1.Rehabilitation with body weight support treadmill training of hemiplegia and paraplegia
Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2001;7(1):1-3
Body weight support treadmill training (BWSTT) is introduced in this paper as a new rehabilitation training approach, which is effective for hemiplegic and paraplegic patients. The appraisals of the famous foreign experts in rehabilitation for BWSTT are also reviewed.
2.Noradrenergic Drugs in Cerebral Infarction and Rehabilitation Therapy
Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 1998;4(1):1-6
The efficacy of physical therapy for cerebral infarction is outstanding. This paper is to introduce that if physical therapy is combined with NA-gic drug-d-amphetamine,the latter will promote recovery of motor function in stroke patients. D-amphetamine can also enhance recovery from aphasia and poor motivation syndrome in patients after ischemic stroke. The recovery of hemiplegia in strok patient after treatment of d-amphetamine is proposed owing to dispel inhibition in the contralateral cerebellar hemisphere. This corresponds to the concept of diachisis.
7.Drug Rehabilitation for Motor Function after Brain Injury
Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2007;13(1):8-9
Motor function is the main function of human being takes place the social activities in the world. Unfortunately, regardless of either CNS or PNS injury, the outcome usually is paralysis. Up to date there is still no drug may restore the function of paralyzed limbs rapidly, completely and satisfactorily. However, the scientist have used drugs to enhance motor function recovery after brain injury and got some effects since the mid of past century, e.g. the amphetamine. The function of amphetamine, notwithstanding was denied by Veterans Affairs/Department of Defense Clinical Practice Guideline for the Management of Adult Stroke Rehabilitation Care in 2005, however, there were other reports concerning with same purpose study, that may facilitate the recovery of motor function, e.g. Fluoxetine, Selegiline, L-dopa and so on. In the meantime, there also found some drugs with opposite effect and slowing the functional recovery, e.g., Haloperidol, Prazosin, Phenytoin and so forth.
8.Rehabilitation Pharmacology of Cognitive Impairment after Brain Injury
Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2007;13(1):10-15
The cognitive function of brain is very comprehensive, memory and attention are their constituent. How to enhance the recovery of cognition after injury of brain now is the important duty of rehabilitation pharmacology. This paper will introduce the common drugs which may facilitate the recovery of memory, attention after injury of the brain.
9.Drug Rehabilitation of Emotion Disorders after Brain Injury
Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2007;13(1):16-22
Agitation, aggression and depression are frequent neurobehavioral sequalae after injury of brain. These behavioural symptoms disrupted patient care and impede rehabilitation effort. In severe cases, the patient even hurts others and sometime injuries himself. This article introduces the use of antipsychotics, mood stablizing, lithium, antianxiety medication and antidepressants especially the SSRIs for the emotion disturbance after injury of brain. Meantime, paper describes the 5-HT syndrome, withdrawal 5-HT syndrome, the neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS). The later is owing to wrong use of phenothiazines and butyrophenones. The mortality of NMS is about 25%, if case treats is not correct.
