Self-care, functional mobility and walking parameters examined using American Spinal Cord Injury Association (ASIA), Spinal Cord Independence Measures (SCIM) and Walking Index Spinal Cord Injury (WISCI). The patient received aquatic therapy thrice in a week for one-hour session, for 6 weeks. The intervention included aquatic activities designed to improve gross motor skills for self-care, functional mobility and gait parameters. Spinal cord independence measure score improved from 32 to 43. Patient showed drastic improvement in Walking Index, where he was able to walk 10 meters in walking frame with no orthosis and no assistance. The outcomes of this case report demonstrate the successful improvement of self-care, functional mobility and walking parameters in 19-year-old patient with SCI.

The objective was to examine the difficulty of each sub-item of the NASVA score-O and its suitability for the assessment of patients in a UWS. Methods: The participants were 134 patients in a UWS (96 men, 38 women; age range at admission, 9-83 years). The scaled NASVA score-O, an outfit mean square (MNSQ), and an infit MNSQ for each sub-item using Rasch modeling were calculated. The 48 sub-items were arranged in order of the score of the item measures, and a difficulty map was created. The suitability of the 48 sub-items was analyzed using the outfit and the infit MNSQs. Results: Ten sub-items were classified as misfits, and the item measure of five sub-items was -5.1 points. Conclusions: Medical staff and family members may be able to set suitable short-term goals and adapt caregiving methods to the recovery process using the difficulty map. It is necessary to remove 10 misfit sub-items, modify the questions, or create an interpretation manual and to reanalyze it without the five sub-items with negative points.","PeriodicalId":91292,"journal":{"name":"International journal of neurorehabilitation","volume":"66 1","pages":"1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70053443","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Clinical Stroke Assessment Scales and fMRI was used to assess the response of CIMT with rTMS on blood oxygenation-level dependent (BOLD) sequence component. Methodology: RCT was conducted at All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, on chronic stroke patients (N=60) between 12 to 36 months of index event with atleast 10° of wrist extension, 10° of thumb abduction, Brunnstorm stage 2-4; NIHSS 4–20. Patients were randomized to CIMT alone (Group A n=30) & rTMS with CIMT (Group B n=30). rTMS (10 Hz, 750 pulses with 110%RMT) was administered for 3 weeks (5days/week). Radiological Assessment of the patients was done with fMRI (BOLD) along with assessment of Fugl Meyer (FM), Barthel Index, and modified Rankin Scales (MRS) at baseline, 3 weeks (Post intervention) & 3 month (follow up) Results: FM showed statistically significant improvement in group B as compared to group A at 3 weeks (95%CI: -12.4 to -9.3, p=0.003) and 3months (95%CI: 7.4 to 4.2, p=0.01). Repeated measure ANOVA showed that the mean groups were different at all-time points indicating some degree of improvement in all the subjects (F=3.4, p=0.01; F=5.4, p=0.002). The BOLD cluster activation was compared between two groups; there was increase in the number of clusters found in Group B. Conclusion: Both the groups showed improvement, increased cluster count showing alterations in cortical activations (fMRI-BOLD) after CIMT with rTMS in patients with chronic stroke indicated more degree of clinical improvement in upper extremity function.","PeriodicalId":91292,"journal":{"name":"International journal of neurorehabilitation","volume":"7 1","pages":"1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70051393","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Material and Methods: Study from a tertiary care neuropsychiatry hospital from North India. Cases had been collected with all detailed demographic and relevant findings from the year 2009 to 2018; almost 10 years of data were collected and recorded. The detailed analyses of the cases were done. All the cases which lead to permanent disability leading to Locomotors, cognitive and other deficits from the Neurological disorder were included and recorded. Cases leading to temporary disability were excluded from the study. Results: Total numbers of patients around ten tears were 1203 in number, Out of which 1001 were males and 202 were females. Stroke accounted for the largest proportion of disability among all neurological disorders analysed. Cerebral palsy, post enchephalitis sequalae and mental Retardation with Epilepsy were the second, third, and fourth largest contributors of permanent physical or cognitive disability. The proportional contributions of the other neurological disorders analysed were less substantial and varied from 0.4% for Multiple sclerosis to round 5% for tuberculosis of Brain. Among the largest number Stroke Cerebrovascular accident is the largest group comprises of round 44 % of the permanent disability followed by Cerebral palsy, (22.8%) Post encephalitis, sequalae (11.8%) and mental Retardation with Epilepsy (9.2%). Other groups comprises of Tuberculosis of brain (5.2%), Motor Neuron diseases (3.5%) and small number of cases of myelopathy, dementia and Multiple sclerosis and related disorders. Stroke the number of male patients are more as compared to females. The age pattern varied between the various neurological disorders for disability .The age group range for CVA varies grom 30 to 80, mostly in elderly, whereas cerebral palsy, post encephalitis sequale, mental retardation and Epilepsy prevailed in younger age group. Conclusion: The burden due to Neurological disorders is increasing in India and leading to further disability. In developing countries were most of the population belongs to middle or low socio-economic status against increase the burden as the sole family member get disabled and the whole family is dependent on their livelihood.","PeriodicalId":91292,"journal":{"name":"International journal of neurorehabilitation","volume":"7 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70051476","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
