Joint contractures and acquired deforming hypertonia in older people: Which determinants?
Publication date: Available online 8 December 2018Source: Annals of Physical and Rehabilitation MedicineAuthor(s): Patrick Dehail, Nathaly Gaudreault, Haodong Zhou, Véronique Cressot, Anne Martineau, Julie Kirouac-Laplante, Guy TrudelAbstractJoint contractures and acquired deforming hypertonia are frequent in dependent older people. The consequences of these conditions can be significant for activities of daily living as well as comfort and quality of life. They can also negatively affect the burden of care and care costs. However, etiological factors and pathophysiologic mechanisms remain only partly understood. As a res...

The neurophysiology of deforming spastic paresis: a revised taxonomy
Publication date: Available online 28 November 2018Source: Annals of Physical and Rehabilitation MedicineAuthor(s): Marjolaine Baude, Jens Bo Nielsen, Jean-Michel GraciesAbstractThis paper revisits the taxonomy of the neurophysiological consequences of a persistent impairment of motor command execution in the classic environment of sensorimotor restriction and muscle hypo-mobilization in short position. Around each joint, the syndrome involves 2 disorders, muscular and neurologic. The muscular disorder is promoted by muscle hypo-mobilization in short position in the context of paresis, in the hours and days after paresis o...

Does acupuncture help patients with spasticity? A narrative review
Publication date: Available online 5 November 2018Source: Annals of Physical and Rehabilitation MedicineAuthor(s): Yi Zhu, Yujie Yang, Jianan LiAbstractSpasticity is a motor disorder encountered after upper motor neuron lesions. It adversely affects quality of life in most patients and causes long-term burden of care and has significant financial implications. The effect of conventional therapies for spasticity including physical therapy, surgery, and pharmacotherapy are not always satisfying because of the short-term effects or side effects in some patients. Acupuncture is a part of traditional medicine originating from C...

Interplay between hypoactivity, muscle properties and motor command: How to escape the vicious deconditioning circle?
Publication date: Available online 27 October 2018Source: Annals of Physical and Rehabilitation MedicineAuthor(s): Marie-Hélène Canu, Julie Fourneau, Jacques-Olivier Coq, Luc Dannhoffer, Caroline Cieniewski-Bernard, Laurence Stevens, Bruno Bastide, Erwan DupontAbstractActivity-dependent processes addressing the central nervous system (CNS) and musculoskeletal structures are critical for maintaining motor performance. Chronic reduction in activity, whether due to a sedentary lifestyle or extended bed rest, results in impaired performance in motor tasks and thus decreased quality of life. In the first part of this paper, w...

Psychological interventions in multiple sclerosis: Improving cognition and quality of life
Publication date: Available online 25 October 2018Source: Annals of Physical and Rehabilitation MedicineAuthor(s): Caroline Harand, Gilles DeferAbstractMultiple sclerosis is often associated with impaired cognitive functioning, of mainly attention, information processing speed, executive functions and memory. Cognitive alterations have direct functional consequences for quality of life, ranging from occupational activities to personal life and professional career. Additionally, there is a complex interplay between cognitive impairment and affective functions, such as depression or anxiety, which in turn has a negative impa...

Comparison between the STarT Back Screening Tool and the Örebro Musculoskeletal Pain Screening Questionnaire: Which tool for what purpose? A semi-systematic review
Publication date: Available online 19 October 2018Source: Annals of Physical and Rehabilitation MedicineAuthor(s): Alexis Lheureux, Anne BerquinAbstractThis semi-systematic review compared 2 prognostic questionnaires about back pain (STarT Back Screening Tool and Örebro Musculoskeletal Pain Screening Questionnaire) in terms of prognostic power and clinical aims, to guide the healthcare provider in choosing a questionnaire. By its large inclusion criteria, our study is the broadest on the topic. Although the 2 questionnaires present good and equivalent predictive power, we highlight important differences between them in cl...
