Stroke is a common and frequently-occurring disease, which seriously endangers human health. Rehabilitation treatment can effectively reduce the disability rate of stroke and improve the quality of life. The tertiary rehabilitation treatment system for stroke can effectively improve the motor function of stroke patients and improve the quality of life. This paper focuses on the choices and methods of physical therapy and occupational therapy at all levels of the hospitals and in different periods of the disease. It also aims to summarize the tertiary rehabilitation strategy for motor dysfunction in stroke patients, to provide references for all levels of hospitals and communities, achieve standardization and unification of rehabilitation treatment, as well as the rehabilitation efficacy of homogeneity.
Objective To investigate the effect on motility function of remnant esophagus and intrathoracic stomach after esophagectomy for esophageal and cardiac carcinoma. Methods Thirty nine patients with esophageal and cardiac carcinoma were divided into two groups according to surgical procedure. Group of anastomosis above aortic arch （n = 21）： esophagogastrostomy was performed above the aortic arch in patients with esophageal carcinoma of the middle third; group of anastomosis below aortic arch（n= 18）： esophagogastrostomy was performed below the aortic arch in patients with esophageal carcinoma of the low third and cardiac carcinoma. Six health volunteers without gastroesophageal reflux were recruited as control group. Esophageal manometry and upper alimentary tract roentgenography were performed in all patients. Results There was a high pressure zone at the anastomotic orifice in parts of patients of both anastomosis groups. The resting pressure of remnant esophagus was higher than that in control group （P〈0. 05）, and similar to the resting pressure of intrathoracic stomach （P〉0. 05）. There was no significant difference in resting pressure of remnant esophagus and intrathoracic stomach between two anastomosis groups （P〉0.05）. The amplitude and number of primary peristalsis in remnant esophagus of group of anastomosis above aortic arch were significantly reduced in comparison with control group. The number of primary peristalsis in remnant esophagus of group of anastomosis above aortic arch was significantly lower than that of group of anastomosis below aortic arch （P〈0. 05）. The motility in the body of intrathoracic stomach was not observed. Weak motor activity of the gastric antrum was observed with upper alimentary tract roentgenography after surgery and evidently recovered 1 year after surgery. Conclusions The resting pressure of remnant esophagus and intrathoracic stomach is not influenced by the site of anastomosis. Esophagogastric anastomosis at the upper thorax is likely to result in poor motility of remnant esophagus. The motor activity of intrathoracic stomach becomes weak after esophagectomy and then recovers gradually over time, hut still fail to return to normal level.
Motor function was investigated by constant perfusion manometry in the Roux limb of ten patients who had undergone total gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y anastomosis. Results showed that in the fasting state, the migrating motor complex (MMC) was comletely absent, retrograde in direction or bursts of nonphasic pressure activity. Reduced motor activity patterns occurred after the meal in some patients. Four patients failed to convert fasting state into the feeding state. Total gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y anastomoses provakes a relatively severe distubance in motor function, which could contribute to postoperative upper abdominal distress.
Objective To explore whether the effect of cloud rehabilitation system on motor dysfunction and activities of daily living (ADL) of stroke patients is not inferior to hemiplegia manual treatment. Methods This study adopted a multicenter randomized controlled trial design. A total of 118 stroke patients were enrolled from 5 hospitals in China between April 2018 and April 2019, and they were randomly divided into a trial group and a control group, with 59 patients in each group. The trial group adopted hemiplegia manual treatment (≥30 min per time, once a day) and cloud rehabilitation training (30 min per time, once a day), and the control group adopted hemiplegia manual treatment alone (≥30 min per time, twice a day). All patients received continuous treatment for 2 weeks, and followed up for 2 weeks after that. The Brunnstrom stage (BRS), IK exercise stage, and Modified Barthel Index (MBI) were used to evaluate the motor function and ADL before and 4 weeks after treatment. Results There was no significant difference in gender, age, course, hemiplegia side, source (inpatient/outpatient) or hospital grade between the two groups (P>0.05), which were comparable. Compared with those before treatment, there were significant improvements in the BRS (upper and lower extremities), IK exercise stages (upper and lower extremities), and MBI scores in both groups 4 weeks after treatment (P<0.05). The four-week improvements in motor function indicators (BRS and IK) of the trial group were not inferior to those of the control group (P<0.05), and there was no significant difference in MBI score between the two groups 4 weeks after treatment (F=1.498, P>0.05). Conclusion The cloud rehabilitation system is not inferior to hemiplegia manual treatment in improving the limb motor function or ADL of patients .
