paresis/뇌졸중

BACKGROUND The aim of this prospective study was to identify clinical factors associated with the development of shoulder pain in stroke patients with pronounced arm paresis. METHODS At stroke onset, 485 patients were initially assessed in 2007-2009. Sixty-three patients with pronounced arm paresis

In patients with left-sided lesions, anosognosia for hemiparesis (AHP) seems to be a rare phenomenon. It has been discussed whether this rareness might be due to an inevitable bias due to language dysfunction and whether the left hemisphere's role for our self-awareness of motor actions thus is

OBJECTIVE To investigate patterns of hemiparesis recovery in lacunar (LACI) and partial anterior circulation infarct (PACI) stroke syndromes. METHODS Prospective observational study. METHODS District general hospital and stroke rehabilitation ward. METHODS Forty-seven patients (25 LACI and 22 PACI)

I used leg and arm paresis to predict outcome measured as extremity function in a prospective study of 75 consecutive hemiplegic patients admitted to an inpatient stroke rehabilitation unit. In each patient, extremity paresis was quantified according to the five-point scoring system advised by the

Purpose: Survivors of childhood stroke incur lifelong physical disability. Treatment options are limited, however, models of motor reorganization after stroke are revealing cortical targets for neuromodulation. Transcranial direct-current stimulation (tDCS) enhances motor learning and may

OBJECTIVE We pilot tested the efficacy of computer-based training implementing rhythm and timing in chronic, severe, stroke-induced hemiparesis. METHODS Two chronic stroke patients were administered the upper-extremity section of the Fugl-Meyer Impairment Scale (FM), the Arm Motor Ability Test

Of 156 stroke patients prospectively and consecutively evaluated, one-third had a homonymous hemianopia. Of those 52 patients, 46% had a horizontal conjugate gaze paresis at the time of presentation. This gaze paresis was most commonly seen with large hemispheric stroke. The overall prognosis in

Stroke survivors are often characterized by hemiparesis, i.e., paralysis in one half of the body, that severely affects upper limb movements. Continuous monitoring of the progression of hemiparesis requires manual observation of the limb movements at regular intervals and hence is a labour intensive

Strokes which result in the isolated, pure motor weakness of an upper extremity are unusual and under-recognized cerebrovascular syndromes. Few reports in the literature describe the syndrome adequately or provide substantive clinical or anatomical correlation. Moreover, it may be misdiagnosed as a

We studied 15 consecutive patients with acute brachial monoparesis due to stroke. There were 12 men and 3 women aged 45-78 years (mean, 61). Stroke workup included brain imaging, carotid duplex, echocardiography, and blood tests. In nine patients, the arm weakness was mainly distal, and in six it

BACKGROUND Acute stroke presenting as monoparesis is rare, with a pure motor deficit in the arm or leg extending to an isolated facial paresis. OBJECTIVE To raise the question if acute stroke presenting as monoparesis is a different entity from stroke with a more extensive motor deficit. METHODS In

Aim. Spontaneous cervical epidural hematoma (SCEH) is defined as an epidural hematoma that does not have an etiological explanation. The most common site for SCEH is cervicothoracic area. Early diagnosis and treatment are important for prognosis and good results. In this paper, we aimed to present a

Background and purpose: Neuromodulation is a promising approach to increase motor recovery in stroke. However, so far, there is a scarcity of evidence documenting the clinical potential of tDCS administered in the acute phase of stroke.

We aimed to examine the rate of force development (RFD) of knee extensors on both sides in independently ambulant patients with acute stroke with mild paresis compared with that in age-matched healthy adults. A total 31 patients with acute stroke history (patient group: 67 ± 12 years) and 54

BACKGROUND Medical rehabilitation focuses on improvement of functional recovery in post stroke patients. The aim of the work was to analyze functional recovery in a cohort of post stroke patients with hemiparesis three months after stroke. METHODS A prospective, cohort study included 30 patients
