A 56-year-old patient experienced sudden headache and vomiting during lunch, and was diagnosed with stroke after being sent to the hospital with right hemiplegia and left facial nerve palsy. The most likely location of the lesion is the basal ganglia. Stroke patients with left hemiplegia and sensory loss, with better mobility in the lower limb than the upper limb, likely have a lesion in the middle cerebral artery. A 55-year-old male with sudden right hemiplegia and urinary incontinence was diagnosed with an embolic stroke; after two months, his right upper limb recovered nearly normally but his right lower limb remained weak, indicating a likely lesion in the internal carotid artery.

Rehabilitation of sciatica
Sciatica is a common pain syndrome, considering that ∼10% of low back pain
episodes, which have a lifetime cumulative incidence of 80%, will be accompanied
by sciatica. Nerve root compression by disc herniation is regarded as the most
frequent cause of sciatica.

- The ACL originates on the lateral femoral condyle and inserts on the tibia, providing primary stability to prevent anterior tibial translation.
- Most ACL tears are non-contact injuries involving sudden deceleration, change of direction, or landing from a jump with the knee near full extension.
- Physical exam includes Lachman, anterior drawer, and pivot shift tests to assess knee stability. MRI is used to confirm ACL tear.
- Treatment options include conservative rehab for partial or low-grade tears or ACL reconstruction surgery using grafts like patellar tendon or hamstring tendons fixed with interference screws. Post-op rehab emphasizes early range of motion and weight bearing.
Scapular dyskinesis refers to abnormal or dysfunctional movement of the scapula. It can impair shoulder function and create issues like decreased subacromial space and rotator cuff weakness. Scapular dyskinesis is often associated with shoulder injuries like labral tears, impingement, and rotator cuff injuries. Rehabilitation focuses on strengthening the scapular stabilizing muscles like the serratus anterior and lower trapezius to improve scapular control and positioning during arm movements.
Scapular dyskinesis refers to abnormal static positioning or dynamic motion of the scapula during arm elevation and is associated with shoulder injury. It has multiple potential causes including muscle weakness or imbalance. The document discusses the muscular attachments of the scapula, types of scapular dyskinesis, its effects on dynamic stability and shoulder strength, assessment methods, and rehabilitation treatments focusing on strengthening the lower trapezius and serratus anterior muscles to achieve optimal scapular positioning.
The document summarizes the Mulligan technique, an evidence-based manual therapy developed by Brian Mulligan. It was founded on the concept of mobilizing joints with movement to reduce pain and improve range of motion. The technique uses sustained natural glides applied by a therapist concurrently with an active movement by the patient. It aims to correct minor positional faults in joints that cause pain and stiffness. The document outlines the technique's mechanisms of action, principles, indications, contraindications and specific mobilization techniques such as SNAGs, MWMs, and SMWLMs.
Advances in shoulder surgery and rehabilitation - Len Funk 2012Lennard Funk
This document discusses how arthroscopic shoulder surgery rehabilitation has progressed along with the surgery itself. While surgery has advanced significantly with smaller incisions and faster recovery times, the literature finds the rehabilitation protocols lack evidence. Early mobilization is beneficial for tendon healing, strength recovery, and restoration of the kinetic chain. However, immobilization does not necessarily lead to more stiffness long-term. Further research is still needed on the effects of immobilization versus early motion on re-tear rates. Overall, rehabilitation should aim to restore the shoulder kinetic chain through closed-chain exercises in a progressive manner based on the specific procedure.
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.

The exercises focus on repetition to improve proprioception and coordination through concentrating on precise movements while using multiple sensory inputs like vision and hearing. They progress from simple to complex patterns involving single or alternating limbs in various positions like lying, sitting, standing, and walking. The goal is to retrain coordination without fatigue through gradual complication of the exercises.
The document discusses Mitchell's relaxation technique, which uses diaphragmatic breathing and isotonic muscle contractions based on reciprocal inhibition. It can be used to treat respiratory, orthopedic, post-natal, and psychiatric conditions. The technique promotes relaxation and reduces muscle tension and pain perception. It is effective for pre-labor Braxton Hicks contractions and realigning stress-related postures by moving to a new position and increasing awareness of body position. Mitchell's relaxation technique can also help conditions involving a high tone pelvic floor like painful bladder syndrome.
This document discusses the physical examination of the shoulder, including assessment of range of motion and specific tests to evaluate for common shoulder pathologies. It begins by reviewing the anatomy of the shoulder joint and surrounding structures. Range of motion is assessed in all planes, including active and passive motion. Specific tests are described to evaluate the rotator cuff muscles, biceps tendon, and impingement. Conditions like tendonitis, bursitis, tears, and impingement can be identified by pain or weakness during particular range of motion activities against resistance. The physical examination provides insight into shoulder function and the source of any pain or limitations.
Manual therapy techniques like joint mobilizations and manipulations can be used to safely restore normal joint mechanics and reduce trauma. Effective use requires knowledge of anatomy, arthrokinematics, and pathologies. Several concepts for manual therapy techniques were introduced, including Cyriax, Mulligan, Maitland, and McKenzie. Contraindications include inflammation, effusion, and hypermobility while indications include reversible hypomobility and functional limitations responding to mechanical treatment. Grading systems determine appropriate mobilization force and different joints require specific examination and treatment techniques.