ObjectiveTo evaluate the differences of visual evoked potentials (amplitudes and latency) between cerebral palsy (CP) children and normal children. MethodsThis study involved fourteen children aged from 4 to 7 years with CP (monoplegia) between 2009 and 2013. Another 14 normal children aged from 5 to 9 years treated in the Department of Ophthalmology in West China Hospital during the same period were regarded as the control group. Both eyes of all the participants were examined by multifocal visual evoked potential (mfVEP). The mfVEP examination results were recorded, and amplitude and latency were analyzed. First, we analyzed the differences of amplitudes and latency time between monoplegia children and children in the control group. Second, gross motor function classification system (GMFCS) was used to classify the fourteen monoplegia children among whom there were five GMFCS Ⅰ patients and nine GMFCS Ⅱ patients. The differences of mfVEP were analyzed between the two GMFCS groups. ResultsThe amplitude and latency of mfVEP in children with CP showed gradual changes similar to those in the normal children. The amplitudes were decreasing and the latencies were delaying from the first eccentricity to the sixth eccentricity. The amplitudes in children with CP were lower than those in the control group in the first to the third eccentricities for both eyes (P＜0.05), and latency of left eye was delayed in the first eccentricity in children with CP (P=0.045). No difference was found between the two GMFCS groups (P>0.05) except the amplitude of the first eccentricity (P=0.043). ConclusionsThe results of mfVEP show significant differences of amplitude and latency between CP and normal children, suggesting the existence of visual pathway impairments in cerebral palsy children. The results of mfVEP can provide an objective basis of visual impairments for cerebral palsy children.
Objective To investigate the effects of highly selective vagotomy plus mucosal antrectomy (HSVMA) and highly selective vagotomy (HSV) alone on the functions of the gastric antrum. MethodsEighteen dogs and 48 patients with chronic duodenal ulcer were tested. The time of gastric emptying, antral myoelectric activity, antral pressure were measured 4-6 months after operation in 18 dogs which were randomized into the control, HSV and HSVMA groups. The gastric evacuation, frequency and amplitude of electrogastrography (EGG) were observed 4-6 months after operation in 48 patients who were randomly divided into HSV (20 patients) and HSVMA (28 patients) group, their preoperative values were considered as control group. ResultsIt was found by barium meal examinations that the shape of the stomach and duodenum was normal and gastric peristalsis was clearly visible in all the animals and patients of two postoperative groups. The beginning and ending time of gastric emptying were (5.0±0.06) min and (4.0±0.4) h respectively in the dogs of HSVMA group, which were similar to those of the dogs of control and HSV group (Pgt;0.05). The frequency of the antral myoelectric action potential was (3.11±0.65 ) cycles/min in the dogs of HSVMA group, the frequency of EGG was (3.25±0.75) cycles/min in the patients of HSVMA group, which were significantly lower than that of the dogs or patients of control and HSV group (P＜0.05). Injection of pentagastrin in dogs or taking meal in patients significantly increased the antral pressure or amplitude of EGG. Conclusion The motor function of the reconstructed antrum in the HSVMA group approaches the normal level despite a lower antral myoelectric frequency. It is believed that HSVMA will be a choice for the treatment of duodenal ulcer.
The bidirectional closed-loop motor imagery brain-computer interface (MI-BCI) is an emerging method for active rehabilitation training of motor dysfunction, extensively tested in both laboratory and clinical settings. However, no standardized method for evaluating its rehabilitation efficacy has been established, and relevant literature remains limited. To facilitate the clinical translation of bidirectional closed-loop MI-BCI, this article first introduced its fundamental principles, reviewed the rehabilitation training cycle and methods for evaluating rehabilitation efficacy, and summarized approaches for evaluating system usability, user satisfaction and usage. Finally, the challenges associated with evaluating the rehabilitation efficacy of bidirectional closed-loop MI-BCI were discussed, aiming to promote its broader adoption and standardization in clinical practice.
