Fugl Meyer Assessment

1463 Words6 Pages

Background : Motor dysfunction is one of the most frequent after stroke problem closely related to limited mobility function. One of the tools to assess the scale of motor impairment is is the Fugl Meyer Assessment (FMA), whereas the recommended test to measure the mobilility function is the Timed up and Go Test (TUG). The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between physical performance based on FMA and mobility function ability based on TUG in ischemic stroke outpatients. Material and Method : This is a cross-sectional study conducted on 38 ischemic stroke outpatients. Subjects were assessed with FMA and TUG. Result : Relationship between the total score of the FMA and TUG scores, at p = 0,004 (p < 0,05) obtained a coefficient …show more content…

The 155 assessment items of FMA is designed to evaluate the improvement of physical function in stroke patients, whereas the recommended test to measure mobility function is the Timed Up and Go Test (TUG), which has been widely used in stroke patients. Timed Up and Go Test (TUG) activity measured simultaneously and in execution time is calculated, a score refers to the limited mobility function (Sanford et al, 1993; Hershkovitz and Brill, 2006; Faria et al, 2012). Therefore, it is hypothesized that physical performance (based on Fugl Meyer Assessment) has inverse correlation with mobility function (based on Timed Up and Go Test) in ischemic stroke outpatient, and conducted the present study to know if there is a relationship between physical performance (based on Fugl Meyer Assessment) and mobility function (based on Timed Up and Go Test) in ischemic stroke outpatients. The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between physical performance based on FMA and mobility function ability based on TUG in ischemic stroke outpatients. Materials and …show more content…

The trend of relationship between FMA total score with TUG score Discussion There were 38 subjects who fulfill the inclusion criteria, consisted of 25 (65,8%) male and 13 (34,2%) female, it was accordance with Chih-Ying Wu and friend on March, 2007 – August, 2008 from 1161 patients at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital Taiwan, it obtained the incidence of stroke in men (63,4%) were higher than women (36,6%) (Moon et al, 2013). The results of relationship between Upper Extremity (UE) motor score with a score of TUG reflecting no relationship between it. It was because the TUG had a mainly used to evaluated mobility function ability. The study by Michelle in 2006 on 512 patients determined that UE motor score had a highest level with Action Research Arm Test score (Woodbury, 2006). Lower extremity (LE) motor score has a relationship with TUG score. Manaf et al in 2014 on 30 patients stroke found there was a relationship between LE motor score with TUG score. Previous study by Kligyte et al in 2003 on 33 subjects also found LE muscles strength has a relationship between TUG score based on level relationship (Manaf et al, 2014; Kligyte et al, 2003). Limitations of the

First was the Manual Muscle Testing on both the right and left arms. As expected for her left side, most of her muscles scored in the poor range, however, her right side she had difficulty in her pectoralis muscles extending her arm upward and outward. Finally, the grip and pinch strength test showed that her left hand has no strength in it, but her right hand scored

Thank you for your time and interest regarding my post on Bobath. In the same corollary, systemic review of RCTs in 2009 done by Kollen et al covering seven domains (sensorimotor control of the upper and lower limb; sitting and standing balance control and dexterity; mobility; ADLs; health quality of life and cost effectiveness) concluded that there is no evidence that Bobath treatment is superior to other treatments but the study went further, stating that there was no evidence that any other treatment was superior to Bobath either. Also, a more recent Cochrane Collaboration systemic review on April 2014 concluded that no one physical therapy method was more effective than any other approach in treatment of patients with stroke (Pollock

Book report Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the United States. Each year, approximately 795,000 people suffer from a stroke. Stroke is the leading cause of serious, long term disability in the United States. Stroke requires a medical diagnosis because there are different types that affects the brain. The two different but most common types of stroke are ischemic stroke which is caused by a clot in the artery, and the hemorrhagic stroke which is caused by bleeding from an artery rupture.

Before treatment there was significant affection in motor function of the upper extremity performance in the three groups. This comes in agreement with Sutcliffe et al. [21] who reported that impaired hand function is a major debilitating factor for the performance of activities of daily living in hemiplegic CP. The impairment of the hand is often the result of damage to the motor cortex and cortico spinal pathways responsible for the fine motor control of the hand and fingers. As a result,

Outline I. The call for a new paradigm – establishment of a new theoretical rationale derived from medicine for occupational therapy in the late 1940s and 1950s; resulted from criticism by the medicine field. II. The mechanistic paradigm- occupational therapy transitioned to a new focus on inner mechanisms, new rationale from the medicine perspective; which earned the field an increase in scientific respectability and recognition as an effective medical service.

A night of smog, cold, and darkness, stars hidden, left people shut inside under quilts and rags in an old town on the river Hooghly, opposite of Calcutta, the city of palaces, processions, of film makers, artists, artistes, and poets. This town experienced in its innumerable, snaky, sleazy, lanes, the trilling of draughts, drifted from the North. No dogs, no drunks, there in the streets, dimly lit with streetlamps in great gaps between one and the other, just looked a place, derelict, as after a battle fought and lost, and as if surreal. At the bank of the river, on the extreme east, the sprawled vast stretch looked the most uncaring for, with a mass of trees, some of which deciduous, some still green, and thick with foliage, having underneath,
