Stance control is not affected by paresis and reflex hyperexcitability: the case of spastic patients.

2001

OBJECTIVES Spastic patients were studied to understand whether stance unsteadiness is associated with changes in the control of voluntary force, muscle tone, or reflex excitability, rather than to abnormal posture connected to the motor deficit itself. METHODS Twenty four normal subjects, 12 patients affected by amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), seven by spastic paraparesis, and 14 by hemiparesis were studied. All patients featured various degrees of spasticity and paresis but were free from clinically evident sensory deficits. Body sway during quiet upright stance was assessed through a stabilometric platform under both eyes open (EO) and eyes closed (EC) conditions. The sudden rotation…

<p>Shock Waves as a Treatment Modality for Spasticity Reduction and Recovery Improvement in Post-Stroke Adults – Current Evidence and Qualitati…

2020

Purpose: This systematic review examines intervention studies using extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) application in post-stroke muscle spasticity with particular emphasis on the comparison of two different types of radial (rESWT) and focused shock waves (fESWT). Methods: PubMed, PEDro, Scopus, and EBSCOhost databases were systematically searched. Studies published between the years 2000 and 2019 in the impact factor journals and available in the English full-text version were eligible for inclusion. All qualified articles were classified in terms of their scientific reliability and methodological quality using the PEDro criteria. The PRISMA guidelines were followed and the registrat…

Effectiveness of Dry Needling in the Management of Spasticity in Patients Post Stroke.

2020

Abstract Objective: To determine the effectiveness of the dry needling technique (DNT) in the treatment of spasticity for individuals with stroke. Design: We reviewed the Embase, Pubmed/MEDLINE, Web of Science and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) databases. We also performed a manual search of the references that are included in the selected articles. Studies included were: i) randomized clinical trials (RCTs); ii) involving patients with a diagnosis of stroke; and iii) using DNT alone or in a multimodal treatment. Muscular spasticity was the primary outcome of the study. The additional outcomes included were: pressure pain sensitivity, range of motion and perception…

Leczenie poudarowej spastyczności z uwzględnieniem wybranych metod fizjoterapeutycznych i usprawniania kontroli motorycznej - przegląd aktualnych dow…

2017

Choroby naczyniowe mózgu o podłożu udarowym dotyczą milionów osób na całym świecie, a roczny odsetek zachorowalności stale rośnie. W dobie społeczeństwa starzejącego się i cierpiącego na liczne czynniki ryzyka, w szczególności te modyfikowalne, udary mózgu oraz następowe porażenie mięśni w wyniku uszkodzenia struktur składowych górnego neuronu ruchowego będzie coraz to poważniejszym problem dla całego systemu opieki zdrowotnej. Skuteczne postępowanie lecznicze i fizjoterapeutyczne w przypadku utrwalonej spastyczności poudarowej, zarówno w okresie ostrym, jak i przewlekłym, stanowi nadal istotny problem medyczny o charakterze interdyscyplinarnym. Opieka nad tego typu pacjentem staje się swoi…

Zewnątrzustrojowa Fala Uderzeniowa (ESW) jako alternatywna metoda wspomagająca terapię porażenia spastycznego mięśni kończyn w wyniku udaru mózgu - p…

2017

Zewnątrzustrojowa fala uderzeniowa (ESW – Extracorporeal Shock Wave) jest czynnikiem fizykalnym, którego zastosowanie kliniczne obserwowane jest w szerokiej gamie zaburzeń chorobowych, szczególnie dysfunkcji narządu ruchu. Obecnie zaobserwować można, iż lista wskazań do zabiegów ESW stale rośnie i obejmuje swym zasięgiem coraz to bardziej odmienne pod względem etiologii i patomechanizmu schorzenia ogólnoustrojowe. Niemniej jednak pamiętać należy, iż potencjalne mechanizmy biologiczne stymulacji ESW, warunkujące korzystne i pożądane efekty terapeutyczne, nie są jednoznacznie wyjaśnione. W świecie nauki w dalszym ciągu obserwowany jest brak niepodważalnych dowodów popartych zaawansowanymi bad…
