Physiotherapy management of Multiple sclerosisKeerthi Priya
This document provides an overview of the physical therapy management of multiple sclerosis. It discusses assessing patients through examinations of vital signs, cognition, sensation, motor function, posture, balance, gait, locomotion, aerobic capacity, and functional independence. Short term goals include minimizing progression, preventing complications, and maintaining respiratory and functional abilities while long term goals focus on decreasing spasticity and improving strength, range of motion, balance, and activities of daily living. Management techniques for weaknesses, spasticity, ataxia, fatigue, locomotion, and swallowing are outlined, including exercises, stretches, electrical stimulation, and energy conservation methods.
The document discusses the Berg Balance Scale (BBS), which is a 14-item clinical test used to assess static and dynamic balance abilities. It involves tasks of increasing difficulty ranging from sitting to standing to walking. Scores are interpreted on a scale of 0 to 4 for each item, with a maximum total of 56 indicating low fall risk. The BBS has been validated as a reliable tool for measuring balance impairment, especially in elderly patients and those with conditions like stroke. However, it may lack sensitivity for early-stage stroke patients and not adequately challenge very high-functioning individuals.
At the end of the lecture, the students should be able to:
Discuss the theoretical basis of the neurodevelopmental approaches
Discuss the concepts and principles underlying the Bobath approach
Discuss the concepts and principles underlying the Brunnstrom approach
This is the presentation which was delivered to third year Bachelor of Physiotherapy students at Kathmandu University School of Medical Sciences (KUSMS), Dhulikhel, Nepal. Different schools of thoughts in manual therapy are the part of curriculum for the undergraduate students at KUSMS.
Brunnstrom Approach
Brunnstrom's Approach (SIGNE BRUNNSTROM)
Objectives: ➢ Discuss the concepts and principles underlying Brunnstrom’s approach ➢ Brunnstrom recovery stages ➢ Treatment principles & techniques
★ Brunnstrom’s approach was developed by the physical therapist from Sweden in the early 1950’s
★ Brunnstrom used motor control theory and observations of the patients'
★ Procedure: In a “trial & error” fashion ★ Later modified: in light of neurophysiological knowledge
Introduction: Reflex Theory Movement is controlled by stimulus-response. Reflexes are the basis for movement: reflexes are combined into actions that create behavior. Hierarchical Theory Characterized by a top-down structure, in which higher centers are always in charge of lower centers.
● When the CNS is injured, as, in a cerebrovascular accident, an individual goes through an “evolution in reverse”. Movement becomes primitive, reflexive, and automatic.
● Changes in tone and the presence of reflexes are considered a normal process of recovery.
● Movement recovery tends to be stereotypic.
● Patients exhibit only a few stereotypic movement patterns: Basic Limb Synergies.
● Based on observations of recovery following a stroke, this approach makes use of associated reactions, tonic reflexes, and the development of basic limb synergies to facilitate movements.
● The use of such a procedure is temporary.
Basic Limb Synergies:
● Normal synergistic movements are purposeful movements with maximum precision and minimum waste of energy.
● Basic limb synergy (BLS) does not permit the different combinations of muscles.
● BLS is considered primitive, automatic, and reflexive due to loss of inhibitory control from higher centers.
● Mass movement patterns in response to a stimulus or voluntary effort both Gross flexor movement (Flexor Synergy) Gross extensor movement (Extensor Synergy) Combination of the strongest component of the synergies (Mixed Synergy)
● Appear during the early spastic period of recovery

Hierachical theory- says that higher centers control on lower center; but when higher center damage then this inhibitory control from the higher center is loss which leads to exageration of the movt.
In normal individual, these occur a smooth, rhythmic movt. Because there is a presence of control from higher center on lower center.
This document provides an overview of performing an examination of the shoulder, including assessing functional anatomy, subjective factors, and objective tests. It describes the resting and closed pack positions of the glenohumeral, acromioclavicular, and sternoclavicular joints.

The EXCITE Trial: Retention of Improved Upper Extremity Function Among Stroke Survivors Receiving CI Movement Therapy.(2008)
The Extremity Constraint Induced Movement Therapy Evaluation (EXCITE) demonstrated that CIMT administered 3-9 months post-stroke, resulted in statistically significant and clinically relevant improvement in upper extremity function during the first year compared to those achieved by participants undergoing usual and customary care.
This study was the first randomized clinical trial to examine retention and improvements for the 24 month period following CIMT therapy in a subacute sample.
Study design - single masked cross-over design, with participants undergoing adaptive randomization to balance ,gender, prestroke dominant side, side of stroke, and level of paretic arm function across sites.
CIMT was delivered up to 6 hours per day, 5 days per week for 2 weeks.
Subsequent evaluations were made after the two week period, and at 4, 8, and 12 months.
Because the control group was crossed over to receive CIMT after one year.
Primary outcome measures – Wolf Motor Function Test
Motor Activity Log
Secondary outcome measure - Stroke Impact Scale (SIS)
were assessed at each of these time intervals, was administered only at baseline, 4, 12, 16 and 24 month evaluations.
Result :There was no observed regression from the treatment effects observed at 12 months after treatment during the next 12 months for the primary outcome measures of WMFT and MAL.
In fact, the additional changes were in the direction of increased therapeutic effect. For the strength components of the WMFT the changes were significant (P < .05) Secondary outcome variables, including the SIS, exhibited a similar pattern.
Conclusion: Mild to moderately impaired patients who are 3-9 months post-stroke demonstrate
Retraining of motor control basing on understanding of normal movement & analysis of motor dysfunction.
Emphasis of MRP is on practice of specific activities, the training of cognitive control over muscles & movt. Components of activities & conscious elimination of unnecessary muscle activity.
