O'Neill BJ, Geis CC, Bogey RA, Moroz A, Bryant PR. Stroke and neurodegenerative disorders. 1. Acute stroke evaluation, management, risks, prevention, and prognosis. 2004;85(3 Suppl 1):S3-10. This self-directed learning module highlights recent developments in the acute care of stroke patients, prediction of outcome after stroke, evaluation of risk factors, secondary prevention of stroke, and the evaluation of the young adult with stroke. It is part of the study guide on stroke and neurodegenerative disorders in the Self-Directed Physiatric Education Program for practitioners and trainees in physical medicine and rehabilitation. This article contains sections on the acute evaluation and management of the stroke patient, prediction of functional outcome after stroke, and secondary prevention of stroke. Special emphasis is given to the evaluation of the young adult with stroke.Overall article objectives (a) To summarize the acute evaluation and management of stroke, particularly in the young stroke patient; and (b) to review the risk factors for stroke and secondary prevention measures

Bogey RA, Elovic EP, Bryant PR, Geis CC, Moroz A, O'Neill BJ. Rehabilitation of movement disorders. 2004;85(3 Suppl 1):S41-5. This self-directed learning module highlights several movement disorders. These include dystonia, chorea, tremors, and myoclonus. A description of the clinical presentation and associated disease processes is presented. Although the discussion on treatment focuses on pharmacologic intervention, surgical options are presented when appropriate. Other movement disorders (ie, parkinsonism) are discussed elsewhere in the Study Guide.Overall article objectives: (a) To define the various symptoms and etiologies of dystonia; (b) to define chorea and its treatment; (c) to define tremors, including associated neurologic disorders, plus pharmacologic and potential surgical interventions; and (d) to describe the symptoms, classification, and treatment of primary and secondary myoclonus

Bryant PR, Geis CC, Moroz A, O'Neill BJ, Bogey RA. Stroke and neurodegenerative disorders. 4. Neurodegenerative disorders. 2004;85(3 Suppl 1):S21-33. This self-directed learning module highlights diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation issues in patients with neurodegenerative disorders, including multiple sclerosis (MS), Parkinson's disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). It is part of the study guide on stroke and neurodegenerative disorders in the Self-Directed Physiatric Education Program for practitioners and trainees in physical medicine and rehabilitation. This article specifically focuses on the differential diagnosis, diagnostic evaluation, medical management, and rehabilitation issues in MS. Similarly, the differential diagnosis treatment and rehabilitation in Parkinson's disease is discussed. Electrodiagnosis, pharmacologic treatment, and rehabilitation options for ALS are also discussed.Overall article objective To review the differential diagnosis, evaluation, medical treatment, and rehabilitation management of patients with MS, Parkinson's disease, and ALS

Bogey RA, Geis CC, Bryant PR, Moroz A, O'Neill BJ. Stroke and neurodegenerative disorders. 3. Stroke: rehabilitation management. 2004;85(3 Suppl 1):S15-20. This self-directed learning module highlights common rehabilitation issues in stroke survivors. Topics include spasticity, constraint-induced movement therapy, partial body weight-supported treadmill training, virtual reality training, vestibular retraining, aphasia treatment, and cognitive retraining. It is part of the study chapter on stroke and neurodegenerative disorders in the Self-Directed Physiatric Education Program for practitioners and trainees in physical medicine and rehabilitation.Overall article objectives (a) To identify and review the treatment options for poststroke spasticity; (b) to review the use of body weight-supported treadmill training in stroke patients; (c) to describe virtual reality training as an adjunct in stroke rehabilitation; (d) to review vestibular rehabilitation; (e) to discuss advances in aphasia treatment; (f) to discuss cognitive retraining; and (g) to provide an update on treatment of neglect syndromes
