The Brunnstrom Approach follows six proposed stages of sequential motor recovery after a stroke. A patient can plateau at any of these stages, but will generally follow this sequence if he or she makes a full recovery. [1] [2] The variability found between patients depends on the location and severity of the lesion, and the potential for ...

A person displaying decorticate posturing in response to pain gets a score of three in the motor section of the Glasgow Coma Scale , caused by the flexion of muscles due ...

Positions included the "Coma Position", "Rautek's Position" and the "HAINES (High Arm IN Endangered Spine) position". In 1992, the European Resuscitation Council adopted a new position where the arm nearest the floor was brought out in front of the patient, whereas it had previously been placed behind the patient. This change was made due to ...
