Rehabilitation, Using Guided Cerebral Plasticity, of a Brachial Plexus Injury Treated with Intercostal and Phrenic Nerve Transfers
Recovery after surgical reconstruction of a brachial plexus injury using nerve grafting and nerve transfer procedures is a function of peripheral nerve regeneration and cerebral reorganization. A 15-year-old boy, with traumatic avulsion of nerve roots C5-C7 and a non-rupture of C8-T1, was operated 3 weeks after the injury with nerve transfers: (a) terminal part of the accessory nerve to the sup...
متن کاملبررسی نحوه توزیع اعصاب بین دنده ای تحتانی در عضله راست شکمی
This study was conducted on 48 specimens of Rectus abdominis muscles for recognition and definition of passage and ramification of lower intercostal nerves. The main results of this study are as follows: 1- The seventh and eight intercostal nerves penetrated to posterior layer of the Rectus sheath while other intercostal nerves perforated to dorsal layer of internal oblique abdominis aponeurosi...
متن کاملIntercostal and pectoral nerve transfers to re-innervate the biceps muscle in obstetric brachial plexus lesions.
In obstetric brachial plexus lesions with avulsion injury, nerve grafting for biceps muscle re-innervation may not be possible owing to the unavailability of a proximal stump. In such cases, the intercostal nerves or medial pectoral nerve can serve as donor nerves in an end-to-end transfer to the musculocutaneous nerve. The present study reports the results of both techniques from a single inst...
متن کاملNewer nerve transfers
In nerve transfer, we transfer a physiologically active nerve to a distal, more important but irreparably paralyzed nerve. This surgical procedure is best done early within 6 months of the injury. Nerve transfer can be broadly classified into four categories: (1) Extraplexal; (2) Intraplexal and (3) Targeted nerve transfer. Prime extraplexal donors are the spinal accessory, phrenic and intercos...
متن کاملNeuroplasticity and neuromotor synergies in context of rehabilitation after stroke: a systematic review
Background: Alterations of neuroplasticity and cortical excitability are important pathophysiological factors in stroke. Modulation of the neuroplasticity has been proposed as an underlying mechanism of recovery in different neurological disorders. But it is not still clear how the CNS faces the complexity of muscle control. Neuroplastic processes may be used for the functional improvement of s...
