Abstract

<p>We administered physical therapy for a patient who presented with right hemiplegia after cerebral infarction. When lowering clothing with the left hand for toileting, the patient risked falling posteriorly to the right. Therefore, therapy focused on enabling the removal of underclothing. Healthy subjects remove underclothing with the use of left elbow extension and left lateral bending of the trunk, while moving the pelvis in a right lateral direction. However, this patient was unable to adequately bend the trunk to the left and could not lower underclothing on the left side. In addition to not being able to control right lateral movement of the pelvis, she had rearward displacement of the right buttock, and risked falling posteriorly to the right. Physical examination and observation of motion revealed decreased tone of the right external abdominal oblique and the posterior fibers of the gluteus medius; the lower fibers of the gluteus maximus were considered the main problem. Physical therapy enabled the patient to undress for self-toileting by focusing on the impaired muscles.</p>
