Problems with hemiplegia

Shoulder pain, sublux, complex regional pain syndrome

Support and protection of GH joint

Joint capsule, ligaments, nonactive muscles

Causes of shoulder subluxation

Gravity- dependent position


Paralysis or severe muscle weakness- supraspinatus and deltoid

Sublux and pain

Uncertain if sublux causes pain

Shoulder pain in six months

Resolved in 80% of pts

Shoulder pain major causes

Spasticity, muscle weakness, adaptive structural changes, neglect, trauma

Spasticity and shoulder pain

Alone- may or may not contribute


Causes IR and adduction


Association

Adaptive structural changes and shoulder pain

Associated with loss of ER and flexion ROM


Usually found in shoulder IR/add, elbow flex, forearm pronation, and wrist/finger flex


Care should be taken in acute stage to prevent degenerative changes

CVA tears and tendinopathies

35% at least one year in bicep, rot cuff or delt


53% at least tendinopathy in rot cuff, biceps or delt or combo

Muscle weakness and shoulder pain

Flaccid stage significantly related to shoulder pain

Spasticity/neglect and shoulder pain

Not different between those with or without pain

Trauma and shoulder pain

Lifting pt by arm, PROM, impingement

CRPS prevalence

39-46% in post stroke

CRPS characters

Numerous peripheral changes and CNS changes without obvious nerve injury


-vasomotor tone


-tenderness


-protective immobility


-trophic skin changes

CRPS causes and symptoms

Unknown causes


Symptoms


Stage 1- shoulder pain, painful edema in wrist/hand, loss of mobility (claw hand)


Stage 2- dystrophic changes, PIP & DIP enlarged and stiff


Stage 3- soft tissue dystrophy, frozen shoulder, lost hand mobility


Cannot skip stages, once lost hand mobility-wont get it back

CRPS management

Good positioning, avoid trauma, PROM, AROM, Estim, mirror therapy, mental practice, CIMT

Evidence for CRPS intervention

Conflicting in acute CVA


Strong with mCIMT in acute/subacute CVA and compared to traditional in chronic CVA


CIMT- with some active wrist/hand mvmts


Glutamate post stroke

Excitotoxicity

Changes distant to infarct

Cortical depression


Neuronal hyperexcitability- from deafferentation of inhibitory neurons

Recovery of fxn post stroke

Neural plasticity


3 acute overlapping stages


-reversal of diaschisis


-cell genesis and repair, alter pathways


-formation of new connections


"Relearning process" that can extend many years post CVA

Cell Genesis location

Dentate gyrus of hippocampus


Subventricular zone

Drivers of neuroplasticity

Changes in behavioral, sensory, and cognitive experiences


Adaptive or maladaptive

Vestibulocerebellum

Flocculonodular lobe


Controls balance and she mvmts


Inputs- semi canals and otoliths


Output- vestib nuclei


Lesion- increased postural sway, impaired balance, staggering gait, nystagmus, difficulty coordinating mvmts of head and eyes

Spinocerebellum

Central ant and post lobes- vermis and intermediate hemis


Control ongoing execution of mvmts


Inputs- spinal cord, 3 sensory systems


Connects to motor cortex


Regulates load variations


Ongoing vs intended mvmts


Regulate muscle tone


Lesion- inability to adapt to changing environment, inappropriate amplitude of muscle force and timing muscle activation for situation, hypotonia

Cerebrocerebellum

Lateral parts


Feed forward, agonist/antagonist, coordination to visual target


Lesion- problems with mvmt preparation, delays in initiation and timing, dysmetria, mvmt decomposition

Cerebellum in motor learning

Procedural learning, adaptation, mental practice, shifts in sensory focus

Friedreich's ataxia

Early onset 8-15yo


Autosomal recessive


Degeneration of ascending and descending fibers of spinal cord


60% develop cardiomyopathy


Ataxic gait, motor restless, loss of DTRs, muscle atrophy, dysarthria, nystagmus, saccidc eye mvmts, unable to suppress VOR, loss of vibr and position sense, diminished LT P and T distally, scoliosis, Pes cavus


95% wheelchair by 45yo


Death mid 30s

Olivopontocerebellar atrophy

Degeneration of inferior olives, pons, cerebellum


3rd-5th decade of life


Starts with cerebellar syndrome


Parkinsonian features, dementia

Cerebellar dysfxn signs

Unilateral lesion with ipsilateral affects


Dysmetria, mvmt decomposition, dysdiadochokinesia, tremor, hypotonia, gait disturbances, speech disturbances, eye mvmt disturbances, nystagmus

International cooperative ataxia rating scale (ICARS)

Walking capacities, gait speed, base of support, body sway, CTSIB, sitting balance

Aphasia in pts with stroke

23-40%

Paraphasic speech

Substitution of words or sounds in words


Literal- bat for hat


Semantic- bat for ball

Neologism

Made up word

Jargon

Real words and made up words in a sentence without real context

Perseveration

Repetition of a stimulus that is no longer correct

Stereotypy

Repeated utterances that carry little or no meaning

Dysprosody

Disturbance of stress, timing, and melody of speech

Fluent aphasia

Flowing speech with many errors


Poor comprehension