The document provides examples of how PNF can be applied to facilitate different muscle groups and motions.
A chronicle on muscle strengthening:
MMT is a procedure for the evaluation of strength of individual
muscle or muscles group, based upon the effective performance of a movement in relation to the forces of gravity or manual resistance through the available ROM.
This document discusses prehension, or gripping, which is made possible by the opposable thumb in humans. It describes two main types of grip: power grip, which involves the whole hand and is used to hold cylindrical or spherical objects, and precision grip, which requires finer motor control and pad-to-pad, tip-to-tip, or pad-to-side contact between the thumb and fingers. Specific grips like hook, spherical, and lateral grips are subtypes of power grip. Precision grips depend on intact sensation and muscles like the flexor pollicis brevis and opponens pollicis. The functional position of the wrist and fingers optimizes power and efficiency of grip.
Joint mobilization refers to a technique of manual therapy by which a therapist applies a brief stretch of 30s or less through traction and gliding along a joint surface.
The document summarizes key aspects of human walking (gait) including:
- The gait cycle is divided into stance and swing periods, with distinct functional tasks in each.

It then provides detailed descriptions of the assessment of mental status, cranial nerves, motor function, sensation, and diagnostic tests for neurologic disorders. The assessments are aimed at identifying neurologic dysfunction.
1. The neurological examination document outlines the process and components of examining a patient's nervous system, including terminology, indications, and aspects of the exam such as level of consciousness, cranial nerve function, motor function, and reflexes.
2. Nurses play an important role in conducting and documenting the neurological exam. This includes setting up equipment, assessing vital signs, performing tests of mental status, cranial nerves, motor skills, sensation, and reflexes, and communicating findings to doctors.
3. The goal of the neurological exam is to determine if there is any disease or abnormality present in the nervous system by thoroughly assessing multiple domains of neurological function.
Cerebral palsy is a heterogeneous disorder of movement and posture caused by a non-progressive brain injury early in development. It presents with a wide variety of motor impairments and can be classified anatomically (e.g. hemiplegia) or physiologically (e.g. spastic, athetoid). Risk factors include prenatal, perinatal, and postnatal insults. Treatment involves both non-operative measures like medication, bracing, and physical therapy as well as operative interventions like tendon lengthening and osteotomies to prevent or treat deformities when they interfere with function. Prognosis depends on the extent and location of brain injury.
The Brunnstrom Approach is a neurodevelopmental treatment approach for stroke rehabilitation developed in the 1970s. It involves 6 stages of motor recovery: 1) flaccidity, 2) appearance of spastic synergies, 3) semi-voluntary movement, 4) combining movements, 5) complex voluntary movement, 6) restoration of normal movement. Treatment progresses the patient through these stages using reflexes, associated reactions, proprioceptive stimuli and resistance training. Evaluation assesses motor function, sensory loss, and spasticity through tests of range of motion, grasp, and speed of movement. The goal is to facilitate normal motor control and functional use of the affected limb.
The Brunnstrom approach is a motor recovery model developed for stroke patients. It is based on the theory that development occurs in reverse order after stroke. The approach uses reflexes and primitive movement patterns to facilitate recovery of voluntary movement. Treatment progresses from reflex movements to voluntary movements to functional movements. Facilitation techniques are reduced as the patient gains voluntary control. The main goals are to move the patient through Brunnstrom's stages of recovery from flaccid to near normal movement. Bed positioning, mobility, and facilitation techniques target specific synergies and are used early in recovery.
This document provides an overview of cerebral palsy, including:
- Cerebral palsy is caused by non-progressive damage to the developing brain that causes motor impairments. Common types include spastic diplegia, hemiplegia, and quadriplegia.
- Insults can occur prenatally, perinatally, or postnatally from factors like genetic disorders, infections, or trauma.
- Treatment is multidisciplinary and may include medications, physical therapy, bracing, and surgery to address secondary deformities like contractures. Surgical procedures are aimed at improving function, mobility, and care.
The Brunnstrom approach is a physical therapy technique developed by Signe Brunnstrom for patients with hemiplegia. It uses reflexes and primitive movements to facilitate voluntary movement by progressing through normal developmental stages. The approach assesses tonic reflexes, associated reactions, sensory function, and classifies motor recovery into 6 stages. Exercises aim to elicit synergies and facilitate movement using proprioceptive and exteroceptive cues.
1. The supranuclear control centers for eye movements include the brainstem, cerebellum, basal ganglia, and cerebral cortex. The brainstem centers determine how the eyes move while the cortex determines when and where the eyes move.
2. Important brainstem centers include the PPRF, MLF, NPH, riMLF, and INC which control horizontal, vertical, and torsional eye movements through connections to the cranial nerve nuclei. Lesions can cause gaze palsies, nystagmus, and impaired gaze holding.
3. Other centers control smooth pursuit, vergence, and the vestibulo-ocular reflex. Supranuclear disorders can impair sacc
This document provides information on the assessment and management of various low back pain conditions. It discusses acute and chronic back pain, sciatica, radiculopathy, spondylolisthesis, and spinal stenosis. Treatment approaches include education, exercises, analgesics, physical therapy, injections, and surgery if conservative options fail. Referral is recommended for urgent cases involving neurological deficits or when pain persists for over 3 months without an identified cause.
Jose Austine- Orthopaedic evaluation of cerebral palsyJose Austine
This document provides an overview of cerebral palsy (CP), including its history, definition, classification, etiology, assessment, and orthopedic evaluation. CP is caused by non-progressive brain lesions early in development that result in abnormal muscle tone and movement. It is important to correctly classify a patient's CP based on their motor function and movement disorder. A thorough orthopedic evaluation includes assessing medical history, physical exam of muscle tone and strength, contractures, deformities, and gait. Gait analysis through observation and in a lab helps document the patient's movement and plan for surgical interventions. The goal of evaluation and classification is to guide appropriate treatment and management of CP.

