Summary
Supplementary motor area (SMA) syndrome, a postoperative complication, can be managed with stage-dependent rehabilitation. This case highlights effective physical and occupational therapy for improving motor function and coordination after SMA tumor resection.
Area of Science:
- Neurosurgery
- Neurology
- Rehabilitation Medicine
Background:
- Supplementary motor area (SMA) syndrome is a recognized postoperative complication after SMA tumor resection.
- It typically presents with delayed movement initiation and impaired bimanual coordination.
- Current rehabilitation strategies for SMA syndrome lack stage-specific guidelines.
