|
Designation of lesion level
|
Ti indicate the most distal univolved nerve root segment with normal function together with skeletal level.
|
|
|
Oblique injuries to SC
|
Cord present with asymmetric sensory and or motor function. Designating the most distal nerve route segment with normal function on each side of the pts body
|
|
|
Complete injury of SC
|
no sensory or motor function below the level of the lesion
|
|
|
incomplete injury of SC
|
spotty sensory or motor function below the level of imjury including s4-5 sparing
|
|
|
The most common of SCI are
|
indirect forces created by movement of the head and trunk.
flexion/rotation injury hyperflexion injuries hyperextension injuries compression injuries |
|
|
Brown-sequard syndrome
|
caused by hemisection of the cord. Ipsilateral: decreased kinesthesia, proprioception. vibration, motor, light touch sensation. Contrateral: damage to the sepinothalamictracts results in loss of pain and tempature sense.
|
|
|
Kinesthesia
|
inability tp percieve the extent direction of weight of movement
|
|
|
Anterior cord syndrome
|
results from flexion injuries or anterior spinal artery injury. s/s loss of motor function pain, tempature below the lesion
|
|
|
central cord syndrome
|
hyperextension injury or narrowing of the spinal cord. varying degrees of sensory loss
|
|
|
posterior cord syndrome
|
rare. posterior spinal artery compression, infarct or a tumor. s/s loss of proprioceptionand two point discrimination. WBOS gait
|
|
|
Cauda Equina syndrome
|
peripheral nerve injury not to CNS. Typically injury below L1. S/S areflexia, flaccidity and loss B&B
|
|
|
Spinal shock
|
period of areflexia, flaccidity and loss of sensation below the injury level immediately following SCI. several hours-weeks (24)
|
|
|
Autonomic dysreflexia
|
problem with any with lesion above T6. Anoxious stimulus will cause an autonomic reflex response. vasoconstriction amd increase Bp
|
|
|
Common Causes of Autonomic Dysreflexia
|
blocked catheter
Bowel and Bladder distension ulcers kidney malfunction tempature |
|
|
S/S of Autonmic dysreflexia
|
hypertension, severs HA. sweating, vasoconstriction below level injury, constricted pupil, increased spasticity, goose bumps
|
|
|
Heterotopic ossificans
|
abnormal bone growth in tissue
