“…The underlying causes of physical dysfunction in Japanese LTC elderly include cerebrovascular disease, dementia, fractures, falls, weakness as a result of aging, and arthritis . Recent studies have shown that these diseases with physical dysfunction are associated with low sympathetic nervous system activity …”

“…Muslumanoglu et al . showed that low SSR was associated with greater severity of paralysis, and depression of sympathetic reflex activity was associated with moderate or severely limited motor function in the chronic phase of ischemic cerebrovascular disease in elderly patients . In addition, low plasma norepinephrine and low iodine‐131‐meta‐iodobenzylguanidine ( 123 I‐MIBG) uptake were observed in patients with Lewy body dementia compared with normal healthy subjects .…”

Title. Predictors of poststroke quality of life in older Chinese adults. Aim. This paper is a report of a study to identify the changes in poststroke quality of life and other clinical issues among older Chinese adults from 1 month to 6 months after stroke and the predictors of poststroke quality of life at 6 months. Background. Stroke survivors are known to suffer from prolonged and multiple impairments leading to a compromised quality of life, but few studies report early predictors for quality of life among older Chinese adults after active rehabilitation has been undertaken during the first 6 months after stroke. Method. A total of 214 patients with first-ever ischaemic stroke were interviewed by a research nurse at 1 month and 188 patients were interviewed again 6 months after hospital admission for stroke. Assessment of quality of life was done using the Modified Rankin Scale for Quality of Life. Changes in and relationships between quality of life and variables in five domains were explored: bio-anatomical, physical, emotional, cognitive, communicative and social support. The data were collected in 2004-2005. Results. Quality of life among two-thirds of participants was unchanged or lower when scores at 1 month and 6 months after stroke were compared. Length of hospital stay after admission for stroke and other 1-month factors -level of worry over current health, cognitive and self-care deficits -were identified as having independent effects on quality of life at 6 months. Conclusion. Clinicians need to observe for early signs of mild cognitive impairments and emotional needs of stroke survivors, as well as to consider longer-term interventions to enhance poststroke quality of life.

“…Similar to our findings, many studies have reported amplitude abnormalities of SSR in hemiparetic extremities during different stages of stroke. [2,5,[10][11] Overactivity of the sympathetic system, as seen in CRPS, would be expected to alter skin resistance through its effect on sudomotor fibers, thereby effecting the amplitude of the SSR. Due to the complex and multisynaptic nature of SSR, it can be affected by CRPS independent of its pathogenesis, However, very few studies have compared the responses in patients with and without CRPS.…”
