Effect of sensory reeducation training on upper limb in sensory brain calcification syndrome; a case report
Keywords:
Brain calcification, sensory re education, sensory discriminative trainingAbstract
Brain calcification is a neurodegenerative disease in which calcium deposits in various parts of the brain causing a wide variety of impairments in the affected patient. In the current study, a female patient presented with brain calcification in right parietal region. She has disturbing sensory lag and anosognosia along with changes in other combined cortical sensations. Patient received sensory discrimination training and sensory reeducation training for about 10-15 minutes a day up to 6 weeks. Data was collected at baseline, after 2 and 6 weeks of intervention. Sensory grading scale system was used, and hand mapping was done for tactile localization.Marked improvements were noted in sensory modalities.Thus, it can be concluded that sensory discrimination and sensory reeducation training both are an effective adjunct in treating patients with sensory impairments associated with brain calcifications.
