“…Biceps rerouting around the radius can treat a flexible supination position of the forearm by eliminating a supination force and providing a pronation moment. [7][8][9] Manske et al 8 reported on 9 patients with flexible supination deformities treated by biceps tendon rerouting alone. The average preoperative passive range of motion in this group of patients was 138°.…”

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] A soft-tissue technique can be used to correct a supple or fixed supination deformity. Steindler 1 described simple sectioning of the supinator muscle; Zancolli 7 recommended release of the interosseous membrane combined with rerouting of the We report a consecutive series of patients in whom a proximal ulna osteotomy combined with a distal radius osteotomy was performed to correct a fixed supination deformity in pediatric and adolescent forearms.…”

“…Lähmungsbedingte Supinationskontrakturen sind meist die Folge geburtstraumatischer (unterer) Armplexusschäden, können aber auch bei traumatischen Plexuslä-sionen im Erwachsenenalter, Poliomyelitis, Tetraplegie und anderen peripheren Nervenverletzungen auftreten [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17].…”

Eleven children with obstetric brachial plexus palsy and an average age of 6 years (4-12 years) were operated. In eight cases, besides rerouting of the biceps tendon, a release of the interosseous membrane was performed. Average follow-up time is 36 months (10-55 months). In all patients, an improved and more normal spontaneous posture of the paralyzed forearm resulted: difference of forearm position/increase of pronation 87 degrees (70-100 degrees). 91% of the patients reached an active pronation at least to neutral rotation, 46% were able to pronate up to 30 degrees and more.

“…Traditional therapy frequently consists of physical repetition, 1 orthotic use, 2 or UL surgery. 3 Integrating mental rehearsal based on motor imagery (MI) into conventional therapy was aimed at improving rehabilitation efficiency. MI is the mental representation of an action without any overt movement.…”

Could motor imagery be effective in upper limb rehabilitation of individuals with spinal cord injury? A case study

et al. 2012

Study design: A case study. Objective: The aim was to investigate whether motor imagery (MI) could be successfully incorporated into conventional therapy among individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) to improve upper limb (UL) function. Setting: The Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Unit at the Henry Gabrielle Hospital in Lyon, France. Methods: The participant was an individual with a complete C6 SCI. MI content was focused on functional UL movements, to improve hand transport to reach out and grasp with tenodesis. The participant was tested before and after 15 MI training sessions (45 min each, three times a week during 5 consecutive weeks). MI ability and program compliance were used as indicators of feasibility. The Minnesota and Box and Blocks tests, as well as movement time and hand trajectory during targeted movements were the dependent variables, evaluating motor performance before and after MI training. Results: The participant's ability to generate MI was checked and compliance with the rehabilitation program was confirmed. The time needed to complete the Minnesota test decreased by 1 min 25 s. The Box and Blocks score was improved by three units after MI program. Decreased movement time and enhanced hand trajectory smoothness were still observed 3 months later, despite a slight decrease in performance. Conclusions: This study supports the feasibility for introducing MI in conventional therapy. Further studies should confirm the potential role of MI in motor recovery with a larger sample.
