JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe motor dysfunction and the recovery pattern of an unaffected upper limb in acute stage of a stroke were studied. The subjects were twenty-five patients with a first attack of stroke. Their level of consciousness was less than 1 figure on Japan Coma Scale. The number of pressing a hand tally counter (HTC) in 10 seconds and grip strength (kg) were evaluated every 7th day from the onset of a stroke to the 28th day. Unaffected side coordination as assessed with the number of HTC improved at the 14th day after a stroke compared with that on the first day. Grip strength of an unaffected side was increased at the 28th day after a stroke. Although the consciousness disturbance was minimal, patients showed ipsilateral motor dysfunction of hand. This would suggest the presense of whole brain dysfunction. HTC may allow finer evaluation of motor function of unaffected upper limb than grip strength.View full abstractDownload PDF (466K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSMore than fifteen thousand residents in Date city, Abuta and Sobetsu town evacuated during the eruption of Usuzan volcano on March 31, 2000. Medical staff of Toya Kyokai Hospital along with 281 inpatients moved away safely. 143 inpatients including 91 undergoing rehabilitation were transferred by private buses as follows: 64 to Date Red Cross Hospital, 32 to Toya Onsen Hospital, 20 to Yotei Green Hospital, and 15 to Muroran City. Secondary relocation to safer institutions was assisted with medical social workers and was completed within a month. Another 138 inpatients were discharged. A questionnaire survey was conducted to evaluate evacuation activities and problems faced both in the receiving hospitals and in evacuation shelters. 173 out of 269 (64.3%) responded. It was revealed that ward nurses were active in preparation and execution of the escape. Useful personal belongings were medications, money, clothes, shoes with braces and canes. Glasses and dentures were items easily forgotten. Evacuation centers should be comfortably equipped for persons with disability. A concept of “disaster core hospitals” was introduced after the great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake in 1995, however, its was targeted to directly injured residents by the disasters. Evacuating inpatients or people with disability receiving rehabilitation services were unfortunately excluded from the definition.View full abstractDownload PDF (1363K) -