How to Build a Module in Odoo 17 Using the Scaffold MethodCeline George
Odoo provides an option for creating a module by using a single line command. By using this command the user can make a whole structure of a module. It is very easy for a beginner to make a module. There is no need to make each file manually. This slide will show how to create a module using the scaffold method.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

How to Fix the Import Error in the Odoo 17Celine George
An import error occurs when a program fails to import a module or library, disrupting its execution. In languages like Python, this issue arises when the specified module cannot be found or accessed, hindering the program's functionality. Resolving import errors is crucial for maintaining smooth software operation and uninterrupted development processes.
21. • Poor prognosis associated also with:
– No measurable grasp strength by 4 weeks
– Severe proximal spasticity
– Prolonged “flaccidity” period
– Late return of proprioceptive facilitation
(tapping) response > 9 days
– Late return of proximal traction response
(shoulder flexors/adductors) > 13 days
22. • Brunnstrom (1966, 1970) and Sawner (1992) also described the process of
recovery following stroke-induced hemiplegia. The process was divided
into a number of stages:
• 1. Flaccidity (immediately after the onset)
No “voluntary” movements on the affected side can be
initiated.
• 2. Spasticity appears.
Basic synergy patterns appear.
Minimal voluntary movements may be present.
• 3. Patient gains voluntary control over synergies.
Increase in spasticity.
23. • 4. Some movement patterns out of synergy are mastered (synergy
patterns still predominate).
Decrease in spasticity.
• 5. If progress continues, more complex movement
combinations are learned as the basic
synergies lose their dominance over motor acts.
Further decrease in spasticity.
• 6. Disappearance of spasticity.
Individual joint movements become possible and
coordination approaches normal.
• 7. Normal function is restored.

