Long-term motor, functional, and academic outcome following childhood ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke: A large rehabilitation center-based retrospective study.

Objective: To study the long-term outcomes following childhood ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke.

Methods: This was a retrospective study, looking at children consecutively admitted to a rehabilitation department following childhood stroke. We collected demographic, medical, and severity data, motor deficit, cognitive assessment, and long-term academic outcome.

Quiet postural control of patients with total hip arthroplasty following joint arthritis.

To assess the postural strategies developed by patients after total hip arthroplasty (THA), 14 patients were measured 12 days after surgery. The respective role played by both sound and prosthetic legs and the compensatory mechanisms were assessed through a separate measure of the center-of-pressure (CP) trajectories under each foot. The movements of the center-of-gravity (CG) were estimated from those of the resultant CP to determine postural performance.

Disabling overactivity of the extensor hallucis longus after stroke: clinical expression and efficacy of botulinum toxin type A.

Objectives: To describe the clinical characteristics of persistent extension of the great toe related to overactivity of the extensor hallucis longus (EHL) after a stroke and to explore the efficacy of treatment with botulinum toxin type A.

Design: Case series.

Setting: A physical medicine and rehabilitation department in France.
