Wheelchairs (Wheel Chair)

12/01/2012 - "We have shown the interplay between shoulder elbow and spine with pain, age of patients and type of wheel chair utilized. "
05/01/2011 - "In this report is presented a case of 22 years old man indicated four years of progressive generalized pain and weakness, eventually becoming wheel-chair bound. "
09/01/2009 - "On presentation, she had significant fracture site pain and generalized bone pain (weight bearing and non-weight bearing) - making her walker dependent at home and wheel chair dependent outside home.She"
01/01/1997 - "The results were satisfactory: nursing was greatly facilitated and pain during nursing care and toilet disappeared, the patients could again seat in a wheel chair. "

08/01/2005 - "Though cardiac involvement is a frequent finding in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) at the wheel-chair-bound stage, left ventricular hypertrabeculation (LVHT) has not been reported. "
01/01/1991 - "So far there is no causal treatment for Duchenne muscular dystrophy up to now, it has been proven, however, that its course can be considerably improved by an early contracture-prophylactic operation of both lower limbs--mostly between age 4 and 6 years--as well as by a surgical stabilization of the spine before any progressive scoliosis appears, that is at the very beginning of the wheel-chair stage: Walking and standing ability can be prolonged for several years and a significant scoliosis can be avoided. "
03/01/1997 - "Patients suffering from the most frequent muscle disorders Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and spinal muscular atrophies (SMA), who ceased walking respectively are confined from the outset to the wheel-chair, are developing commonly a progressive scoliosis (collapsing spine) due to an increasing muscle weakness. "

12/01/1993 - "She was significantly small for her age weight 12.3 kg and lived on a wheel-chair because of flexion contracture of the extremities. "
01/01/1991 - "So far there is no causal treatment for Duchenne muscular dystrophy up to now, it has been proven, however, that its course can be considerably improved by an early contracture-prophylactic operation of both lower limbs--mostly between age 4 and 6 years--as well as by a surgical stabilization of the spine before any progressive scoliosis appears, that is at the very beginning of the wheel-chair stage: Walking and standing ability can be prolonged for several years and a significant scoliosis can be avoided. "
02/01/1998 - "Contractures are exceedingly common impairments in selected progressive NMD conditions, particularly those with excessive fibrosis and fatty infiltration into muscle (i.e., dystrophic myopathies) and more severe NMD conditions, resulting in significant weakness and wheel-chair reliance, such as SMA. "

03/01/1997 - "The exclusive use of so-called "anatomic sitting supports" in the wheel-chair in order to treat or prevent a progressive scoliosis in DMD or SMA is absolutely to be rejected. "
01/01/1991 - "So far there is no causal treatment for Duchenne muscular dystrophy up to now, it has been proven, however, that its course can be considerably improved by an early contracture-prophylactic operation of both lower limbs--mostly between age 4 and 6 years--as well as by a surgical stabilization of the spine before any progressive scoliosis appears, that is at the very beginning of the wheel-chair stage: Walking and standing ability can be prolonged for several years and a significant scoliosis can be avoided.

"

05/01/1995 - "Neurological disability index (Dyken) improved from 70% to 10%; speech and higher cerebral functions improved from aphasia and almost vegetative states to verbal communicable level; motor dysfunction from bedridden to wheel chair level; and myoclonic and other seizures were controlled.