28. Theories for stroke rehabilitation
• Brunnstrom theory
• PNF theory
• Motor relearning theory
• Bobath theory:
– NDT: Neural-Developmental Theory
29. 06/13/15 Jenny 29
Brunnstrom Theory
• Aim
– To encourage the return of voluntary movement in
hemiplegia patient through the use of reflex
activity and a range of sensory stimulation.
– The choice of stimulation varies depending on
which stage the patient has reached in the
recovery process.
30. Brunnstrom Theory
• Treatment
– The process is employed until the primitive
synergies are established, then facilitation is used
to develop some voluntary control.
– The preparation for walking should be
emphasized early but that extensive walking
should be postponed in order to avoid the
development of a poor gait pattern
31. 06/13/15 Jenny 31
PNF Theory
• Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation
• Primary for the patient with neuromuscular
dysfunction
• Aim
– to promote movement and functional synergies
of movement by maximizing peripheral inputby maximizing peripheral input
32. 06/13/15 Jenny 32
PNF Theory
• Basis of practice
– People who move normally have passed through a
developmental sequencedevelopmental sequence
– Diagonal and spiral patternsDiagonal and spiral patterns of active and passive
movements are encouraged
• Treatment
– Providing appropriate sensory stimulus
– Following activities in a developmental sequence
• Patterns and techniques
33. 06/13/15 Jenny 33
Motor relearning Theory
• By Carr and Shepherd
• Aim
– To enable the disabled person to learn how toto learn how to
perform or improve performanceperform or improve performance of actions critical
to everyday life.
– Utilizing theories of learningtheories of learning, in particular the use
of practice and knowledge of results to encourage
people to learn and self monitor
– Knowledge of biomechanics for analyzing
movements and performance of tasks
34. 06/13/15 Jenny 34
Motor relearning Theory
• Basis of practice
– The motor control of posture and movement are
interrelated and that appropriate sensory input will help
modulate the motor response to a task
– The program is based on
• Elimination of unnecessary muscle activity
• Feedback
• Practice
• The link between postural adjustment and movement
• Task analysis and measurement are viewed as
essential elements of the framework.
35. 06/13/15 Jenny 35
Motor relearning Theory
• Treatment
– Movement analysis and training follow the four steps
• Analysis of the task
• Practice of the missing components
• Practice of the task
• Transference of training
– A series of task has been chosen because learning by
normal subjects has been shown to be task-specific with
minimal carry-over from one activity to another
36. 06/13/15 Jenny 36
Bobath theory: NDT
• Aim
– To improve the quality of movement on the affected sidethe quality of movement on the affected side
– Key point controlKey point control is to allow patients the experience of
normal afferent input
• Basis of practice
– The movement will be abnormal if it stems from a
background of abnormal toneabnormal tone
– Performing abnormal movements will reinforce more
abnormal movements
– Tone could be influenced by altering the position or
movement of proximal joints of the body
37. 06/13/15 Jenny 37
Bobath Theory: NDT
• Treatment
– Treatment centre around the facilitation of
corrected movement by a therapist who handles
the body at key points of controlkey points of control
– In recent years treatment has become more activeactive
, dynamic and functionally directed, dynamic and functionally directed..
– Movement are not isolated to individual joints but
take place in patterns
38. 06/13/15 Jenny 38
Bobath theory: NDT
– To help the patient to gain control over the
released patterns of spasticity by their own
inhibition
• Auto-inhibition
– Give patient normal kinematics sensation input to
facilitated normal posture and movement
– Muscle strengthening is notnot viewed as part of
treatment
– There are no set “Bobath exercise”
47. POSTSTROKE SHOULDER PAIN
• 70–84% of stroke patients with hemiplegia have
shoulder pain with varying degrees of severity.
• The majority (85%) will develop it during the
spastic phase of recovery.
• The most common causes of hemiplegic shoulder
pain are complex regional pain syndrome type I
(see below) and soft tissue lesions (including
plexus lesions).
49. Complex Regional Pain Syndrome
Type I (CRPS Type I)
• Also known as reflex sympathetic dystrophy
[RSD], shoulder-hand syndrome, or Sudeck
atrophy.
• Disorder characterized by
– sympathetic-maintained pain
– related sensory abnormalities
– abnormal blood flow
– abnormalities in the motor system
– and changes in both superficial and deep structures
with trophic changes.
50.
51. Stages
• Stage 1 (acute): Lasts 3 to 6 months.
– burning pain
– diffuse swelling/edema
– exquisite tenderness
– hyperpathia and/or allodynia
– vasomotor changes in hand/fingers (increased nail
and hair growth, hyperthermia or hypothermia,
sweating).
52. Stages
• Stage 2 (dystrophic): Lasts 3 to 6 months
– pain becomes more intense and spreads proximally
– skin/muscle atrophy
– brawny edema
– cold insensitivity
– brittle nails/nail atrophy, decreased ROM,
– mottled skin
– early atrophy, and osteopenia (late)
53. Stages
• Stage 3 (atrophic):
– pain decreases
– trophic changes occur: hand/skin appear pale and
cyanotic with a smooth, shiny appearance, feeling
cool and dry
– bone demineralization progresses with muscula
weakness/atrophy, contractures/flexion
deformities of shoulder/ hand, tapering digits
– no vasomotor changes.
55. Shoulder Subluxation
Treatment
•Shoulder sling use is controversial.
– Pros: may be used when patient ambulates to support extremity (may prevent
upper extremity trauma, which in turn may cause increase pain or predispose
to development of RSD).
– Cons: may encourage contractures in shoulder adduction/internal rotation,
elbow flexion(flexor synergy pattern).
•Other widely used treatments for shoulder subluxation:
– Functional electrical stimulation (FES)
– Arm board, arm trough, lapboard—used in poor upper-extremity recovery,
primary wheelchair users.
– Arm board may overcorrect subluxation.
– Overhead slings—prevents hand edema (may use foam wedge on arm
board).
Uses primitive reflexes to initiate movement and encourages the use of mass patterns in the early stages of motor recovery
Manual guidance is used as a support or for demonstration and, not for providing sensory input
Unwanted activities are limited by choosing an appropriate level of activity.
