The Norman Rehabilitation Center has treated many patients with a variety of conditions using the Spider equipment and sometimes, if necessary, plastering. Below are graphs that explain clinical cases that we have treated. |
In a study, 308 patients were observed and rehabilitated. This took place during three years of research and implementation of the therapy program. It is necessary to mention that the referred clinical classification gives the widest range of information because it combines the domination of clinical symptoms plus topographical placement of their origin. Besides those factors, every patient case must be considered absolutely individual, and should not be put in a relevant class. Due to the complexity of the cases, and the variety of conditions the results can not be presented in a single group. Each case was evaluated individually and the rehabilitation results were recorded. |
PATIENTS ACCORDING TO TOPOGRAPHIC CLASSIFICATION 1.- Tetrapareza 66% 2.-Dipareza 10% 3.-Hemipareza 9% 4.- Other 15% PATIENTS ACCORDING TO CLINICAL CLASSIFICATION 1.- Spasticity-55% 2.- Ataxia-5% 3.- Dyskinesia-32% 4.- Other-8% |

During further sessions the following was achieved: The control of athetotic activity lead to a better walking pattern, and improvement of back part of the body's proprioception Because of the need to improv stabilization and symmetry on his pelvis he wa schedule to take further sessions. This patient has taken six sessions. In four of them he had plastering. |
