This document provides definitions and descriptions of various hip, knee, ankle, and foot orthoses. It describes a hip-knee-ankle-foot orthosis (HKAFO) as an orthosis that stabilizes or locks the hip, knee, and ankle. The typical HKAFO consists of two knee-ankle-foot orthoses linked above the hip with a pelvic band or lumbosacral orthosis. It also discusses indications, principles, components, and fabrication of HKAFOs as well as other orthoses like reciprocal gait orthoses and hip orthoses.

Spinal cord injuries can be either traumatic, from events like car accidents or falls, or non-traumatic, from conditions that damage the spinal cord. They are classified as either tetraplegia or paraplegia depending on whether the arms or legs are affected. Physiotherapy focuses on managing symptoms, preventing complications, and improving function through exercises for mobility, transfers, wheelchair skills, and more. The goal is to maximize independence and allow patients to safely perform daily living activities. Prognosis depends on the completeness of the injury and potential for recovery decreases over time as improvement plateaus.
This document provides an overview of spinal cord injury (SCI) management. It describes a case of a 47-year-old male who suffered a cervical spine injury in a motor vehicle accident 4 months ago and is now presenting with paraplegia and paraparesis. The document then outlines key topics related to SCI, including anatomy, causes, types, pathophysiology, clinical syndromes, diagnosis, neurological assessment classification, and management. Tables and diagrams are provided to illustrate spinal cord anatomy and tracts, dermatomes, myotomes, and the American Spinal Injury Association classification system.
1) Paraplegia results from spinal cord injuries below T1 and causes partial or complete paralysis of the legs. The degree of paralysis depends on the level of injury. Paraplegics have full use of their arms.
2) Autonomic dysreflexia is a dangerous condition caused by uncontrolled reflexes in injuries above T6 that can cause severe hypertension.
3) Injuries from T5-L1 result in varying degrees of lower body paralysis but full upper body movement and normal respiratory function. Mobility options depend on the level of independence possible.
A spinal cord injury occurs when the spinal cord is damaged, often from an impact, which can lead to paralysis below the site of injury. In the US there are 12,000 to 15,000 spinal cord injuries per year, most occurring in young people aged 15 to 35. Recovery depends on the severity of injury but may involve surgery, rehabilitation, and care from medical professionals like physical therapists and psychologists. An example is NFL player Kevin Everett who suffered a spinal cord injury during a game but was able to move his limbs a few days later, showing signs of potential recovery.
This document provides an overview of spinal injuries including:
1. It defines spinal injuries as injuries to the spinal column, spinal cord, or both and classifies them.
2. It discusses the epidemiology, mechanisms, clinical features, investigations, diagnosis, management, and prognosis of spinal injuries.
3. It describes the anatomy and functions of the spine, mechanisms of primary and secondary spinal cord injury, and factors that affect the severity of spinal cord lesions.
Spinal cord injuries can cause partial or complete loss of motor and sensory function below the site of injury. There are several types of spinal cord injuries including complete and incomplete injuries. Risk factors include men, young adults, seniors, and those active in sports. Causes include trauma, bullet wounds, and falls. Symptoms depend on the injury level but may include paralysis, numbness, loss of bowel/bladder control. Diagnostic tests include imaging like CT, MRI to determine injury level and severity. Complications can include autonomic dysreflexia, pressure sores, loss of sexual function. Treatment involves stabilizing the spine, managing complications, and long-term rehabilitation.
