Background. Balance dysfunction related to lateral instability has been associated with falls and fall-related injuries among older individuals. Protective stepping for dynamic balance recovery requires the effective control of body motion. This study investigated relationship between aging, falls, stability during forward-induced recovery.
Background. Falls related to balance dysfunction are among the major problems of older individuals. The timing characteristics protective voluntary stepping critically effective recovery and often delayed slowed with age. This study investigated influence step training on initiation in younger adults.
Background and Purpose. The purposes of this study were (1) to examine the position displacement in frontal plane body's center mass (CM) with respect base support during single-leg flexion movements adults hemiplegia (2) their relationship other clinical scores. Subjects. Fourteen ambulatory adult volunteers hemiparesis right side body due cerebrovascular accident participated study. Metbods. Subjects performed paretic nonparetic limbs while standing on two separate force platforms. Motion...
Standing subjects were unexpectedly pulled forward to identify a threshold boundary that evokes stepping in terms of the size pull relative base support (BoS). Performances range sensorimotor tests correlated with parameters. Younger and older studied age-related changes boundaries. The had limit (T L ) that, when crossed, always made step no matter how slowly they pulled. As velocity increased, position produced shifted nearer ankles. Eventually was reached above which further effect H...
The APTA recently established a vision for physical therapists to transform society by optimizing movement promote health and wellness, mitigate impairments, prevent disability. An important element of this entails the integration system into profession, necessitates development diagnoses therapists. At point in time, profession as whole has not agreed upon diagnostic classifications or guidelines assist developing that will consistently capture an individual's problems. We propose that,...
The American Physical Therapy Association's Vision Statement of 2013 asserts that physical therapists optimize movement in order to improve the human experience. In accordance with this vision, strive be recognized as experts analysis. However, there continues no accepted method conduct analysis, nor an agreement key terminology describe observations. As a result, Academy Neurologic organized task force was charged advancing state practice respect these issues, including development proposed...
This case report describes a person with upper-extremity (UE) hemiparesis who participated in home program that included sensory amplitude electrical stimulation (SES) to his involved arm and performance of task-specific exercises the assistance neuromuscular (NMES).The patient was 67-year-old man stable motor deficits 5 years after stroke. Sensory delivered for 2 hours per day. A daily, 15-minute course NMES used help him perform UE tasks. carried out 18 weeks 6 physical therapist...
Objective: To examine the effects of a home-based arm exercise programme sensory and motor amplitude electrical stimulation. Design: Non-concurrent, multiple-baseline, single-subject design. Subjects: Ten adults with chronic hemiparesis following stroke. Subjects ranged in age from 38 to 74 years were 2-16 post Three subjects had right-sided involvement; seven left. Intervention: completed an eight-week, individualized, home neuromuscular All engaged stimulation-assisted task-specific...
The movement system was identified as the focus of our expertise physical therapists in revised vision statement for profession adopted by American Physical Therapy Association 2013. Attaining success with profession's requires development diagnoses that will be useful clinical practice, research, and education. To date, only a few have been described, none these specifically address balance dysfunction. Over past 2 years, Balance Diagnosis Task Force, subgroup Movement System Force Academy...
Background: Sensory amplitude electrical stimulation (SES) and repetitive task practice reduce impairments arm dysfunction when delivered separately following stroke. Objective: To determine if home-based, task-specific exercise was more effective administered concurrent with SES. Methods: Thirty-eight subjects chronic stroke mean Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) score 28/66 (15–45) participated. Subjects were randomly assigned to an SES ( n = 20) or sham 18) group. engaged in task-based home for...
Hedman LD, Sullivan JE, Hilliard MJ, Brown DM: Neuromuscular electrical stimulation during task-oriented exercise improves proximal arm dysfunction after stroke. Am J Phys Med Rehabil 2007;86:592–596. This case report examined the effectiveness of a home program using neuromuscular (NMES) voluntary to achieve functional and impairment improvements for an individual with primarily paresis The subject initially achieved Fugl–Meyer Assessment (FMA) score 58/66, but she reported minimal use her...
Bipedal locomotor control requirements may be useful as classifications for walking dysfunction because they go beyond gait analysis to address all issues contributing dysfunction.The objective of this study was determine whether experts could achieve consensus about the bipedal locomotion.Locomotor from physical therapy and other related professions participated in an electronic mail Delphi survey. Experts recommended additions, deletions, rewording, merges 15 proposed round 1. In rounds 2...

Objective: To explore the viability of perceptual threshold test using electrical stimulation to measure light touch sensation in hands stroke survivors. Design: Descriptive study. Setting: University research laboratory. Subjects: Twenty-nine adult community-dwelling chronic Main measure(s): Perceptual stimulation, rehabilitation assessment movement, Nottingham sensory for stereognosis, action arm test, Fugl-Meyer and motor activity log 14. Results: mean values were 1.23 (0.6) milliamperes...
