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. 10/11/15 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. 10/11/15 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. 10/11/15 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. 10/11/15 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. 10/11/15 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. 10/11/15 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. 10/11/15 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. 10/11/15 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. 10/11/15 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.
