Movement disorders in Megalencephalic Leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts - A case series.

Background: Megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts (MLC) has been described in the literature mostly as early-onset leukodystrophy with cerebellar ataxia being the main clinical phenotype. However, other associated movement disorders have also been reported discretely.

Cases: Here, we present seven cases of MLC.

Effect of overground gait training with 'Mobility Assisted Robotic System-MARS' on gait parameters in patients with stroke: a pre-post study.

Objective: To observe the effect of overground gait training with 'Mobility Assisted Robotic System-MARS' on gait parameters in patients with stroke.

Patients & Methods: This prospective pre-post study was conducted in a tertiary teaching research hospital with 29 adult stroke patients, with age up to 65 years. Patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria were divided in 2 groups based on the duration of stroke (≤ 6 months-sub-acute & > 6 months-chronic stroke) and provided overground gait training with MARS robot for 12 sessions (1 h/session) over a period of 2-3 weeks.

Ankylosing spondylitis masquerading as generalized spasticity in a patient with spinal cord injury in neurological rehabilitation setting: A case report.

A thorough history and examination in rehabilitation settings are paramount. We present a case of spinal cord injury with quadriparesis with severe axial stiffness and increasing spasticity not responding to high doses of medication. Only after repeated inquiry, patient gave history of symptoms suggestive of ankylosing spondylitis (AS).

Gait Characteristics Following Stroke: A Prospective Crossover Study to Compare Ankle-Foot Orthosis with Functional Electrical Stimulation.

Background: Management of foot-drop following stroke can be addressed with ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) or functional electrical stimulation (FES) of the peroneal nerve. There is limited evidence regarding the efficacy of FES as a substitute for a conventional ankle-foot orthosis.

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare efficacy of FES against AFO in management of foot-drop in patients following stroke.

Rehabilitation in Dementia.

Dementia is an eurodegenerative disorder, which causes significant disability, especially among the elderly population worldwide. The affected person shows a progressive cognitive decline, which interferes with the independence in performing the activities of daily living. Other than the cognitive domain, the patient tends to have neuropsychiatric, behavioral, sensorimotor, speech, and language-related issues.
