The spinal column protects the spinal cord and is made up of vertebrae. Spina bifida occulta is a general term for conditions affecting the spinal column. It rarely causes symptoms, but core and lower body exercises can help prevent back pain. Stretching exercises can relieve lower back pain from spina bifida occulta. Exercises that strengthen the muscles around the spine, like head resistance exercises, are also effective. Using a stability ball for exercises like sit-ups and lifts from the stomach can strengthen core muscles to support the spine. Dr. Novelli recommends performing back exercises in the morning to prevent stiffness and pain during the day.

Lumbar spondylolisthesis ppt (4)
Degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis is a condition where one vertebra slips over the one below due to degenerative changes in the spine. It commonly occurs at the L4-L5 level and is associated with low back and leg pain. Non-surgical treatment options include bracing, flexion exercises to strengthen the spine, stabilization exercises, and epidural steroid injections, with the goal of reducing pain and improving function. Surgical intervention is considered if non-surgical options fail to provide relief from persistent or progressive pain and neurological symptoms.
Shoulder dislocation with physiotherapy management
The document summarizes the types, diagnosis, treatment, and physiotherapy management of shoulder dislocations. There are three main types of shoulder dislocations - anterior, posterior, and luxatio erecta. Anterior dislocations are the most common, often caused by a fall on an outstretched hand. Treatment involves reduction, immobilization for 3 weeks, followed by a mobilization phase and physiotherapy to regain full range of motion. Physiotherapy focuses on strengthening muscles around the shoulder and regaining passive range of motion to prevent recurrent dislocations and return to full function.
Torticollis
Torticollis is a condition characterized by an abnormal twisting of the neck which causes the head to tilt to one side. It has many potential causes including birth injuries, infections, muscle injuries or tightness. Symptoms include limited neck movement, neck pain and a shoulder that appears higher on one side. Treatment depends on the underlying cause but may involve gentle stretching, physical therapy, medications, or in rare cases surgery. The document defines different types of torticollis and discusses evaluation and treatment approaches.
Iliotibial Band Syndrome (Itbs)
Iliotibial Band Syndrome (ITBS) is an overuse injury of the iliotibial band, a thick fascia that runs down the outside of the thigh. ITBS is caused by training errors like increasing mileage too quickly, running on uneven surfaces, or having poor form. Anatomical factors like tight muscles or leg length differences can also contribute. Diagnosis involves pain tests like the Renne Test or Noble Compression Test. Treatment starts with rest, ice, stretching, and anti-inflammatories. Later stages may include corticosteroid injections, surgery for refractory cases. Prevention focuses on gradual mileage increases, proper footwear, stretching, and avoiding uneven terrain.

