Introduction Spinal stenosis is a condition which involves the narrowing of the vertebral column, either in the spinal canal, intervertebral foramina, or the intervertebral spaces. The condition is degenerative and widespread, affecting approximately five in every one thousand people (Hsiang, 2015). This report aims to describe the anatomy of the vertebral column and spinal cord, relating changes in anatomy to the development and presentation of spinal stenosis. Within this discussion, the…

(1.) A. B. 2. (3.) The percentage of Allison’s egg cells that she produces during her lifetime that will carry the recessive allele and the X chromosome is seventy five percent. For the fact, twenty five percent of the cell will carry homozygous recessive allele and X chromosome, the other fifty percentage will carry heterozygous recessive allele and X chromosome. (4.) A. Twenty Five Percent B. No. C. (X)R (X)r (X)R (X)R(X)R - Female homozygous dominant (X)R(X)r…

pain is not attributable to a specific known pathology; hence, the etiology of non-specific LBP remains unclear (Balagué et al. 2012b). Several mechanisms have been proposed to explain the underlying cause of non-specific LBP. Panjabi suggested that spinal instability is controlled by 3 subsystems which include the 1) passive subsystem (consisting of ligaments, joint capsule and bones), 2) active subsystem (consisting of muscles) and 3) nervous system (consisting of the peripheral nervous system…

Paraplegia is a spinal cord injury that results from damage to the vertebrae, ligaments and disks (Mayo Clinic, 2016) For an injury to cause paraplegia one would have to suffer a traumatic injury to the spinal cord that may cause your spine to fracture, dislocate, crush, and even compress one or more of your vertebrae. Additionally, some extra damage can occur because of the bleeding and swelling around the spinal cord (Mayo Clinic, 2016). There are many ways a person can avoid getting a spinal…

weakness in an arm or leg. In some cases some people do not have symptoms from a herniated disk. They also most likely do not need surgery to fix the problem. What causes a hereditary disk is sometimes just aging. When you age your spinal disk lose the water, which makes the spinal flexible, with less water it makes your spine less flexible. This makes you more likely to tear or rupture…

The claimant works as a truck driver. He had an injury on 08/28/2017 while he was tying down loads, he suddenly felt low back pain. He was unable to perform his work the following morning. MRI of the lumbar spine dated 09/13/2017 showed desiccation of disc at the L4-L5 level with circumferential disc bulge and mild degenerative change facets. There was a mild bilateral bony neural foraminal narrowing at the L4-L5 level with possible but not definite L4 nerve root impingement. The tip of the…

Cervicogenic neck pain with cervicogenic headaches/bilateral occipital neuralgia. 4. Bilateral shoulder sprain/strain. 5. Bilateral wrist sprain/strain/bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome. 6. Bilateral hand/ first…

Introduction Everyday nurses talk to their patients about all of the ways they can modify their lives in order to be healthier and stay out of the hospital. However, nurses are not good at taking their own advice. They are some of the unhealthiest people. Throughout school nurses are trained to give the best care possible to all of their patients, even if that meant no lunch that day. There are so many ways that nurses do not take care of their bodies and some of these may be a shock. I will…

With an annual incidence of 5 per 1000 persons, the lumbosacral radicular syndrome caused by a lumbar disk herniation (LDH) is a frequently observed problem 13. The most important symptom is lumbosacral radicular leg pain following a dermatomal pattern from below the knee till the feet and toes. The pain worsens with coughing. Other clinical findings may include unilateral spasm of the paraspinal muscles, gait deformity, limited forward flexion and sensory deficits such as muscle weakness and…

The spinal cord injury (SCI) Alberta value and principles are mostly ideal with the CASW principles. I had mixed emotions and emotions of excitement about the spring practicum. As I knew I would learn a great deal about 2nd-year practicum throughout the semester and I also stressed about the time and finding the agency fit with my time. The first week of at work was a very important time for me to establish a tone for what will happen the rest of the time and the foundation day of how I reduce…
