We studied the incidence and clinical characteristics of pseudogout complicating stroke and the clinical characteristics of pseudogout occurring after stroke. Ten of 181 patients with stroke developed pseudogout. Compared with the patients of other disease, the incidence of pseudogout in the stroke
OBJECTIVE
To establish the prevalence and patterns of self-reported musculoskeletal symptoms in community-dwelling stroke survivors and their impact on common activities of daily living.
METHODS
Analysis of data from two consecutive postal surveys in northern England. Data on overall joint pain,
Heterotopic ossification (HO) is a complication of injury to the central nervous system in which production of lamellar bone within the soft tissues occurs resulting in pain, reduced range of motion (ROM) and loss of functional capacity. Heterotopic ossification is rarely seen in stroke patients and
Shoulder pain and stiffness is a serious problem in patients following stroke. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of a shoulder positioning protocol on shoulder joint pain and range in the affected upper limb. Twenty-eight subjects were randomly assigned to the experimental or
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic systemic inflammatory disease which is associated with an increased risk of cardio and cerebrovascular pathology. A 48-year old Caucasian female was admitted for diffuse arthralgias. She was diagnosed eight years before with seropositive RA and she received
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the efficacy of intra-articular hyaluronic acid (IAHA) injection for hemiplegic shoulder pain (HSP) after stroke.
METHODS
Thirty-one patients with HSP and limited range of motion (ROM) without spasticity of upper extremity were recruited. All subjects were randomly allocated to
For patients with cerebrovascular disease a chart for motor capacity assessment modified after that of Fugl-Meyer et al. has been developed. The chart comprises assessment of the ability to perform active movements and rapid movement changes, mobility, balance, sensation, joint pain and passive
OBJECTIVE
Chronic pain is increasingly recognized as a consequence of stroke. This study aimed to describe the prevalence and pain types of new onset chronic pain ("novel pain") in patients with stroke compared with a randomly selected reference group from the general population and to identify
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of botulinum A toxin for the treatment of post-stroke spasticity patients. Twenty two post-stroke spasticity patients were recruited in the study. All patients had moderate to severe spasticity of upper and lower extremities. Botulinum toxin
Shoulder joint pain occupies the second place among muscle-skeletal disorders in frequency categories. A main reason of this problem are overload, trauma, osteoartchritis or spascity after stroke. An aim of this study was to determinate an influence of crotherapy and warm radiation on effectivness
BACKGROUND
Comfort/discomfort (C/D) is an important factor of quality of life (QoL). Brain damage is a major source of discomfort. We developed a questionnaire for assessing C/D in daily living situations and for identifying the main causes of any discomfort and presented its pilot assessment in a
Microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) is a primary systemic vasculitis characterized by inflammation of small-sized vessels associated with the presence of anti-neutrophilic cytoplasmic antibodies. We report a case of a 39-year-old female diagnosed with microscopic polyangiitis as an incidental finding who
Deficiency of adenosine deaminase 2 (ADA2) due to homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations in the cat eye syndrome chromosome region, candidate 1 (CECR1) gene causes an autoimmune phenotype with systemic vasculitis affecting the skin, inner organs, and the central nervous system. Typically,
BACKGROUND
Heterotopic ossification (HO), characterized by new bone formation in the periarticular regions of large joints, is frequently seen after spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, burn and trauma. It is a rare complication of hemiplegia following stroke, with a reported incidence of 1%
BACKGROUND
Post-stroke pain is common and affects the quality of life of stroke survivors, but the incidence and severity of headache, shoulder pain, other joint pain and central post-stroke pain following stroke still remain unclear. The aim of this prospective study was to determine the incidence