Kyphosis
A 28-year-old male presents with a profound rounded back (kyphosis) with a 95 degree curvature of the thoracic spine. His posture has progressively worsened and he suffers from low back pain likely due to compensation in his lumbar spine. X-rays and MRI are planned to evaluate the degree of curvature and identify any vertebral abnormalities. Treatment options include exercises, bracing, and surgery to reduce the curvature if it exceeds 75 degrees. The goals of surgery are to straighten the spine, maintain correction, and alleviate back pain.
Iliotibial Band Syndrome Inservice
This study examined hip abductor strength in long distance runners with ITBS compared to uninjured runners. Runners with ITBS had weaker hip abductors on their injured side compared to their uninjured side and controls. Both male and female runners who completed a 6-week physical therapy program of hip abductor strengthening exercises achieved strength levels equal to or greater than their uninjured side and controls. Most runners were able to successfully return to running following the strengthening intervention. While the study included multiple treatments, it provides evidence that hip abductor weakness may play a role in ITBS and strengthening can help return runners to sport.
CEREBRAL PALSY
This document provides an overview of cerebral palsy, including:
- Cerebral palsy is caused by non-progressive damage to the developing brain that causes motor impairments. Common types include spastic diplegia, hemiplegia, and quadriplegia.
- Insults can occur prenatally, perinatally, or postnatally from factors like genetic disorders, infections, or trauma.
- Treatment is multidisciplinary and may include medications, physical therapy, bracing, and surgery to address secondary deformities like contractures. Surgical procedures are aimed at improving function, mobility, and care.
SCOLIOSIS assessment, types and management
Scoliosis is an abnormal curvature of the spine that can occur in childhood or adolescence. It involves lateral curvature in the coronal plane as well as spinal rotation in the axial plane. Scoliosis is classified as either structural or non-structural. Structural scoliosis is permanent and involves bony deformities, while non-structural scoliosis is temporary and only involves curvature. The most common type of scoliosis is idiopathic scoliosis, which develops in adolescence and accounts for 90% of scoliosis cases in children. Scoliosis is assessed using Cobb's angle measurement, Adam's forward bend test, and a scoliometer. Treatment may involve bracing or surgery depending on the severity
Klippel feil syndrome
Klippel-Feil syndrome is a congenital condition where two or more cervical vertebrae are fused. It is caused by mutations in genes GDF6 and GDF3 which regulate bone growth. People with Klippel-Feil syndrome have a short neck, limited neck movement, and sometimes scoliosis. Diagnosis involves x-rays and MRIs showing fused vertebrae. Treatment focuses on pain management through medications, physical therapy, and sometimes surgery to correct spinal abnormalities.
Cervical disc prolapse
Cervical disc prolapse occurs when a cervical disc herniates and compresses the nerve root. The cervical spine has 7 vertebrae and 6 intervertebral discs that act as shock absorbers and allow motion. A disc is composed of an inner nucleus pulposus surrounded by the outer annulus fibrosus. Common sites of prolapse are C5-C6 and C6-C7. Clinical features include neck pain radiating to the arm. Imaging like MRI or CT is used to confirm prolapse. Treatment involves rest, medications, traction and surgery like anterior cervical discectomy if non-operative measures fail.
Meniscus injury
This document discusses meniscus injuries of the knee. It describes the anatomy and functions of the medial and lateral meniscus. Common types of meniscal tears are described based on location and pattern. Physical exam maneuvers for diagnosing meniscal tears include Thessaly test, McMurray's test, and Apley's grinding test. MRI is the most sensitive imaging method. Treatment involves initial rest, ice, and NSAIDs for minor tears. Surgery options include partial meniscectomy, meniscal repair, or meniscal transplantation for more severe tears. The goal of treatment is to relieve symptoms and prevent further joint damage.
Spinal canal stenosis
The document discusses spinal canal stenosis, including:
1. It describes spinal canal stenosis as the narrowing of the spinal canal and compression of the spinal cord and nerve roots, most commonly occurring in the lumbar vertebrae.
2. Symptoms include back pain radiating into the legs, numbness, and weakness that is relieved by bending forward and made worse by standing upright or walking.
3. Treatment options range from non-surgical approaches like medication, physical therapy, and epidural injections for mild-to-moderate cases to surgical decompression like laminectomy or the X-STOP implant for more severe cases.

Spinal cord injury (sci) Rehab
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.
Tarsal tunnel syndrome
Tarsal tunnel syndrome involves compression of the tibial nerve as it passes beneath the flexor retinaculum in the ankle. It causes pain, numbness and tingling in the foot. Non-surgical treatments include orthotics, stretching, weight loss and activity modification. Surgery to release the flexor retinaculum may be considered if non-surgical options fail. Anterior tarsal tunnel syndrome is a similar condition affecting the deep peroneal nerve. Risk factors include ankle injuries and activities that put repetitive stress on the ankle.
Poliomyelitis & its Physiotherapeutic Management
Some key points include:
- Polio is caused by infection with the poliovirus and can lead to paralysis of muscles.
- It spreads via the fecal-oral or respiratory routes and infects the anterior horn cells of the spinal cord.
- Clinical features may include fever, neck rigidity, asymmetric limb paralysis that often affects the legs. Respiratory muscles can be involved.
- Treatment focuses on supportive care, splinting to prevent deformities, physiotherapy to
Spina bifida and physiotherapy
This document discusses spina bifida, including:
- Defining spina bifida as an incomplete closure of the neural tube, usually in the lumbar or sacral region.
- Describing the different types from spina bifida occulta to myelomeningocele.
- Detailing the various clinical presentations depending on the location and severity, including neurological deficits, hydrocephalus, orthopedic issues.
- Explaining that treatment involves surgery to cover or untether the spinal cord, along with medications, physical/occupational therapy, and follow-up to address complications.
- Emphasizing prevention through adequate folate intake before and during pregnancy to reduce the risk of spina bifida
Shoulder impingement syndrome
Shoulder impingement occurs when the rotator cuff tendons are compressed and abraded as they pass under the coracoacromial arch during arm elevation. It can result from acute overload, degeneration, or chronic overuse. The rotator cuff comprises four muscles that originate on the scapula and insert on the humerus. Etiologies include bony factors like acromial shape that reduce space, soft tissue impingement, and degenerative or traumatic tendon failure. Physical exam assesses muscle strength and special tests like Neer and Hawkins that reproduce pain. Treatment progresses from rest, PT to restore motion and strength, and injections to surgery for partial or full thickness tears.
Congenital muscular torticollis
This document provides an overview of congenital muscular torticollis (CMT). CMT is caused by shortening of the sternocleidomastoid muscle at birth and results in an inclined neck. It affects 0.3-2.0% of live births. Diagnosis is based on history and examination. Treatment involves gentle stretching exercises before age 12 months. Surgery to lengthen the muscle may be considered for older children if conservative treatment fails. Surgical techniques aim to release the tight sternocleidomastoid muscle while avoiding injury to nearby nerves and vessels. Post-operative immobilization and exercises are used to prevent recontracture. Early treatment generally results in over 90% success rate.

