Abstract:
Background/aims Extracorporeal shockwave therapy has been effective in reducing spasticity in patients with spastic cerebral palsy, but there has yet to be a recommended guideline for the treatment of spasticity in children using extracorporeal shockwave therapy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of session frequency of radial extracorporeal shockwave therapy on gastrocnemius muscle spasticity in children with spastic cerebral palsy.

Abstract:
Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia (HSP) is a neurodegenerative disease most commonly caused by autosomal dominant mutations in the SPG4 gene encoding the microtubule-severing protein spastin. We hypothesise that SPG4-HSP is attributable to reduced spastin function because of haploinsufficiency; thus, therapeutic approaches which elevate levels of the wild-type spastin allele may be an effective therapy. However, until now, how spastin levels are regulated is largely unknown. Here, we show that the kinase HIPK2 regulates spastin protein levels in proliferating cells, in differentiated neurons and i

Abstract:
Late muscular responses to transcranial magnetic stimulation occur in healthy subjects only in tonically active muscles with a proportional relationship between the amount of the EMG-response and the voluntary innervation strength. In hemiparetic stroke patients late potentials are elicited in chronically spastic hand flexors without voluntary background muscular activity probably reflecting enhanced excitability of spinal alpha-motoneurons in the spastic state. When spastic muscle hypertonus has been diminished by sustained muscle stretch late EMG-potentials are reduced or have disappeared co

Among the factors contributing to disability after stroke is the most important movement disorder, major clinical manifestation of which is the central spastic paresis. Spasticity is revealed in the study of passive movements of the limbs as increased resistance to muscle in response to its rapid stretching. Once developed spastic paresis usually persists throughout the life of the patient. The treatment of spastic paresis is intractable problem.

Purpose. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of an intensive speech treatment for children with spastic cerebral palsy (CP). Background. Children with spastic CP have speech and voice disorders, which may limit functional communication and negatively impact quality of life. There are limited published outcome data on speech treatment approaches for these children. Recent advances in theories of motor development and behavioral gait and limb treatment provide a solid framework (consistent with theories of motor learning) from which to test different speech treatment concepts (e

For many decades people working with spastic patients have searched for better methods of alleviating spasticity and its debilitating effects. Although many methods have been used, no single method has been completely successful. It was not until the nineteen seventies that Selective Posterior Lumbar Rhizotomy (SPLR) was used successfully with spastic patients. In 1980 Peacock started doing this procedure on a large number of spastic patients in South Africa.

The lower limb electromyographic (EMG) patterns of 5 normal and 8 spastic paretic subjects during walking were compared.

In another study, the normally phase-dependent modulation of the soleus H-reflex during walking was found to be decreased or absent in 21 spastic paretic subjects, suggesting the possibility of defective reflex gating mechanisms.
