Utility of the ability for basic movement scale II as a prediction method of ambulation ability in patients after the hip fracture surgery.

Background: This study was to investigate whether the Ability for Basic Movement Scale II (ABMS II) at admission of the convalescent rehabilitation ward (CRW) could predict the ambulation ability in patients after hip fracture surgery.

Methods: The data of the ABMS II and Functional Ambulation Category (FAC) of 118 postsurgical patients with hip fracture who were transferred to the CRW were retrospectively analyzed (mean age 82.7 ± 7.

The Ability for Basic Movement Scale II Can Predict Functional Outcome and Discharge Destination in Stroke Patients.

Objectives: This study aims to identify whether the Ability for Basic Movement Scale II (ABMS II) at admission would predict the functional status and discharge destination in convalescent stroke patients.

Methods: Ninety-four stroke patients admitted to convalescent rehabilitation ward were investigated. Their functions were evaluated by the ABMS II and Functional Independence Measure (FIM) at admission, FIM and Functional Ambulation Category at discharge.

Therapeutic Application of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Combined with Rehabilitative Training for Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury: A Case Report.

Background: Only a few researchers have therapeutically applied transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) for patients with spinal cord injury. The purpose of this case study was to evaluate the safety, feasibility, and efficacy of therapeutic TMS combined with rehabilitative training for a patient with tetraparesis resulting from incomplete spinal cord injury.

Case: An 82-year-old male patient with incomplete spinal cord injury was admitted to our department for long-term rehabilitation.
