of care setting. Target Population: This guideline applies to adult patients (18 years or older) with post-stroke functional disability who may require rehabilitation in the VHA or DoD health care system. Audiences: The guideline is relevant to all healthcare professionals providing or directing treatment services to patients recovering from a stroke, in any healthcare setting (primary care, specialty care, and long-term care) and in community programs. Version 2.0 VA/DoD Clinical Practice Guideline (...) for the October, 2010 Management of Stroke Rehabilitation Introduction Page - 3 Stroke Rehabilitation: Stroke is a leading cause of disability in the United States. (AHA, 1999) Forty percent of stroke patients are left with moderate functional impairment and 15% to 30% with severe disability. Effective rehabilitation interventions initiated early after stroke can enhance the recovery process and minimize functional disability. Improved functional outcomes for patients also contribute to patient satisfaction

1663. Symptomatic treatment for muscle cramps
agents that are effective and safe for the treatment of muscle cramps. Glossary ALS = amyotrophic lateral sclerosis ; CI = confidence interval ; FDA = Food and Drug Administration. Muscle cramps are involuntary, generally painful contractions of a muscle or muscle group. Some patients are bothered by very frequent and severe muscle cramps that may be disabling. A cross-sectional prevalence study of 365 outpatients aged 65 or older in the United Kingdom reports that 50% of outpatients report frequent (...) effective (Level A), the use of quinine derivatives for treatment of muscle cramps should be avoided for routine treatment of cramps. These agents should only be considered when cramps are very disabling, no other agents relieve symptoms, and there is careful monitoring of side effects. They should only be used after informing the patient of the potentially serious side effects. Question 3: Are there any other pharmacologic treatments effective for the treatment of muscle cramps?

component of the multifaceted motor disability of CP and may not be the main factor interfering with function, participation, or activity. Alleviation of spasticity may not always be desirable; some patients may experience a decline in function with spasticity reduction. The decision to use antispasticity medications requires careful assessment of the patient's other impairments (e.g., weakness, movement disorders) and proper selection and use of the treatment. Reasons to treat spasticity include (...) proportion of treatment group subjects showed more than 20% change above baseline QUEST scores compared with the control group at 1 month (67% vs 19%; p = 0.004) and 3 months (71% vs 33%; p = 0.03) but not at 6 months. Application of BoNT-A in this study was guided by electrical stimulation. In another Class I study (n = 29), BoNT-A was injected into upper extremity muscles using anatomic knowledge only to guide injection location. The study used the same BoNT-A formulation and similar doses

Recent reviews by the American Heart Association have surveyed the medical literature to develop guidelines for the clinical management of ruptured and unruptured cerebral aneurysms.

Despite efforts to synthesize existing knowledge on cerebral aneurysm evaluation and treatment, significant inconsistencies remain in nomenclature and definition for research and reporting purposes. One of the major challenges in the basic evaluation and reporting of endovascular treatment results is the interpretation of fluoroscopic and arteriographic imaging.
