Q

Contained vs. Non-Contained Disc Herniation

A

-Contained (Protrusion/Bulging): Damage to the nucleus of the disc, causing outward pressure of annulus
-Non-contained disc herniation (Extrusion): Involves the nucleus breaking or rupturing of the annulus

Impairment
Problem/Dysfunction
27
Disability
How debilitating the problem is to the patient
28
Cervical Myelopathy
-Damage to the SC in the cervical region d/t space occupying lesions such as disc herniation, tumour.. -Clumsiness of fine motor activity of fingers/difficulty walking -Lower Motor Lesion (Upper)/Upper Motor Lesion (Lower) -Cord AND nerve roots -Lhermittes, Babinski’s, compression, Jackson’s, Sprulings, Dejerines -EMERGENCY
29
Cervical Radiculopathy
-Neurocompressive disorder of cervical nerve roots -Deep aching or burning neck pain/radicular arm pain, previous history of neck pain -Muscle weakness in the arm or sensory changes -Resisted ROM, Dejerines triad, compression, Spurling/s distraction, brachial stretch test, Soto-Hall, Lhermittes, Bakody
