Article Synopsis
- Spasticity is linked to increased muscle tension and hyperactive spinal reflexes, and noxious stimuli like bladder stones can amplify this condition after spinal cord injury.
- A case study showed that after removing a bladder stone, a male subject experienced improved gait kinematics, such as reduced knee recurvatum and increased ankle dorsiflexion over three months.
- The findings suggest a potential connection between the noxious stimulus from the bladder stone and increased spasticity, indicating that spinal reflexes can influence muscle tone and movement in individuals with spinal cord injuries.
Striking the Balance: Embracing Technology While Upholding Humanistic Principles in Neurorehabilitation.
Neurorehabil Neural Repair
September 2024
Background: The rapid advancement of technology-focused strategies in neurorehabilitation has brought optimism to individuals with neurological disorders, caregivers, and physicians while reshaping medical practice and training.
Objectives: We critically examine the implications of technology in neurorehabilitation, drawing on discussions from the 2021 and 2024 World Congress for NeuroRehabilitation. While acknowledging the value of technology, it highlights inherent limitations and ethical concerns, particularly regarding the potential overshadowing of humanistic approaches.
Background: Stroke results in balance disorders and these directly affect autonomy and quality of life. The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to determine the efficacy of physical therapy (PT) on balance and postural control after stroke.
Methods: We included all randomized controlled trials assessing the efficacy of PT on balance and postural control in adult patients after stroke without language restriction.
Study Design: Narrative review with case illustration.
Objective: Provide an overview of existing management strategies to suggest a guideline for surgical management of lumbar disk herniation in pregnant women based on time of presentation.
Methods: We performed a narrative review on the topic using the PubMed database.
