This is a list of major and frequently observed neurological disorders (e.g., Alzheimer's disease), symptoms (e.g., back pain), signs (e.g., aphasia) and syndromes (e ...
Physical therapy may be helpful to maintain muscle strength. Orthopedic appliances such as braces and wheelchairs may improve mobility and self-care. [14] Immunosuppressant steroids have been known to help slow the progression of Becker muscular dystrophy. [23]
distal Wallerian degeneration; partial or complete connective tissue lesion; severe sensory-motor problems and autonomic function defect; nerve conduction distal to the site of injury absent (3 to 4 days after lesion) no distal conduction (EMG and NCV (nerve conduction velocity) surgical intervention is necessary to restore function
Codes were added to document characteristics as adaptability, responsivity, predictability, persistence, and approachability. "Sensing" and "exploration of objects" codes were expanded as well as the "importance of learning". [4] Since a child's main occupation is playing, it is also important to include more codes in this area.
Reports have shown that physical therapy does aid in treating NC in patients with light to mild symptoms, [22] [44] whilst others have shown the contrary. [ 10 ] [ 23 ] It has also been found that patients with more severe symptoms of NC find less long-term success in treating the condition through physical therapy.
Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a rare neurodegenerative disorder [1] characterized by tremors, slow movement, muscle rigidity, postural instability (collectively known as parkinsonism), autonomic dysfunction and ataxia.
The McKenzie method is a technique primarily used in physical therapy.It was developed in the late 1950s by New Zealand physiotherapist Robin McKenzie. [1] [2] [3] In 1981 he launched the concept which he called "Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy (MDT)" – a system encompassing assessment, diagnosis and treatment for the spine and extremities.
Tabes dorsalis is a late consequence of neurosyphilis, characterized by the slow degeneration (specifically, demyelination) of the neural tracts primarily in the dorsal root ganglia of the spinal cord (nerve root). These patients have lancinating nerve root pain which is aggravated by coughing, and features of sensory ataxia with ocular ...
