摘要:
脑胶质瘤病是一种低发病率的弥漫性神经胶质瘤,影响三个或更多脑叶。 20% 的患者生存率< 5 年。尽管化疗似乎可以延长预期寿命,但迄今为止还没有描述有助于改善这些患者的生活质量的干预措施。本研究的目的是评估物理疗法是否有助于做到这一点。我们介绍了一位女性脑胶质瘤患者的病例,该病已发展九年,表现出行走时依赖技术支持和监督、速度和平衡能力下降、下肢震颤和肌张力障碍。患者接受了物理治疗:躯干控制练习、肢体力量和步态能力。观察到功能的改进。需要更大样本量的进一步研究来证实这些结果。
Gliomatosis cerebri is a low incidence diffuse glial tumor that affects three or more brain lobes. The survival rate is < 5 years in 20% of the patients. Although chemotherapy seems to improve life expectancy, to date no interventions have been described that help improve the quality of life of these patients. The aim of this study was to assess if physical therapy may contribute to do this. We present the case of a female patient with gliomatosis cerebri of nine years of evolution showing dependence on technical supports and supervision during walking, reduced speed and balance, tremor and dystonia in lower limbs. The patient underwent physiotherapy treatment: trunk control exercises, limb strength, and gait ability. Improvement in functionality was observed. Further studies with a larger sample size are needed to confirm these results .
