New functional electronic stimulation device for acute cerebrovascular disorder treatment: A preliminary prospective study.

Objective: Patients with cerebrovascular disease tend to exhibit patterned hemiplegia, such as the Wernicke-Mann posture. Delayed cessation of synkinesis is a major factor impeding hemiplegic recovery; however, effective rehabilitation for acute synkinesis has not been established. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and feasibility of a novel treatment using a low-frequency therapeutic device for the cessation of synkinesis in patients with incomplete paralysis and cerebrovascular disease.

The Rehabilitation for Visual Cognitive Impairment due to Hippocampal Infarction: A Case Report.

Introduction: Disturbances in the visual pathway cause visual cognitive impairment. There is a lack of information regarding the effect of rehabilitation on individuals affected by this condition. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the effectiveness of rehabilitation interventions in this condition.

Combined rehabilitation therapy with botulinum toxin to the upper limbs for acute spinal cord injury: A case report.

Introduction: Patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) and incomplete paralysis may experience muscle immobilization due to functional impairment of agonist and antagonist muscles. This can induce spasticity and pain, with the risk of contracture increasing as the period of immobilization increases. This could be aggravated by pain, which interferes with rehabilitation.

Image Findings as Predictors of Fall Risk in Patients with Cerebrovascular Disease.

This study examined computed tomography findings in patients with cerebrovascular disease and determined predictors for falls. Images of the head were divided into 13 regions, and the relationships between computed tomography findings and the presence or absence of falls were investigated. A total of 138 patients with cerebrovascular disease (66% men, aged 73.

Nevus lipomatosus cutaneous superficialis with perifollicular fibrosis.

Nevus lipomatosus cutaneous superficialis (NLCS) is a rare hamartomatous skin lesion histopathologically characterized by the presence of mature fat tissue even within the upper dermis. Clinically, two types of NLCS can be distinguished; a multiple type and a solitary type. We here report a 10-month-old girl showing multiple type NLCS as a collection of a nodule and papules on her right abdomen.
