Effectiveness of Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy on Controlling Spasticity in Cerebral Palsy Patients
Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) has been suggested as an alternative treatment for reducing spasticity in patients with cerebral palsy (CP). However, the duration of its effect was rarely known. A meta-analysis was performed to investigate the effectiveness of ESWT at controlling spasticity in patients with CP according to the follow-up period. We included studies in which ESWT was used to manage spasticity in patients with CP, and the ef…
The Quality, Reliability, and Accuracy of Videos Regarding Exercises and Management for Dysphagia in Pediatric Populations Uploaded on YouTube
Objectives: YouTube is well known for providing easy access to various kinds of video content. In this study, we investigated the quality and reliability of videos on YouTube addressing exercise or dysphagia management in the pediatric population. Methods: Video quality and reliability were assessed by using the Global Quality Scale (GQS) and a modified DISCERN tool, respectively. The accuracy of the information in each video was also evaluated. …
Improvement of Gait Dysfunction after Applying a Hinged Ankle–Foot Orthosis in a Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy Patient with Disrupted Medial Lemniscus
We describe the successful application of hinged ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs) in a cerebral palsied (CP) patient with gait instability due to a disrupted medial lemniscus (ML). The patient was a 27-month-old male CP child with gait instability who presented with reduced knee flexion and ankle dorsiflexion, with severe genu recurvatum on his right lower extremity during gait. The patient had no motor weakness or spasticity. Conventional magnetic res…
Successful Application of an Insole with a Metatarsal Inhibition Bar and Deep Heel Cup for Improving Gait Dysfunction in a Patient with Poor Coordination with Disrupted Corticoreticular Tracts
We report the successful management of gait dysfunction in a patient with coordination problems using an insole with a metatarsal inhibition bar (MIB) and a deep heel cup. Furthermore, we investigated the state of the neural tracts via diffusion tensor tractography (DTT). A 23-month-old boy with gait dysfunction presented with toe walking with a wide base and decreased hip flexion. Motor weakness or spasticity was not observed. Conventional brain…
A Child Who Suddenly Freezes While Trying to Cross Crosswalks—Unique Clinical Manifestation of Paroxysmal Kinesigenic Dyskinesia
(1) Background: We report the case of a patient with a unique clinical presentation of inability to cross crosswalks due to paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia (PKD). (2) Case presentation: A 14-year-old boy presented with the inability to move his right leg at gait initiation from the standing position. This episode lasted for approximately 20-30 s and manifested 1-3 times a day. The difficulty in gait initiation usually occurred when the patient …
The Mental Health Burden of the Covid-19 Pandemic on Physical Therapists
We evaluated the mental health burden of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) on physical therapists, including their stress and anxiety levels, who were at risk of developing psychological distress and other mental health symptoms. A questionnaire survey was conducted with physical therapists of three university hospitals in South Korea on 10 April 2020. The questionnaires evaluated the presence of anxiety and depression in the respondents. Among the …
