ontesto: Rehabilitation

• Decisions on the type, duration, and goals of rehabilitation

are based on several factors, including estimates of the patient’s

potential for recovery of motor and cognitive function, and have

far- reaching consequences

Utility of variables reliably predicting

recovery

• To optimize rehabilitation

• To clarify outcomes and the effects of therapy

• To improve the design and analysis of clinical trials

• To identify appropriate interventions

• To accurately inform patients of likely outcomes

IL CASO: In coma per oltre due anni si risveglia: 'Capivo tutto'

Roma, 4 ottobre 2005 - Salvatore Crisafulli, il

38enne catanese rimasto in stato vegetativo per poco più due anni (nella foto ), dopo che il suo motorino si era scontrato con un furgone mentre andava al lavoro, si è risvegliato….”!!!”. «I medici dicevano che non ero cosciente, ma io capivo tutto - dice Crisafulli, - e piangevo perché non riuscivo a farmi capire».

5Motor evoked potentials in str oke

DISCUSSION

We related the presence/absence of MEP with both muscular

strength and functional recovery, using MRC, BI and the

FAT (a specific scale for upper limb functional assessment),

respectively.

Our data confirm that the presence/absence of MEP may predict

upper limb recovery, not only with regard to muscular strength,

but m

Patients were followed up for 12 months. We chose this period

because, although physiological recovery of injured tissue is

generally completed within 3 months (21), clinical improvement

continues, even if it is less impressive, as a result of reorganiza-

tion (31) and other positive non-biological factors (3).

Prognostic value of Motor evoked potentials

At 12 months, many patients with baseline recordable (even if

pathological) MEP showed a good functional recovery. MEP

absence, however, did not exclude muscular strength recovery,

mainly in proximal muscles. Yet, in the majority of cases, the

segmental strength increase did not correspond to a satisfac-

tory functional recovery (NPV of MEP for functional recovery

between 86% and 95%).

Our predictive values of MEP for functional recovery

recorded from 4 muscles (specificity 85–95%;; sensitivity

88–94%) were higher than those reported by Escudero et al.

(14) (from abductor pollicis brevis: specificity 80%;; sensitivity

77%) and Heald et al. (32) (from pectoralis major, biceps and

triceps brachii and thenar muscles: specificity 58%;; sensitivity

79%). This could be due to different functional tests used, the

FAT being a more specific upper limb functional test than the

BI used in other studies.

In our sample, patients without MEP had a BI score slightly

inferior to that of patients with MEP, but differences were not

statistically significant. A higher BI score was not associated

with a superior predictivity of upper limb functional recovery.

This may be explained by compensatory strategies on func-

tional improvement involving the non-paretic limb (33).

We found that BI was not able to show upper limb functional

changes of segmental activities, probably because it is a scale

that evaluates ADL globally.

Analysing the different muscles to record MEP from, our

data suggest that presence/absence of MEP at ADM appears to

be the most significant predictor for functional recovery (LR+

19.7). This is probably due to a central role of distal muscles

in manual tasks.

7Motor evoked potentials in str oke

An additional motive for MEP study is their use in patients

with consciousness disorders and/or aphasia, as without patient

cooperation MRC cannot be appropriately assessed and thus

is inconclusive with respect to prognosis, while MEP can be

successfully recorded.

In conclusion, in order to improve upper limb functional

prognosis, it would be useful to record MEP in non-cooperative

patients and in subjects with MRC < 2, in whom clinical pre-

dictive value is low, even if previous MEP were found to be

absent in the post-stroke acute phase.

6 A. Pizzi et al.

Prognostic value of Motor evoked potentials vs pr ognostic value of clinical assessment

For muscular strength recovery, baseline MEP presence had a

higher predictive value than clinical examination at proximal

muscles, as shown by LR+ of 12.9 at deltoid (Table IV).

Hendricks et al. (34) reported that MEP seemed to be

more predictive than clinical evaluation to assess functional

recovery. In our study MEP presence was superior to clinical

assessment in predicting functional recovery only if recorded

from ADM. Recording MEP from more than one muscle did

not increase predictive value.

The presence of MRC ≥ 2 at baseline is highly predictive

of recovery. The reasonable question that follows is whether

it is useful to apply to neurophysiological studies requiring

special equipment, trained personnel and time. To optimize

the indication of MEP, we suggest an algorithm (Fig. 1) to

recognize in which patients MEP may provide additional

information to clinical assessment for functional outcome. In

patients with baseline MRC ≥ 2 clinical evaluation alone has

a highly predictive value for functional recovery. In patients

with baseline MRC < 2, MEP recording would be helpful

to increase prognostic accuracy of functional recovery. The

combined application of muscle strength assessment and MEP

parameters had stronger predictive value than muscle power

evaluation alone in patients with MRC < 2 (Fig. 1), in agree-

ment with Feys et al. (21).

Methodological considerations

In the literature there is no consensus on timing of MEP

recording. Timmerhuis & Oosterloo (11) reported that early

determination of MEP had predictive value; Catano et al. (9)

found that only at one month after stroke MEP correlated sig-

nificantly with outcome. This discrepancy may be explained by

various pathophysiological processes aside from direct tissue

damage, such as perilesional oedema, spreading depression,

diaschisis and/or mass effect. These factors may interfere with

MEP parameters in the acute phase of stroke, leading to an

overestimation of the damage (35).

According to Catano et al. (9), in our study absence of MEP

recorded in acute post-stroke phase had a high rate of false

negatives (patients with MEP absent who showed functional

recovery).

To improve prognosis we suggest that MEP recording is re-

peated at admission in the rehabilitation centre, in patients who

were shown to have MEP absent in a previous examination.

Feys et al. (21) found that, in the acute phase, neurophysio-

logical measures alone were of limited value in predicting

motor recovery; at 2 months after stroke onset, MEP could

provide additional valuable information to clinical assessment

in patients with moderate hemiparesis. These authors used

regression analysis and multivariate analysis for statistical

analysis and they did not estimate predictive values in terms

of s

e

ns ibi lity an

d

spe

c

i f i city .

In our population, however, predictive value of MEP re-

corded between 45 and 90 days after stroke (T1) decreased for

muscular strength and for functional recovery in all muscles.

MEP appearance at T1 did not necessarily lead to an improved

outcome, as shown by a reduction in MEP PPV.

Escudero et al. (14) reported that patients with MEP appear-

ance over time had clinical improvement, assessed with BI,

whereas w

al scales.

A limitation of our study is the large range of time of baseline

MEP recording (15–60 days). However, in a post-acute reha-

bilitation centre, patients are admitted with different clinical

severity, sometimes after long periods of hospitalization in

intensive care units due to post-stroke inter-current medical

complications. Another limitation is that the size of sample,

with mixed ischaemic and haemorrhagic stroke at different

locations, did not allow cases stratification for statistical

analysis.

In conclusion, our study confirms that MEP have a significant

predictive value regarding functional recovery at 12 months. In

a clinical rehabilitative context, use of neurophysiological stud-

ies in combination with clinical evaluation is reasonable. Our

data suggest that MEP may be helpful in predicting functional

recovery if recorded at ADM from 2 weeks to 2 months after

stroke onset. Subsequently, MEP predictive values decreased,

as shown by a reduction in MEP PPV.

Considering the clinical applicability of MEP, the proposed

algorithm may assist in decision-making about medical and

rehabilitation treatments.

The PREP algorithm is designed for efficiency and economy, by starting with simple

bedside measures and only using more advanced techniques to resolve uncertainty for

subsets of patients.

The algorithm required:

TMS assessment for 60% of patients
