Proposed Definition and Classification of Cerebral Palsy-Understanding Report of International Workshop on Definition and Classification of Cerebral Palsy April 2006

Abstract: Proposed definition of cerebral palsy(CP) is a group of disorders of the development of movement and posture,that are attributed to non-progressive disturbances that occurred in the developing fetal and infant brain. Types of cerebral palsy are divided into spastic(diplegia,hemiplegia,quatriplegia),dyskinetic(athetotic,dystonic),ataxic (simple ataxia,ataxic diplegia),and mixed CP(primarily spasticity with athetosis).

Neurogenic Bowel Management in Adults with Spinal Cord Injury:The American Clinical Practice Guiding

Abstract: The American Clinical Practice Guiding-Neurogenic Bowel Management in Adults with Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) had been prepared based on scientific and professional information known about neurogenic bowel management,its causes,and its treatment,in 1998It will provide reference to China's neurogenic bowel management after SCI in rehabilitation and treatment

International Bowel Function Basic Spinal Cord Injury Data Set

Abstract: The International Bowel Function Basic SCI Data Set is to present a standardized format for the collection and report of a minimal amount of information on bowel function in clinical practice.Furthermore,the Bowel Function Basic SCI Data Set will make it possible to evaluate and compare results from various published studies on bowel dysfunction after SCI.Studying and using the International Bowel Function Basic SCI Data Set will make it possible to improve the evaluation and rehabilitative treatment level of neurogenic bowel dysfunction in China.

Reliability and validity of Chinese Rehabilitation Research Center Standard Aphasia Examination

Abstract: ObjectiveTo investigate the reliability and validity of Chinese Rehabilitation Research Center Standard Aphasia Examination (CRRCAE) among patients with aphasia after cerebral injury. Methods40 patients were measured using the CRRCAE. For reliability, interclass correlation coefficients were analyzed. For validity, the correlation coefficients of the aphasia quotients and 4 items of CRRCAE and Western Aphasia Battery (WAB) were analyzed.ResultsThe interclass correlation coefficients0.9, while the Cronbach α of total scale was 0.9411, the scale of the comprehension was 0.8677,the scale of express was 0.8889. CRRCAE had positive relationship with WAB(with the aphasia quotients, r=0.948,P0.01). The effect size statistics scale was 0.94.ConclusionCRRCAE shows a good retest reliability and good internal consistency. The total scale of CRRCAE can be correlated with serious level of aphasia effectively.

Effect of Taijiquan on Motion Control for Parkinson's Disease at Early Stage

Abstract: Objective To compare the effects of Taijiquan and walk exercise on patients with Parkinson's disease(PD) at early stage.Methods40 PD patients were randomly divided into 2 groups according to the stochastic tables: Taijiquan group(n=20) received Taijiquan exercise,while walk group(n=20) received walk exercise.The course was 4 weeks.UPDRSⅢ from Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale(UPDRS) and Berg Balance Scale(BBS) were to assess the patients before and after treatment.ResultsThe Taijiquan group improved significantly(P0.01) and better than the walk group(P0.01) in UPDRSⅢ,effects and BBS after treatment.ConclusionTaijiquan may improve the motion control and balance function for patients with Parkinson's disease.
