Q

Vad är Intervertebral disc disease (IVDD) och vad kan det ge för symptom? Vilken typ av rehab kan vara lämplig här?

A

Vad?
-Degeneration with potential, eventual herniation of intervertebral disc resulting in compression of spinal nerve, nerve root, &/or spinal cord

Signs:

  • Pain, soreness, stiffness
  • Changes in/loss of sensation -> weakness/paralysis -> loss of deep pain
  • Tends to occur at “transitional” areas of spine

Rehab:

  • NMES
  • LLLT
  • Functional therapeutic exercises with facilitation techniques
  • Aquatic therapy (swimming  waterwalking)
  • Balance & proprioceptive therapeutic exercises

Q

Vad är FIBROCARTILAGINOUS EMBOLISM (FCE) & ACUTE NON-COMPRESSIVE NUCLEUS PULPOSUS EXTRUSION (ANNPE) och vad kan det ge för symptom?

A
  • FCE: “spinal cord stroke,” a blood vessel feeding the spinal cord becomes blocked by a piece of cartilage originating from the intervertebral disc, causing neurons to malfunction
  • ANNPE: a portion of healthy intervertebral disc suddenly shoots out through its encasement and collides with the spinal cord at a high velocity, causing bruising of (& sometimes significant bleeding inside) the spinal cord

Signs:

  • Abrupt gait dysfunction (often when running or jumping)
  • Focal, asymmetric lesion
  • Rarely progresses after 12 hours
  • No spinal pain
  • Tends to improve over a few weeks
  • Poor prognosis, if no deep pain perception
