Medical complications of spinal cord injury (SCI)
- Skin breakdown
- Pressure sores
- Decubitus ulcers
This ASIA classification indicates a complete lesion, no motor/sensory function in the sacral segments S4-S5
ASIA classification A
This ASIA classification indicates an incomplete lesion, sensory but no motor function below the neurological level and includes sacral segments S4-S5
ASIA classification B
This ASIA classification indicates an complete lesion, motor function below the neurological level, and more than half of the key muscles below the neurological level have a muscle grade less than 3
ASIA classification C
This ASIA classification indicates an incomplete lesion, motor function below the neurological level, and at least half of the key muscles below the neurological level have a muscle grade of 3 or more
ASIA classification D
This ASIA classification indicates that motor and sensory function is normal
ASIA classification E
any degree of paralysis of the 4 limbs and trunk musculature
Tetraplegia (quadriplegia)
paralysis of the LE with some involvement of the trunk and hips depending on the level of lesion
Paraplegia
PLISSIT stands for
P- Permission giving L- Limited I- Information S- Specific S- Suggestions I- Intensive T- Therapy
Barriers for therapists addressing sexual activities with pts:
- lack of comfort
- lack of knowledge
- fear of offending client
- cultural/religious beliefs
- older age client
- negative attitudes
- embarrassment
- client ill
Functional outcome of Level C1-3
- Intact muscles: sternocleidomastoid, cervical paraspinal, neck accessories
- Movement possible: neck flexion, extension, rotation
- Weakness- total paralysis of the trunk, UE, LW, dependent on ventilator
Functional outcomes of Level C4
- Intact muscles: Trapezius, Partial Levator scapulae, Diaphragm, Cervical paraspinal
- Movement: neck flexion/extension, rotation, scapular elevation, inspiration
- Weakness- paralysis of trunk, UE, LE, inability to cough, endurance and respiratory reserve low secondary to paralysis of intercostal
Functional outcomes of Level C5
- Intact muscles: Deltoids, Biceps, Brachioradialis, Brachialis, Partial Serratus Anterior, Rhomboids, Supinator
- Movement: shoulder flexion/extension/abduction, elbow flexion/supination, scapular adduction/abduction
Weakness: absence of elbow extension, pronation, all wrist/hand movement, total paralysis of trunk and LE
Functional outcomes of Level C6
- Intact muscles: clavicular, pectoralis, supinator, extensor carpi radialis longus and brevis, serratus anterior, latssimus dorsi
- Movement: scapular protraction, some horizontal adduction, forearm supination, radial wrist extension
- Weakness: absence of wrist flexion, elbow extension, hand movement, total paralysis of trunk and LE
Functional outcomes of Level C7-C8
- Intact muscles: latissimus dorsi, sternal pectoralis, triceps, pronator quadratus, extensor carpi ulnaris, flexor carpi radialis, flexor digitorum profundus and superficialis, extensor communis, pronator/flexor/extensor/abductor pollicis, partial lumbricals
- Movement: elbow extension, ulnar/wrist extension, wrist flexion, finger flexions/extensions, thumb
- Weakness: paralysis of trunk and LE, limited grasp and dexerity secondary to partial intrinsic muscles of hand
Functional outcomes of Level T1-T9
- Intact muscles: intrinsic muscles of hands/thub, partial intercostals, upper abdominals, Long muscles of back, erector spinae, lumbricals, flexor/extensor/abductor pollicis
- Movement: UE fully intact, limited upper trunk stability, endurance increased secondary to innervation of intercostals
Weakness: lower trunk paralysis, total paralysis of LE
Functional outcomes of Level T10-L1
- Intact muscles: full intercostal innervation, additional abdominal innervation, external obliques, rectus abdominus
- Movement: fair to good trunk stability
- Weakness: paralysis of LE
Functional outcomes of Level L2-S5
- Intact muscles: hip flexors, knee extensors, ankle dorsiflexors, long toe extensors, ankle plantar flexors, fully intact abdominals, other trunk muscles
- Movement: good trunk stability, partial to full control of LE
- Weakness: partial paralysis of LE, hip, knees, ankle, foot
the tendons of the intrinsic hand muscles are held close to the bones of the wrist and hand by connective tissue
Tenodesis
Tenodesis
- wrist extension results in finger flexion
* wrist flexion results in finger extension
Why is tenodesis beneficial?
repairs the joints
How do we prevent tenodesis from overstretching?
- splinting
* using fist instead of hands opened to do transfers
What are the major types of Arthritis?
- Rheumatoid arthritis (RA)
- Osteoarthritis
- Gout
Symptoms of Rheumatoid Arthritis:
fatigue, loss of appetite, fever, weight loss, overall achiness/stiffness
Symptoms of Osteoarthritis:
pain, stiffness, swelling, crepitus (cracking sound)
Impact of RA on the hands (deformities):
- Swan-neck deformity
- Boutonniere deformity
- Ulnar drift
- Subluxation
- Fusiform swelling
- Trigger finger
