Hemiplegia Hayam Mahmoud Mahmoud By: Prof .Dr. By: Prof .Dr. Hayam Professor of P.T. for Neurological & Neurosurgical Disorders Coordinator of Faculty of Applied Medical Science- UQU.
Hemiplegia Definition of hemiplegia: paralysis of one side of the body due to pyramidal tract lesion at any point from its origin in cerebral cortex to the 5th cervical segment. Stroke or cerebrovascular accident (CVA) is hemiplegia due to vascular cause, results in sudden, specific neurological deficits.
Hemiplegia Stroke patients have a variety of motor, sensory, cognitive, perceptual, psychological, social, and functional disabilities. Problems of motor performance in stroke patients are complex and varied. The outcome after stroke is dependent on the site, the extent and the cause of the brain damage as well as the patient age.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has defined stroke (CVA) as: rapidly developing clinical signs of focal disturbance of cerebral function. It lasting more than 24 hours or leading to death with no apparent cause other than that of vascular origin .
*Rehabilitation should begin as soon as the patient is medically stable: Which optimizes the patients potential for functional recovery .Physiotherapy is a major component of rehabilitation for stroke patients and has statistically positive effect on functional outcome.
There are many therapeutic approaches in treating and assessing the motor dysfunction and functional disabilities in individuals with hemiplegia due to stroke
Stroke rehabilitation Stroke rehabilitation; it includes; 1-Assessment 2-planning 1-Assessment The same assessment of neurological sheet: 2-planning Different approaches for management of hemiplegic patient include the Bobath approach, developed by Karl and Berta Bobath. Brunnstrom's approach, developed by Brunnstrom,. Motor relearning program developed by Carr and Shepherd