Kyphosis lordosis
The document discusses different types of spinal curvature abnormalities including kyphosis, lordosis, and scoliosis. It defines each condition and describes their causes, symptoms, diagnostic tests, and treatment options. There are three main types of kyphosis - postural, Scheuermann's, and congenital. Lordosis is an inward curvature of the lumbar or cervical spine that can be caused by factors like poor posture or congenital abnormalities. Scoliosis is a lateral curvature of the spine that can be idiopathic, congenital, or neuromuscular in origin. Treatment depends on the underlying cause but may include exercises, bracing, or corrective surgery.
19. torticollis
Torticollis is a condition where the head is tilted to one side and the chin points to the opposite side, causing the neck to twist in an asymmetrical appearance. It is caused by an imbalance in the sternocleidomastoid muscle. Symptoms include a stiff neck, limited range of motion, and for infants, tilting of the chin. Treatments include physical therapy like stretching and massage to improve range of motion, NSAIDs or muscle relaxants for pain relief, and in severe cases, Botox injections or surgery may be used. The goal of physical therapy is to improve head and neck mobility and positioning.
Kyphosis
Kyphosis is an excessive outward curvature of the spine that results in an abnormal rounding of the upper back. There are several types of kyphosis, with the most common being postural kyphosis caused by poor posture and weak back muscles. Symptoms may include back pain and muscle spasms. Treatment options include exercises to improve posture and strengthen back muscles, bracing, and in severe cases, surgery to correct the spinal curvature. Physiotherapy focuses on stretching tight muscles and strengthening weak back muscles to improve posture and reduce pain.

Spina Bifida presentation
Spina bifida is a birth defect that occurs when the bones of the spine do not form properly, leaving the spinal cord exposed or causing a gap in the spine. It occurs in about 1 in 1000 births and there are three main types that vary in severity from mild to severe. While the exact cause is unknown, genetic and environmental factors like obesity and diabetes in the mother may play a role. Symptoms depend on the type and severity but can include dimples or swelling on the back as well as nerve damage and paralysis in more severe cases. Treatment options vary from observation for mild cases to surgery to repair the spine for more severe types with spinal cord or nerve involvement.
Spina bifida
Spina bifida is a birth defect where the backbone and spinal canal do not close before birth, causing part of the spinal cord to protrude out of the back. It affects around 1 in 800 infants and can range from a mild condition where the spine does not fully close to more severe cases where parts of the spinal cord and membranes protrude out. Symptoms include issues with bladder/bowel control, paralysis, and hydrocephalus in many cases. Prenatal screening and folic acid supplementation can help reduce risks, while surgery after birth and lifelong treatment can address symptoms and complications.

2. Upper and middle back pain is less common than lower back or neck pain because those areas have less flexibility. The back works to keep the spine stable and protect organs.
3. Small lifestyle changes can help prevent back pain and disability, such as maintaining good posture, avoiding heavy lifting, and exercising the back and core muscles.

The document discusses core muscles and core stability. It defines the core as the center of the body that functions to stabilize the trunk during movement. The core includes muscles of the hips, torso, and shoulders. A strong, stable core is important for preventing injuries and improving performance by allowing the efficient transfer of force throughout the body. Rather than exercises like crunches that involve large ranges of motion, functional exercises are recommended to enhance core stability, including planks, Russian twists, and alternating heel touches. Proper form and technique are important when building core stability.

