協助男性偏癱患者施行間歇性導尿之新型輔具：病例報告

Abstract

A 37-year-old male suffered from hemorrhagic stroke with left side hemiplegia and neurogenic bladder. On admission, due to post-renal acute renal failure with hydronephrosis, he received indwelling catheterization but felt very uncomfortable. However, he was physically unable to perform clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) due to his hemiplegia. Two novel devices were designed to help him perform CIC using one side of his body. As in our experience with this case, hemiplegic patients may now be able to perform CIC by themselves to achieve adequate bladder drainage using one-sided limbs under the assistance of the novel orthoses.
