Hamstring Contractures

three applications of direct current at 600 µA interrupted by intervals of 30 seconds between application at the level of the muscular belly of the shortened hamstrings.

Droxidopa will be supplied in 100 and 200 mg pill sizes. The subject should administer the three doses 4 hours apart with the last dose prior to 4:00 pm (example: 8:00 am, 12:00 pm, and 4:00 pm). The proposed dosing is 100mg TID at baseline, then titrate slowly up to 600 mg TID. During titration, droxidopa or placebo, initiated at 100 mg TID was titrated upward in 100-mg TID increments every 48 hours until the subject:
Reaches the maximum permitted dosage of 600 mg TID;
Has a systolic blood pressure≥160mmHg or diastolic blood pressure ≥100mmHg after 10 minutes supine on 3 consecutive measurements; or
Experiences intolerable adverse events (AEs).

Effects of Droxidopa When Measuring Gait Speed, Kyphosis, and Functional Reach in Parkinson's Disease

10 meter walk test
Subject walks without assistance 10 meters (32.8 feet).
Assistive devices can be used but should be kept consistent and documented from test to test.
If physical assistance is required to walk, this should not be performed
Collect three trials and calculate the average of the three trials
Individuals are permitted to use the assistive device they typically use in the community, but without the assistance of another person.

Subjects are given verbal instructions to stand up from a chair, walk 3 meters as quickly and safely as possible, cross a line marked on the floor, turn around, walk back, and sit down.
In the TUG (Cognitive), individuals were asked to complete the test while counting backward by threes from a randomly selected number between 20 and 100.

Flexi-curve measurement
Instruct subject to "stand in your usual best posture"
Identify C7 spinous process.
Identify the L-S interspace.
Mark each landmark (C7 process and L-S space) with a single horizontal grease pencil line.
Make sure the patient is standing in their usual best posture so that the marks are in the correct place during measurement using flexi-curve ruler.

Forward Functional Reach test
Using a yardstick mounted on the wall at shoulder height, ask the subject to position body close to, but not touching the wall with arm outstretched and hand fisted. Take note of the starting position by determining what number the MCP joints line up with on the rule.
Have the subject reach as far forward as possible in a plane parallel with the measuring device.
Instruct subject to "Reach as far forward as you can go without taking a step." Subjects are free to use various reaching strategies.
Take note of the end position of the MCP joints against the ruler, and record the difference between the starting and end position numbers.
If the feet move, that trial must be discarded and repeated.
