Susac Syndrome Clinical Trial
Official title:
Integrated Physiotherapy Approach for Susac Syndrome: A Comprehensive Case Study
Susac's syndrome is a rare autoimmune disorder characterised by a triad of encephalopathy (brain dysfunction), branch retinal artery occlusion (loss of vision) and sensorineural hearing loss. This study presents the case of a patient undergoing intensive physiotherapy intervention following an injury, focusing on assessments such as volume and range of motion measurements, manual muscle tests, and pain intensity evaluations using various scales.
The patient, aged 17, initially presented with severe limitations in mobility, diagnosed with Susac syndrome. Requiring assistance to walk even short distances due to fear and insecurity. Through a structured physiotherapy program spanning several months, various assessments were conducted, including manual muscle tests and circumference measurements. Significant improvements were observed for muscle function, upper and lower limb circumferences, and performance in mobility tests. ;
