Patellar tendon vibration reduces the increased facilitation from quadriceps to soleus in post-stroke hemiparetic individuals
Conclusions Patellar tendon vibration can reduce the facilitation between knee and ankle extensors, which suggests effective presynaptic inhibition but decreased post-activation depression in the lower limb of people after chronic hemiparetic stroke. Further studies are warranted to determine whether such vibration could be used to reduce the abnormal extension synergy of knee and ankle extensors in people after hemiparetic stroke.

Partners of the speech therapist in management of swallowing disorders; establishment of an interdisciplinary project
Publication date: September 2015 Source:Annals of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine, Volume 58, Supplement 1 Author(s): J. Legrand, M. Pascal, A. Chauvy, L. Wallart, B. Pollez, V. Hamon, D. Brière During the first three months after a stroke, healthcare teams are confronted to feeding problems such as swallowing disorders. Many studies have revealed that 91% of patients suffer from lating swallowing reflex (AHCPR, 1999; Veis and Logemann, 1985). Assessment and management are available in the acute care but are unknown later and in consequence not applied during the rehabilitation. However, the continuity of ca...

Assessment of sexual function in women with neurological disorders: A review
Conclusion Despite high prevalence rates and important clinical implications, sexual dysfunction is not systematically assessed in women presenting various neurological conditions. Several well-validated tools exist for such assessments, which could be used for sexual rehabilitation in these patients. The implementation of systematic assessments of sexual potential is feasible and renewed efforts should be made to do so in clinical practice.
