AbstractBackgroundCerebral fat embolism (CFE) syndrome at high altitude was rare complicated with paroxysmal sympathetic hyperactivity (PSH) syndrome and septic shock. It is a challenge to differential diagnosis and treatment at high altitude.Case presentationThis case presents a CFE with PSH and septic shock of a 23-year-old man occurred at high altitude of 3800 m above sea level, transferred by airplane successfully and cured in the department of neurosurgery, Xi’an Tangdu Hospital.ConclusionsIt is key that CFE with PSH can be rapid diagnosed and treatment bundles of septic shock should be initiated as soon as possible. Early neurological rehabilitation played an important role for good outcome.

Ashworth Scale

To describe current patterns in the use of clinical scales and measurement tech nology for the assessment of motor deficits in neurological rehabilitation. Question naire, sent to the 2,556 members of the World Forum for Neurological Rehabilita tion, distributed over 75 countries. Sixty-eight questionnaires were returned. Generally, participants indicated that the centres where they were based used a num ber of different clinical assessment scales (median, three), most frequently with a small proportion of patients. The (Modified) Ashworth Scale, the FIM, and the Fugl-Meyer were used most frequently. Only 35 respondents stated that their centre used one or more scales in >75% of their patients, but the choice of such routinely applied in struments varied between centres. The application of measurement technology was re stricted, with video and goniometry being used most frequently. The main barriers to more frequent use of assessment tools were perceived to be a lack of resources, infor mation, and training. The (albeit limited) results from this survey suggest that the assessment of motor deficits in neurological rehabilitation is currently mostly qualita tive and lacks standardisation. More resources and education are required to support a more routine application of assessment tools and to integrate measurement tech nology further in neurological rehabilitation to assist in the process of quantification of outcomes. Key Words: Motor deficits—Neurological rehabilitation—Outcome as sessment—Standardisation—Measurement technology.

SummaryNumerous clinical studies have proved the efficacy of therapy robots in Neurological Motor Rehabilitation and their potential benefits for clinical outcome results. A major challenge of current technological and clinical research is the transfer of this new technology from the rehab hospital to the patient's home, thus enabling him to continue high level rehab training for further improvement of motor control of the affected limbs. This article focuses on motivational aspects and tele-rehabilitation concepts, which play an important role in the development of robotic training systems for home rehabilitation.

Abstract Date Presented Accepted for AOTA INSPIRE 2021 but unable to be presented due to online event limitations. Hemiplegic shoulder pain and subluxation are prevalent sequelae following stroke. A gap in the literature exists for shoulder assessments specifically for taping, a common intervention. Studies and tape methods primarily focus on mechanical corrections. However, muscle tone and management, which are prevalent topics in neurological rehabilitation, are rarely addressed. The T-L-C taping method consists of a uniform assessment approach of the shoulder specifically to guide Kinesio® Tape application Primary Author and Speaker: Steven Frey Additional Authors and Speakers: Mark Stumpf, Jacob Wright, and Sara Stephenson Contributing Authors: John Wong, Lauren Loges

Working Age

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a progressive neurological disorder, classically presenting in working age adults, including those in the Armed Forces. The Defence Medical Rehabilitation Centre (DMRC) Stanford Hall offers vocationally focused neurorehabilitation services for service personnel (SP) with MS, with the goal to minimise disability, maximise independence and remain able to work.This paper has two aims. First, it briefly provides a clinical update of MS, focusing on pathology, presentation, diagnosis and management. Finally, it will describe the role of DMRC and data from the last decade in the management of MS.Our findings suggest not all SP with MS are being referred to DMRC, and some of those who do have significant delays, potentially impacting on patient support, symptom management and occupational outcomes. It is hoped that this paper will improve awareness and recognition of MS for Armed Forces personnel.