Corrective Exercises for spinal structure
This document provides exercises to address three spinal conditions: scoliosis, hyperlordosis, and kyphosis. For scoliosis, it recommends exercises to strengthen the core, improve proprioception, and maintain proper posture. Specific exercises mentioned include pelvic tilts, cat-camel stretches, and single leg balances. For hyperlordosis (excessive lower back curve), it suggests releasing tight lower back muscles with a massage ball and performing lower back stretches, lateral stretches, hip flexor stretches, and bridges. For kyphosis (hunched upper back), mirroring correct posture, head retraction, Superman poses, and foam rolling the mid back are recommended exercises.
Easy to do leg exercises
The best way to workout the legs according to experts is by doing exercises that are slow and tire out the muscles. Leg exercises not only make your legs look great, but they also build stamina and strength.
Sciatica
The spine consists of four main areas and contains disks that act as cushions between vertebrae. Low back pain and sciatica can arise from problems with these disks such as damage from wear and tear or sudden force. Various yoga poses and stretches can help relieve low back pain and sciatica by opening the hips, strengthening the back, and relaxing tight muscles. Poses like cat-cow, butterfly, and pigeon aim to increase flexibility while poses like cobra and downward dog aim to build strength.
POSTURE AND YOU.pptx
Poor posture can develop from injuries, diseases, habits, weakness, improper clothing, lack of exercise, occupation, pregnancy, pain, obesity, joint dysfunction, stress, central nervous system disorders, overwork, prolonged postures, and muscle fatigue. Poor posture can lead to sore muscles, spinal curvature changes, subluxations, blood vessel constriction, and nerve compression. Physiotherapy can help assess, diagnose, educate, and treat poor posture through manual therapy, exercises, and activity modifications. Maintaining good posture involves sitting, standing, lifting, and lying in ways that keep the spine's natural curves in alignment. Immediate attention to poor posture is needed to prevent long-term postural defects.

Performance Strategies Core strength: It’s not all about sit-upsU.S. Army Garrison Red Cloud and Area I
Core strength is important for balance, posture, performance and injury prevention. It involves strengthening muscles in the back, hips, quads and glutes, not just the abdominal muscles. Injuries to the back and lower extremities account for 40% of military injuries and weak core muscles can cause back pain. To fully strengthen the core, it is important to perform different types of exercises that work various core muscle groups, not just repetitions of the same exercises like sit-ups. Some strategies recommended for building core strength include yoga, Pilates, dance classes, exercises using equipment like stability balls, and functional fitness programs focused on daily living activities.Similar to Spina bifida (20)

Mercurius is named after the roman god mercurius, the god of trade and science. The planet mercurius is named after the same god. Mercurius is sometimes called hydrargyrum, means ‘watery silver’. Its shine and colour are very similar to silver, but mercury is a fluid at room temperatures. The name quick silver is a translation of hydrargyrum, where the word quick describes its tendency to scatter away in all directions.
The droplets have a tendency to conglomerate to one big mass, but on being shaken they fall apart into countless little droplets again. It is used to ignite explosives, like mercury fulminate, the explosive character is one of its general themes.

Spina bifida
- 2. Introduction: •The spinal column is a structure of bones called vertebrae that protect the cable of nerves that run throughout the body. The general term for a group of conditions affecting the spinal column is spina bifida occulta. • According to the Spina Bifida Association, many physicians refer to the various spinal conditions as vertebral fusion defects to disassociate the defects from spina bifida, which is a serious spinal cord birth defect that causes extensive nerve damage. •Spina bifida occulta rarely causes symptoms, though general wellness practices and strong core and lower body exercises can help prevent back pain and foot drop that often occur from the disease.
- 3. •Features A common symptom of spina bifida occulta is persistent lower back pain. According to the Spina Bifida Association, a regular routine of stretching exercises can relieve that pain and keep your spine limber. Perform hamstring stretches, lower back and hip flexor stretches as well as heel stretches daily to prevent the discomfort. Sustain stretches without bouncing to avoid injury. •Function The most effective exercises to relieve back pain from spina bifida occulta disorders are those that strengthen the muscles surrounding the spine, according to chiropractor Dr. Stephen A. Novelli. For example, head resistance exercises work to strengthen the top of the spine by providing resistance from your hands as you push your head against them in various positions. Your core muscles support your back effectively and are strengthened by exercises that target the abdominals, obliques and gluteus
- 4. •Types Stability balls or exercise balls are effective pieces of exercise equipment that can help to strengthen your core muscles to better support your spine. Performing sit-ups while lying back against a stability ball enhances the core-strengthening power of the exercise. An effective back strengthening exercise is to lie on the ball on your stomach with your hands locked behind your head. Slowly lift your upper body and hold the position for a few counts before lowering back down and repeating 10 times. •Time Frame Dr. Novelli recommends performing back exercises first thing in the morning before your spinal malformations can stiffen up and cause you pain during the day. Make it a habit to get on the floor or on your stability ball each morning to run through a set of repetitions followed by stretching. Even if you take time to perform a few exercises in the bed before your feet hit the floor, you will be better able to cope with your spinal problems throughout the day.
