into older adults with amnestic MCI, a more common sub-classification with a higher risk of progressing to AD, and their relation to physical performance and executive function. Subjects in this study performed four tests including calculating their gait speed, a Timed Up and Go (TUG) Test, the Trail Making Test part B (TMT-B), and the Stroop Word Color Test. Results indicated that a slower walking pace paired with a lower performance on the TMT-B, which looked for mental flexibility, and a…

Gait assessment demonstrates the patient could walk 40 feet with front-wheel walker with CAM boot on with only standby assistance. The patient did have difficulty during gait assessment when having to perform turning maneuvers due to knee pain. The patient's straight line walking was good. The patient's left ankle measured +2 degrees…

A review of his medical record indicates a history of CHF, toxic metabolic encephalopathy, CKD stage 3, bilateral pleural effusion, generalized weakness, HTN, severe debility, impaired gait, functional deficits, actinic keratosis, adjustment disorder with depressed mood, Alzheimer’s dementia disease with late onset with behavioral disturbance, atherosclerotic heart disease of native coronary artery without angina pectoris, lymphedema, not elsewhere classified, mixed hyperlipidemia and muscle…

Video gait analysis is used to identify any biomechanical issues to be able to clearly and precisely to explain them to the patient and any other involved health practitioners. Depending on the diagnosis, soft tissue therapy, orthotics, shoe modifications, dry needling, stretching/strengthening programs and gait re-training may be prescribed. Nail and Skin Problems in the…

Strengthening exercises increases a person health as a whole through enable the body to perform the optimal functions without pain and stress-free. Cerebral palsy children are characterized by movements impairments and postural disorders. Moreover, they have difficulties with activities of daily living (ADL’s) due to muscles weakness, incoordination, and motor control impairments. Strengthening exercises are significant for people with CP throughout their life from childhood to adults.…

pain, numbness in the fingers, joint discomfort, vision problems, and high blood pressure. The evidence in file shows the claimant suffered a cerebrovascular accident (CVA) on 10/15/15, which resulted in left sided body weakness, slurred speech and gait ataxia. The brain MRI on 10/15/15 indicated a right pontine ischemic CVA and left cerebellar with suspected significant vertebral artery stenosis. The CT scan revealed documented hemodynamically significant lesion of the extracranial or…

Unusual gait or inability to perform ADLs may result from a balance or coordination problem, which may indicate a neurological disorder (Jenson, 2015). We can assess it by ask the patient: Do you have any difficulties maintaining balances? How did you fall recently? We may also have the patient stand by ne foot and walk to assess the balance and body gait. There are some expected abnormal finding For Mrs. Runningbird base on her…

The basal ganglia are a group of nuclei that act as a cohesive functional unit, and are located at the base of the forebrain. The basal ganglia have strong connections with the cerebral cortex, thalamus, and other areas of the brain like the supplemental premotor cortex. The basal ganglia are associated with a variety of functions, which include voluntary motor control, procedural learning, eye movements, and even emotional functions. Among its many essential functions, one of its most vital…

magnitude of the ground reaction force. For instance, a runner sprinting from a standstill. Throughout the initial phase of acceleration, the body is inclined forward and therefore the center of gravity falls in front of the contact surface. After many gait cycles, the runner reaches top speed and their center of mass then moves backward. A participant who tried to accelerate with their body upright would tumble backwards as a result of the direction of the ground reaction force.12 The further…
