Moyamoya disease (MMD) meaning "hazy puff of smoke" in Japanese is a rare chronic cerebrovascular syndrome characterized by progressive stenosis and occlusion of the internal carotid arteries (ICAs) anterior cerebral arteries (ACAs), and middle cerebral arteries (MCAs).
Our moyamoya patient with severely impaired cognitive and motor functions underwent a specific motor and neuropsychological rehabilitative treatments to assess the recovery of consciousness.
Results obtained showed an improvement of clinical and neuropsychological examination. These findings highlighted the importance of an intensive rehabilitation techniques used in the care of disorders of consciousness patients.
The use of sensory methods provides advantages for the rehabilitation. In fact, in this study, we showed a correlation between sensory stimulation and changes in patient's clinical status.
在日语中,烟雾病(MMD)的意思是“朦胧的烟雾”,它是一种罕见的慢性脑血管综合征,其特征是颈内动脉(ICAs)、大脑前动脉(ACAs)和大脑中动脉(MCAs)进行性狭窄和闭塞。
我们的烟雾病患者认知和运动功能严重受损,接受了特定的运动和神经心理康复治疗,以评估意识恢复情况。
结果显示临床和神经心理学检查均有改善。这些发现强调了在意识障碍患者护理中使用强化康复技术的重要性。
感觉方法的使用为康复提供了优势。事实上,在这项研究中,我们显示了感觉刺激与患者临床状况变化之间的相关性。