In rehabilitation programme involve – real life activities included.
The document describes the Motor Re-Learning Program (MRP), an approach to improving motor control after stroke. The MRP focuses on relearning daily activities through task-oriented practice and is based on theories of distributed motor control. The summary is:
1. The MRP involves analyzing tasks, practicing missing components, practicing whole tasks, and transferring learning to other contexts.
2. Intervention follows four steps - analyzing the task, practicing missing components, practicing the whole task, and transferring learning.
3. The program evaluates and improves functions like upper limb use, sitting, and walking through identifying normal movement and compensatory strategies.
Myasthenia Gravis is an autoimmune disorder affecting the neuromuscular junction. Physiotherapy can help patient not only in teaching the patients learn muscle energy conservation technique but also improve the overall functional status of the patient.
Myasthenia Gravis is a neuromuscular disease causing fluctuating muscle weakness and fatigue due to a breakdown in communication between nerves and muscles. There is no cure, but treatment can relieve symptoms. Signs include weakness of specific muscles like eyes and throat, as well as limbs, worsened by exertion and stress. Physical therapy focuses on aerobic exercise, strength training, swimming, posture, and breathing to build functional capacity and decrease fatigue while avoiding overexertion that worsens symptoms. The goal is improved mobility, balance, and ability to perform daily activities.
This document discusses Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), including its definition, clinical features, assessment scales, and phases. It defines GBS as an acute/subacute symmetrical motor neuropathy involving more than one peripheral nerve. The phases of GBS are described as the acute, plateau, and recovery phases. For each phase, goals of physical therapy and examples of interventions are provided, such as chest physiotherapy, positioning, stretching, and strengthening exercises to address weaknesses and functional limitations during the different stages of GBS.
Walking is a phenomenon that is taken for granted by healthy individuals, but requires a complex control of the neuromusculoskeletal system. Walking is mainly a result of an automatic process, involving the spinal cord and brainstem mechanisms. Hemiplegic type of gait of a person who has had a brain insult and depends on which area of the brain is affected. Hemiplegic gait usually has:
Decreased stance phase and prolonged swing phase of the paretic side.
Decreased walking speed and shorter stride length.
Rood's approach is a neurophysiological technique developed in 1940 based on reflex models of motor control. It uses sensory stimulation to normalize tone and elicit desired muscle responses based on developmental sequences. The key concepts are:
1. Categorizing muscles as tonic or phasic for stability or mobility.
2. Using ontogenic sequences of motor and vital functions development.
3. Applying appropriate sensory stimuli like touch or vibration to proprioceptive, exteroceptive, and vestibular receptors.
4. Manipulating the autonomic nervous system with techniques like icing or warming.
The Bobath concept is an approach to treating mobility difficulties caused by neurological conditions like cerebral palsy and strokes. It was developed over 50 years ago by Bertha and Karel Bobath based on clinical experience and the neuroscience of the time. The Bobath approach uses specialized handling techniques to reduce abnormal tone and facilitate normal movements. Through positioning and handling, stiffness can be reduced and muscle control and movement improved. The overall aim is to enable better functioning in daily life.
Physiotherapy management of Head InjuryKeerthi Priya
This document discusses head injuries and their classification, as well as scales used to measure head injuries. It describes physical therapy management for mild, moderate, and severe head injuries. For severe injuries, PT focuses on preventing secondary complications like contractures and bed sores through positioning, splinting, and early mobility. For moderate injuries, interventions include motor relearning programs and task-oriented approaches. PT for mild injuries includes vestibular rehabilitation and balance training.
This document provides information about late responses in nerve conduction studies, including F-waves, H-reflexes, and axon reflexes. It discusses the mechanisms, characteristics, and clinical applications of each response. The F-wave results from antidromic stimulation of motor neurons and evaluates more proximal nerve segments. The H-reflex is a monosynaptic stretch reflex that is reliably measured in the lower limbs. Axon reflexes occur due to terminal nerve branching and suggest reinnervation. Late responses provide valuable information about radiculopathies and plexopathies that cannot be observed with distal nerve studies alone.
1. The document outlines the general management of ataxia through relaxation techniques, strengthening exercises, and fatigue reduction measures.
2. The goals of general physical therapy for ataxia are to prevent complications, treat symptoms like hypotonicity and dysmetria, improve muscle strength and range of motion, and provide education to patients.
3. Specific techniques discussed include relaxation, strength and cardiovascular conditioning, pain management, functional training, and flexibility exercises. Patient education is also emphasized.
Voluntary Control and Assessment Physiotherapy Perspective.pptxSusan Jose
This document discusses voluntary control of movements and assessment methods. Voluntary control is the ability to produce and control movements volitionally and adapt to tasks and the environment. Normal synergy involves linked muscles acting cooperatively, while abnormal synergy is stereotypical and non-adaptable. Assessment can be qualitative using grading scales or quantitative using tools like the Fugl-Meyer Assessment which evaluates motor function, sensation, balance, and range of motion. The Trunk Impairment Scale assesses trunk control in sitting and coordination. Good assessment informs effective treatment.
Dr. James Cyriax developed Cyriax techniques in the early 1900s as a systematic approach to soft tissue injuries. The techniques involve selective tissue tension testing to diagnose lesions, followed by treatments like deep friction massage, passive movements, and active exercises. Deep friction massage uses longitudinal or transverse forces to separate tissue fibers and relieve pain. Passive movements can be graded from low-force range-of-motion to high-velocity small-amplitude thrusts. Active exercises prevent immobilization effects and maintain tissue integrity. Together, Cyriax techniques aim to accurately diagnose and beneficially treat soft tissue disorders.
