The high costs of low back pain are borne by the government, insurance companies, and the general public in the form of medical treatments and impairment compensations [ 2, 3].
Therefore, late access of patients led to this inpatient rehabilitation program which mixes sub-acute interventions (strategies designed to enable recovery of impairments, compensation of disabilities and preventive techniques), and chronic demands (work focused on social re-entry, community and domestic functional independence, and the reduction of handicaps).
Peak rearfoot eversion, peak lateral forefoot abduction, peak 1st metatarsal dorsiflexion, peak hallux dorsiflexion, minimum navicular height, midfoot and lesser toe contact areas, and peak pressures in the rear- and forefoot were selected to describe localised functional impairments, compensations and deformities [13,14].
Our results indicate that ipsilesional hypo- and contralesional hypermetabolism contribute to both motor impairment and compensation.
Studies were excluded: 1) if only able-bodied persons participated, 2) if no comparison of trunk impairment or compensation for trunk impairment was made, 3) if no definition of trunk impairment was reported or 4) also excluded were articles containing only qualitative data, expert opinions or case reports.
In summary functional assessment after brain injury requires detailed motor tests in order to address long-term impairments and compensation processes that are mediated by intact tissues.
Having two impairments likely inhibits the compensation of one impairment through the use of the other (e.g., compensating for deafness by lipreading).
This article provides evidence that bidirectional changes in fMRI cortical and subcortical activity predict performance impairments and performance compensation during verbal learning following acute SD.
Mixed effects were also found for hypermetabolism of the contralesional midbrain locomotor region, while contralesional striatal hyperactivation was linked to motor impairments rather than compensation.
At that time, assessment was limited to determination of impairment, and the resulting compensation was rather crude, involving a set cash payment for different types of impairments.
