to 12 PT visits. Current medications include tramadol, ibuprofen, loratadine and Claritin. MRI of the lumbar spine obtained on 03/31/16 revealed a mild left lateral disc protrusion at L4-5 which causes a mild left L4-5 neural foraminal stenosis. There is lumbarization of the S1 vertebral body, with a small S1-2 intervertebral disc. Per the medical report added 05/30/16, the patient states that her condition is still the same. There are days that she is okay and days that she is in severe…

Subjective history of chief complaints and pain will lead physical therapist to look in to the possibility of serious pathology. Addressing the given case history, throbbing type of pain unrelated to the activities and history of nocturnal pain will serve as red flags to the clinician. Patient complaints of shortness of breath and pain pattern are not directly related to the occupational history and medical history provided. According to VanWye, 2009, screening skills of physical therapist…

done on 12/08/15 showed no electrophysiological evidence to support motor radiculopathy or brachial plexus injury and distal peripheral neuropathy in the upper extremities. MRI of the cervical spine dated 12/08/15 showed a 3-mm broad-based anterior disc bulging, more to the right, indenting the right anterior thecal sac at C3-4 and C4-5 levels.…

mild left lateral disc protrusion. Electrodiagnostic study done on 03/31/16 showed no clear evidence of all acute lumbar radiculopathy. The patient was unable to provide active muscular contraction during the needle EMG evaluation of the left extensor hallucis longus and flexor digitorum longus. As such, a chronic left L5 radiculopathy cannot be ruled out. Correlation with lumbar imaging is advised. MRI of the lumbar spine obtained on 03/31/16 revealed a mild left lateral disc protrusion at…

performances, especially for cases with severe diseases and imaging artifacts, by first using a hierarchical strategy to learn anchor (distinctive) vertebrae, bundle (non-distinctive) vertebra, and intervertebral discs and by employing then a local articulated model to model the spatial relations across vertebrae and disc. This approach permits the detection in nearly arbitrary field of view scans, but it requires that at least one of the four ‘anchor’ vertebra (C2, T1, L1, S) be presented in…

back), sacral and coccyx. Some of the structures that would be affected by the incident are the intervertebral discs, due to the compression that was placed on the head. If the vertebral discs structure is severely compressed, the inner material, known as the nucleus pulposus, that is inside the discs could leak out and cause herniation. Herniation is when the nucleus pulposus leaks out of the enclosed disc. This herniation can then affect the nerves, which ultimately affects the function of the…
