paraplegia/stroke

BACKGROUND Endoluminal repair of thoracic aortic pathology has become established in clinical practice, but is associated with significant neurological complications. The aim of this study was to identify factors that were predictive of stroke and paraplegia. METHODS Prospective data was collected

OBJECTIVE Stent grafting has become the first-line approach to traumatic thoracic aortic transections (TTAT) in some trauma centers due to a perceived decrease in morbidity and mortality compared with standard open repair. We reviewed contemporary outcomes of patients undergoing endovascular repair

OBJECTIVE To gain insight into the biomechanics of upslope wheelchair stroking by examining the changes in kinematic and electromyographic characteristics of wheelchair propulsion over ramps of different slopes. METHODS Repeated-measures design. Each subject pushed up a wooden ramp (7.3m long) 3

Although patients with acute type A aortic dissection are best managed by emergency surgical intervention, preoperative stroke is known to be an independent predictor of late mortality and is considered by some to be a contraindication to operation because of the risk of precipitating hemorrhagic

The study was a cross sectional study conducted among 48 stroke patients in Medicine & Neuromedicine department of Mymensingh Medical College & Hospital. The objective of the study was to reveal the risk factors and other relevant information & immediate outcome of stroke patients. The sample size

METHODS Cross-sectional study. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to examine stroke characteristics of long-term manual wheelchair users during an extended manual wheelchair propulsion trial and the extent to which changes in propulsion biomechanics occurred. METHODS Human Engineering Research

OBJECTIVE To create a comprehensive definition of the manual wheelchair stroke cycle, which includes multiple periods of pushrim contact, and to show its improved clinical benefit to wheelchair propulsion analyses. METHODS Cross-sectional biomechanics study. METHODS Three motion analysis

BACKGROUND The clinical pattern and etiology of stroke may vary over time or with geographical location. In Asian countries, specific etiology and outcome of childhood stroke have been rarely reported. OBJECTIVE To determine the clinical and etiological pattern of childhood stroke and their outcome

Heterotopic ossification is a recognized complication in patients with head injury, burns, paraplegia, or direct trauma to muscle tissue. Heterotopic ossification with hemiplegia following stroke is considered rare. A case of a 53-year-old patient with right hemiplegia who developed painful right

Only eight cases of spinal cord ischaemic stroke causing paraplegia with associated vertebral body infarction have been previously described. We describe a ninth case with histopathology confirming the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) appearance of vertebral body infarction. We have reviewed the

BACKGROUND Selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR) is often recommended for children with spastic paraparesis and cerebral palsy. SDR reduces spasticity in the lower extremities for these children with spastic paraplegia. However, SDR is infrequently recommended for adults with spasticity. Spastic diplegia

BACKGROUND The aim of the present research was to examine the effects of 12 weeks of combined dry land strength and resistance swimming training for increasing upper body strength, swimming performance and stroking parameters in swimmers with paraplegia and to determine correlation between these
