Abstract

INTRODUCTION Spinal cord injury (SCI) remains a leading cause of long-term disability in the United States with the majority of injuries resulting in incomplete quadriplegia due to cervical lesions.1 This leads to significant neurological impairment including upper extremity (UE) weakness and decreased independence with self-care activities of daily living (ADLs). Previous work demonstrated that using a myoelectric elbow-wrist-hand orthosis as a therapeutic adjunct to a multi-week rehabilitation regimen resulted in decreased UE motor impairment and increased function in stroke survivors with moderate UE hemiparesis.2 The purpose of this case study was to determine if wearing a myoelectric elbow-wrist-hand orthosis reduces upper extremity motor impairment and increases functional ability in an individual with chronic, incomplete spinal cord injury and resultant quadriplegia.

佩戴肌电矫形器治疗脊髓损伤所致上肢瘫痪的功能应用

在美国，脊髓损伤(SCI)仍然是导致长期残疾的主要原因，大多数损伤由颈椎病变导致不完全性四肢瘫痪这导致严重的神经损伤，包括上肢(UE)无力和日常生活自理能力(ADLs)的独立性下降。先前的研究表明，使用肌电手腕矫形器作为多周康复方案的辅助治疗，可以减少UE运动损伤，提高中度UE偏瘫卒中幸存者的功能本病例研究的目的是确定佩戴肌电手腕矫形器是否可以减轻慢性不完全性脊髓损伤并导致四肢瘫痪的患者上肢运动障碍并提高其功能能力。摘要PDF链接:https://jps.library.utoronto.ca/index.php/cpoj/article/view/32021/24439如何引用:Wengerd L.佩戴肌电矫形器对脊髓损伤引起的上肢瘫痪的功能效用。加拿大假肢与矫形学杂志，2018年第1卷第2期;摘要:2018年9月26日至29日，加拿大温哥华，aopa第101届全国大会海报展示。摘要由美国矫形义肢协会(AOPA)第101届国民大会科学委员会同行评审。http://www.aopanet.org/
