Spine injuries and physiotherapy
General Information
Spinal column consists of 33 vertebrae bone an annular monolith on top of each other extending from the neck to the coccyx. His job is to keep the balance of the body in an upright position and connecting the arms and legs. Known as the seven paragraphs of the upper paragraphs cervical, followed by the thoracic spine is 12 paragraphs, followed by the lumbar spine is composed of 5 vertebrae, followed by the deficit, which consists of 5 vertebrae fused be something like greatness one followed by the coccyx or greatness tail, which consists of 4 bones fused together.

Mediated spine channel extends the spinal cord that connects the brain and transmits nerve signals from the brain to other parts of the body and vice versa. Thus, the brain plays the role of the transfer of nerve signals in different directions through the spinal cord, which plays the role of the carrier for those messages to all members of the muscles of the body that issued responses, and so when injured spinal cord are lacking the ability to send nerve signals to the member affected can not move messages ( nerve signals) through the brain to the affected areas.

Causes of spinal cord injury:
Spinal cord may get cut or stabbed as a result of exposure to or bullets or paragraphs or fractions of bacterial diseases or viral Tadoba or go.
Spinal cord may be affected due to lack of blood flow or oxygen to the brain as it can not live for more than three minutes without blood or oxygen.
Any pressure on the spinal cord may damage it may be that the region from external or internal, for example, when you break one of the paragraphs, it is pressing on the spinal cord, causing:
Swelling of the spinal cord or the channel surrounding it.
Spinal cord bleeding or the channel surrounding it.
Inflammation or abscess pressing on the spinal cord or spinal cord consists of the same.

Full infection of the spinal cord:
1 - quadriplegia:
Happens when you get one of the seven cervical vertebrae, usually the patient loses sensation and muscle strength and notes on the patient that:
May suffer from breathing problems and may need a respirator or breathing normally but suffer from difficulty when you cough.
Can not control intestinal therefore placed him a special program of the stomach.
Can not control waste and therefore always uses the catheter.
Can not walk.
Move his hands or shoulders depending on the severity of injury or lesion, but can not use his hands full.
Weak sexual ability.
2 - Paraplegia Terminal
Produces the injury, which lies between the chest and the first deficit and the patient loses the ability to sense movement in the area of ??injury and below.
Notes on the patient that:
Control can not remove the waste and therefore must use a catheter to the patient.
Can not control intestinal canal must therefore be placed on the feeding program through the stomach.
Limited sexual ability.
Can not use the legs fully.
3 - partial injury of the spinal cord:
In the above-mentioned lesions or injuries that affect the spinal cord injury, there may be incomplete (partial) means that a certain part of the spinal cord injured and not all. As a result, there may be a small amount of non-sense or weakness of the movement under the subject of HIV infection may be in one side of the body or both sides. Vary any infection for other injuries, therefore it is difficult to determine the level of mobility that will be in the patient at the outset, and play time and hard work played an important role in determining the amount of recovery from injury.
What is rehabilitation?
Is the stage where the patient learns how to get the maximum benefit from the capabilities that are still owned by, For the patient to learn how to depend on the same degree as, according to the attributes of capabilities. Here comes the role of the rehabilitation of SCI patients, as it aims to train each patient to take maximum advantage of the capabilities that were not affected by injury and that does not succeed without the cooperation and willingness of the patient.
Physiotherapy
The purpose of physiotherapy is to prevent stiffness of joints, muscle weakness and to maintain a good balance between the muscles that operate between the muscles that do not work, which the patient can achieve the greatest degree of independence in activities of daily life by the size of the injury suffered.
Initial treatment:
Are examined muscles and joints and the ability to sense and all the skin to determine the effect of infection and the ability to move and work of the members in general.
When the infection include the region among the first paragraph of the neck and the chest the second session, this affects the respiratory muscles, and in some cases, patients need to assist in the process of respiration and air to breathe and get rid of secretions by coughing.
Exercise benefit for the prevention of pain and stiffness in muscles and joints and stimulate blood circulation.
Do exercises that make all the proper muscles as strong as possible, since the beginning of infection and continuity necessary for the prevention of muscular weakness.
The situation is good for the body is an important requirement to prevent the ulcer bed and the occurrence of convulsions, muscle contractions or injury Palace length.
The rehabilitation phase:
Begin the rehabilitation phase once to allow the patient to leave the bed. The goal during this phase is to achieve maximum independence, and this depends on the level of infection and complications that could produce as well as the spirit of the patient's morale, and will be the focus during this phase as follows: balance, movement, techniques relieve the pressure, standing and walking depending on your assistant (depending This level of injury), cough and other functional motor activities.
Exercises the upper
Shoulder bend forward
Annex bend (elbow)
Annex D (elbow)
Exercise the lower limbs
Elongation of the thigh and leg muscles of the back
Elongation of the inner thigh muscles
Elongation of anterior thigh muscles
Exercises to maintain flexibility of the knee joint and hip
Exercises to maintain flexibility of the ankle joint
Functional range of motion exercises
Volatility in the bed on both sides
Transition from a lying down to sitting
The transition from bed to chair and vice-versa
Reducing the pressure while sitting on the chair
The types of disabilities, which coincide with a spinal cord injury vary according to the severity of injury, according to their level, the information described above in general for most cases of spinal cord injuries, but differ in the way of performance in terms of quality and quantity depending on the level of injury and the capacity of the patient is advised to consult a physiotherapist or rehabilitation of the details Ouma'lomat more.
