Rehabilitation after stroke. Emphasis on usefulness in restoration of function.

The physical treatment of patients with paralysis after stroke is not a casual prescription of exercise but involves an evaluation of the patient from the mental and sensorimotor standpoint to determine his disabilities and abilities. This is necessary to prescribe and direct a precise form of activity and functional exercises that will promote a return of functional patterns of movement useful to the patient for his independence.

Physical medicine for injured hands.

The functional concepts of treatment of the injured hand by use of the various modalities of physical medicine, including heat, massage, electrical stimulation, passive exercises, active exercises, occupational therapy and splints are discussed. Immobilization is often necessary to correct anatomical injuries. Mobilization activities using physical medicine are just as necessary to correct functional deficiencies of the hand occurring either from the injury or the enforced immobilization following an injury.
