“…At baseline, we found the CAM to be more sensitive than the MMSE in predicting responder status, with Responders scoring 6 points higher than Non-Responders on the CAM, consistent with research showing that patients with milder dementia may show greater improvement with shunting (28).…”

“…Clinical outcome measures at different ICF levels were selected. On body functions and structures level, the Motricity Index (MI) [36], active maximum and 10" sustained shoulder range of motion (ROM) by means of the mini digital protractor inclinometer and Jamar handgrip strength [37] were performed.…”

Robot-mediated training resulted in improved movement coordination in both groups, as well as clinical improvement in pwMS. Absence of functional improvements in stroke patients may relate to severe upper limb dysfunction at baseline. Implications for Rehabilitation Robot-mediated training improved strength, active range of motion and upper limb capacity in pwMS. Robot-mediated therapy allows for adapted training difficulty.

Thumb hypoplasia and radial dysplasia are two of the most common hand therapy requiring conditions among the congenital problems. However, any cases with congenital agenesis of bilateral thumb extensors, and their related rehabilitatitive therapy were not reported in the literature. The aim of this case report is to make the first contribution to the restoration of thumb extension function in a child with congenital absence of bilateral extensor pollicis longus (EPL) and extensor pollicis brevis (EPB) The case was a 5-year old girl and her family noticed that she had no thumb extension. Results of the tests performed to eliminate the other systemic problems were all in normal ranges. The patient underwent immobilization in a forearm cast with 20° wrist extension and full thumb extension and abduction for 6 weeks. During this period, early dynamic motion protocol was applied by a wire-rubber system splint. After removal of the splint, therapeutic ultrasound was applied and passive and active-assisted exercises gradually proceeded to resistive exercises through the 8 th week. By the 8 th week, occupational therapy with gradually increasing resistance was initiated while the patient was permitted to use both hands in daily activities after 4 th month. Assessments on the postoperative 6 th , 8 th and 12 th weeks revealed significant improvements in range of motion in the thumbs, grip and pinching strengths and hand functional level. Restoration of thumb extension with surgery and hand rehabilitation before school age provided optimal hand function and quality of life of this child.
