Ulnar Nerve Injury

Complications of peripheral nerve injury arising from the surgical treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome are not uncommon. No documented report of the association of ulnar nerve injury with carpal tunnel decompression has been found. This case-study describes partial laceration of the ulnar nerve as a complication of carpal tunnel surgery and reviews the literature on this subject.

Copy Strategy

Arm amputees can experience the perception of movement of a phantom limb while looking at a mirror reflection of the moving, intact arm superimposed on the perceived phantom. Such use of a mirror to provide illusory visual feedback of move ment can be useful in rehabilitation of hemiparetic patients. In this case report, we de scribe the successful application of "mirror therapy" to the post-stroke rehabilitation of a patient with poor functional use of an upper extremity, due mainly to so matosensory deficits. Mirror therapy facilitated employment of a motor copy strategy (bimanual movements) and later progression to "forced use" of the affected arm. The end result was increased functional use of the affected upper limb.

Significant Difference

Background: Stroke is a health problem for both developed and developing countries, including Indonesia. Paralysis in stroke is mainly due to damage to the internal capsule. This damage requires neuroplasticity involving a number of parts of the brain to restore. One therapy that is beneficial for neuroplasticity is Mirror Therapy (MT). MT is a rehabilitation tool that aims to restore some of the pathological conditions in which the body representation is affected, including post-stroke motor impairment. Methods: This research is a quantitative pre-experimental design with the type one group pretest-postest. The research subjects were 15 post-stroke patients in residency of Semarang. Research data were collected in August-September 2020. Sample selection with  purposive sampling technique who conform inclusion criteria. The Fulg-Meyer Upper Extremity Assessment (FMA-UE) as an aoutcame measure that be avowed valid and reliabel. Data analysis using Paired Sample T-Test because of normally distributed. Results: Statistically the results represent a significant difference in the UE  motor ability of post-stroke patients between baseline and after mirror therapy intervention, with a mean difference (5,14) and p value =  0.000  (ρ < 0,05). Application  of MT effect on upper extremity motor recovery in post-stroke patients. Conclusions: MT program is an effective intervention for UE motor recovery and motor function improvement in post- stroke patients. MT program can be used as a standardized of hand rehabilitation intervention in hospital, clinics and homes.

Type Of Injury

Injury to the peripheral nerve affects the whole length of the neuron and is not just localized to the site of injury, making a nerve injury different from other types of tissue injury in the body. Moreover, a nerve injury has immediate functional consequences for the brain in terms of rapid cortical functional reorganization. Lifelong limitations of hand function with loss of sensibility, muscle weakness, prehensile problems, pain, and cold sensitivity are common. Recovery can take years in adults, especially of tactile discrimination, but often remains incomplete and quality of life may be significantly affected. Numerous factors influence the outcome: age, type of injury, timing of surgery, and cognitive capacity. In addition, education, sex, and post-traumatic stress have proved to be prognostic factors. The timing of hand rehabilitation including sensory and motor re-education are also important contributors to the final outcome.
