Hello,
Thank you very much for your responses. I had posted the same question in 3 topic related groups:
1. [log in to unmask] (international Physiotherapy)
2. [log in to unmask] (international List for biomechanics)
3. [log in to unmask] (List for sports science, biomechanics, physiology, medicine and psychology in fitness and weight training)
I will do no cross posting, every mail will be send seperately to the groups, hopefully you agree with this practice!
Please give me advice how to get the following Articles (located on the CINHL database where I have no access):
1) Light KE, Guiliani CA. Effect of Isokinetic exercise effort on the arm
coordination of hemiparetic subjects. Neurology Report. 1992; 16(4)19.
2) Guiliani CA, Light KE, Rose DK. Effects of Isokinetic exercise program
in gait patterns of patients with hemiparesis. Neurology Report. 1993;
17(4):23-24
3) Miller GT, Light KE, Kellog R. Comparison of isometric force control
measures in spastic muscle of post stroke individuals before and after
graded resistive exercise. Neurology Report. 1996; 20: 92-93
Thank You very much,

SUMMARY:
First my original question:
Hello,
I would appreciate if you could help me in the following questions:
1. Do you have experiences with neurologic patients (stroke, spastic,
paretic, akinetic...) who are doing strenght training with weight or
machines for therapy?
2. Do you know any literature, research groups or rehabilitation centers
that are working on this topic?
Searching for literature all I found were about gait projects with
supported bodyweight.
Thank you very much!
Yours,
Claus Willemer

HI CLAUS,
look up for this method of training and strengthening. it works for
children, why not adults.
"Power Suit
In the prayer-filled world of neuromuscular rehabilitation, Euromed's Adeli
suit is the hot new therapy. Developed for the Soviet cosmonaut program,
the suits, which employ a series of elastic bands that correspond to the
body's musculature, have been used since 1994 for the specific
rehabilitation of patients with cerebral palsy and other related muscle
disorders. Adeli suit therapy is credited with normalizing locomotive and
motor functions in patients' trunks and limbs.

PhysioTools (exercise and patient education software) has recently made a
large collection for this type of patient. Many of the 500+ exercises are
for wheelchair-bound patients.
It was produced with material from The Boson Rehab. Group in Sweden. There's
a short article in Swedish at http://www.hi.se/aoh/artikel.asp?aid=312 but
you can get more information from www.physiotools.com
Hope that helps you in some way.
Adios, Anita

Hi Claus - we do strengthening exercises with all our neuro patients,
with or without weights, whatever the patient can manage. I have looked
for some literature and found the following on my shelf.
The PT:s at Center for hjerneskade in Copenhagen work along the lines
that you are asking about and I am sure they would be very pleased to
tell you more. You can contact them on the following mail address:

Yes, there are folks out there doing strength training with stroke. I would
suggest you contact the Neurology Section of the APTA (American Physical
Therapy Association). The APTA's website is APTA.org.

In regards to your question I am currently doing my PhD on this topic. I am
planning to start a year long strength training program in January.
Currently only Parkinson's patients and healthy elderly people are involved
but we are also attempting to get dyslexia patients involved. Like you I
have not found any research conducted on the effects of pure strength/weight
training on neurologic patients.
If you do come across any research I would appreciate it if you could
forward the references to me. Also if you would like to discuss further this
research do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Jason
Smile it makes people wonder what you are up to.

In unsere Arbeitsgruppe wird zur Zeit eine Studie mit Namen
"Kraft-Studie" durchgeführt. Dabei wird die Entwicklung des Gangmusters von
ICP-Kindern nach einer Operation durch Ganganalyse beurteilt, wobei die
Hälfte der Kinder durch Kraft-Training unterstützt wird.
Genaueres können Ihnen bei Bedarf meine Kollegen berichten.

In a book published by Human Kinetics Adapted Physical Education and Sport 2nd ed., Joseph P. Winnick (editor), 1995, you will find some
information about training individuals with disabilities. I hope you can find something in there to help you, or information from many other
people.

Prof. James Rimmer at University of Illinois at Chicago ([log in to unmask])
has been working on exercise effects in stroke patients. You may look up
his publications or contact him.
Von: Jim Stephens <[log in to unmask]> 17 Aug 2001
There are a number of people working on this. I am not one of them but let
me get you started with a couple of references.
1) Light KE, Guiliani CA. Effect of Isokinetic exercise effort on the arm
coordination of hemiparetic subjects. Neurology Report. 1992; 16(4)19.
2) Guiliani CA, Light KE, Rose DK. Effects of Isokinetic exercise program
in gait patterns of patients with hemiparesis. Neurology Report. 1993;
17(4):23-24
3) Miller GT, Light KE, Kellog R. Comparison of isometric force control
measures in spastic muscle of post stroke individuals before and after
graded resistive exercise. Neurology Report. 1996; 20: 92-93
Neurology Report is a journal of the Neurology section on the American
Physical Therapy Association. It is not listed on Medline but is on the
CINHL database. You may be able to find more recent stuff there. Happy
hunting.

Look at some of the newest references from Dr. carol Richards group. They
looked at circuit training.
Have fun

I would recommend you check out Parkinsons & the Art of Motion.
Most neurological conditions are not prescribed strength exercises
especially peripheral nerves. These conditions are believed to be
inflammatory or degenerative.
Teaching motion on a cognitive level seems to be the choice with
exercise. Many times autonomic or automatic reflexive responses are
lost.

From Dan Wathen,

You should contact Dr. Pat Jacobs at the University of Miami (FL). He
has done much work in this area. Phone him at USA (305)585-7970. It
appears
from his and others work that most neuro conditions benefit from
strength training. Good luck

I saw your question on the "supertraining" discussion list.
We performed one research with Galileo vibration training on CVA patients.
The publication has been published in mai.
You may inform yourself further at http://www.galileo2000.de or request

** Claus, when I was a working at a gym in Sydney, a client of ours was a young
man (about 20 I think) who had cerebal palsy. When he began he was a little
overweight but basically didn't show any muscle size or definition.
He came in and trained with one of our personal trainers three times a week for
an hour each session. Although he used a wheelchair the creativity and
perseverance of the trainers allowed him to experience a wide range of
different exercises. The gains he made so far as strenght and muscle mass gain
was very impressive and inspiring.
The program revolved mainly around the Smith Machine and cable cross over
machine. This allowed exercises such as incline press, shoulder press, tricep
pressdown and straight arm pulldowns. He also did some free weights eg lateral
raise and squats, using bodyweight and holding on to a racked olympic bar for
support (it was so excellent so him out of the wheelchair) and other leg work
using a seated horizontal leg press.
The gains this guy made were real and highlighted to me the importance of
exercise for everyone as long. Creativity and persistency can overcome any
hurdle as long as it is tempered by saftey.
