- THIS IS NOT SOMETHING WE TREAT, RATHER A CONDITION WE MUST BE AWARE OF TO DETECT AND REFER OUT
What is Neurotmesis and the degrees?
3-5 (Poor Recovery - Worst)
- A severance to part or all of a nerve trunk. There are sensory, motor and autonomic losses (degeneration of axons) and it results in degeneration of the nerve. It required surgery and has a poor recovery prognosis. Muscle wasting is usually involved.
What is Axonotmesis and it’s degrees?
2 (Good Prognosis - Okay)
- A prolonged, severe compression with which there are sensory, motor and autonomic losses (degeneration of axons). It takes month to recover from this type of injury and no surgical treatment is necessary. There is muscle wasting involved but overall the prognosis is good.
What is Neuropraxia and it’s degrees?
1 (Good prognosis - Best)
- A loss of motor function only, but it presents as weakness (no sensory or autonomic involvement). This only happens with compression injuries. There is no structural damage to the nerve – no Wallerian Degeneration(nerve lesions or compression and the nerve distal to compression site degenerates) and it may require weeks to months for recovery but it has a good prognosis. (EX. Sitting on your wallet)
