. Once the patient could stand optokinetic chart stimulation was supplemented by sensory interaction for balance.

Use of an optokinetic chart stimulation intervention for restoration of voluntary movement, postural control and mobility in acute stroke patients and one post intensive care polyneuropathy patient: A case series.

Background And Purpose: The objective of this case series is to report on the use of an optokinetic chart stimulation intervention to restore voluntary movement, postural control and mobility in acute stroke patients and one post intensive care polyneuropathy patient.

Method: An optokinetic chart was moved in front of the patient: from side to side, up and down and finally forwards and backwards. Specific active-assisted exercises of affected shoulder anti-gravity muscles were also carried out.

A case report on the use of a novel optokinetic chart stimulation intervention for the restoration of voluntary movement and mobility in a patient with an acute hemorrhagic stroke.

Background And Purpose: The objective of this case report is to report on the use of novel optokinetic chart stimulation to achieve recovery of affected upper limb and affected lower limb voluntary movements and full recovery of mobility in a patient with an acute hemorrhagic stroke.

Method: An optokinetic chart was moved in front of the patient: from side to side, up and down and finally forwards and backwards. Specific active-assisted exercises of affected shoulder anti-gravity muscles were also carried out.
