(SCI) IS DAMAGE TO THE
SPINAL CORD THAT
RESULTS IN A LOSS OF A
FUNCTION SUCH AS
MOBILITY AND FEELING .

6. DYSFUNCTION OF SPINAL
CORD INJURY :
•COMPLETE TRANSECTION OF SPINAL CORD .
•INCOMPLETE TRANSECTION OF SPINAL CORD .
•SPINAL MENINGITIS .
•HERNIATED ( RUPTURED ) INTERVERTEBRAL
DISK .

7. 1. COMPLETE
TRANSECTIONS OF
SPINAL CORD INJURY .
•COMPLETE SPINAL CORD INJURIE OCCUR
WHEN THE SPINAL CORD IS FULLY
COMPRESSED OR SEVERED, COMPLETELY
ELIMINATIONG THE BRAIN ‘S ABILITY TO SEND
SIGNALS BELOW THE POINT OF INJURY .

9. 2. INCOMPLETE
TRANSECTION OF SPINAL
CORD INJURY .
•INCOMPLETE SPINAL CORD INJURY OCCUR
WHEN THE SPINAL CORD IS COMPRESSED OR
INJURED, BUT THE BRAIN’S ABILITY TO SEND
SIGNALS BELOW THE SITE OF INJURY IS NOT
COMPLETELY REMOVED

11. COMPLETE AND INCOMPLETE
SPINAL CORD INJURIES ARE
CAUSED BY :
IT CAN CAUSED BY PHYSICAL TRAUMA . THEY ARE :
• CAR ACCIDENT
• FALLS
• VIOLENCE , PRIMARY GUNSHOT WOUNDS
• SPORTS

13. HALLMARKS OF A COMPLETE
SPINAL CORD INJURY :
• LOSS OF SENSATION BELOW THE SITE OF THE INJURY .
• COMPLETE LOSS OF MOTION BELOW THE SITE OF THE
INJURY .
• IF THE INJURY IS HIGH ENOUGH IN YOUR SPINAL CORD ,
DIFFICULTY BREATHING ON YOUR OWN

14. HALLMARKS OF AN
INCOMPLETE SPINAL CORD
INJURY :• RETAINING SOME SENSATION BELOW THE SITE OF THE INJURY .
• BEING ABLE TO MOVE SOME MUSCLES BELOW THE SITE OF THE
INJURYB.
• PAIN BELOW THE INJURY; MANY INCOMPLETE SPINAL CORD INJURY
SURVIVORS REPORT ISSUES WITH CHRONIC PAIN .

15. TREATMENT AND RECOVERY
:
•LOCATION OF THE INJURY . THE HIGHER THE
INJURY IS , THE MORE UNLIKELY RECOVERY
BECOMES .
•YOUR OVERALL HEALTH .
•YOUR COMMITMENT TO PHYSICAL THERAPY .

16. SPINAL MENINGITIS :
•SPINAL MENINGITIS IS AN INFECTION OF
THE FLUID AND MEMBRANES AROUND
THE BRAIN AND SPINAL CORD . ONCE
INFECTION STARTS, IT CAN SPREAD
RAPIDLY THROUGH THE BODY .

20. CAUSES OF MENINGITIS :
•ACUTE BACTERIAL MENINGITIS .
•VIRAL MENINGITIS .
•NONINFECTIOUS MENINGITIS .
•RECURRENT MENINGITIS .
•SUBACUTE OR CHEONIC MENINGITIS .

21. SYMPTOMS OF MENINGITIS :
•A PAINFUL, STIFF NECK .
•HEADACHE .
•FEVER

22. TREATMENT OF MENINGITIS :
•FOR MENINGITIS DUE TO AN
INFECTION, ANTIMICROBIAL DRUGS.

23. HERNIATED DISK :
• HERNIATED DISK OR RUPTURED DISK, OCCURS
WHEN SOME OF THE SOFTER “JELLY” PUSHES OUT
THROUGH A TEAR IN THE TOUGHER EXTERIOR . A
HERNIATED DISK CAN IRRITATE NEARBY NERVES
AND RESULT IN PAIN , NUMBNESS OR WEAKNESS IN
AN ARM OR LEG .

27. CAUSES OF HERNIATED DISK
:
•IMPROPER LIFTING .
•EXCESSIVE BODY WEIGHT THAT PLACES
ADDED STRESS ON THE DISKS .
•SUDDEN PRESSURE .

28. SYMPTOMS OF HERNIATED
DISK :
•BACK PAIN .
•WEAKNESS IN ONE ARM OR IN THE LEG
AND /OR FOOT .
•TINGLING .

29. TREATMENT OF HERNIATED
DISK :
•NONSURGICAL TREATMENT :
1. REST NEEDED
2. MUSCLE RELAXERS .
3. ICING

30. • SURGICAL TREATMENT :
•LUMBAR MICRODISKECTOMY .
•CERVICAL DISKECTOMY AND
FUSION.

31. SUMMARY :
•SO I JUST DISCUSS ABOUT WHAT IS
SPINAL CORD INJURY . TYPES OF
SPINAL CORD INJURIES . ITS CAUSES,
SYMPTOMS AND TREATMENT
