What are the four signs of spinal cord injury, and how do you recover?

Sensory deficits such as decreased or lost sensation of pain and temperature are preceded by the present; Secondly, abnormal reflexes are also one of the symptoms of spinal cord injury; There is also the disorder of the autonomic nervous system; There are also cases of movement disorders that indicate that the spinal cord has been damaged, because spinal cord injury can cause paraplegia or quadriplegia, so it is necessary to carry out corresponding physical therapy and functional exercises to restore and strengthen the muscles.

The typical clinical presentation of spinal cord injury is the partial or complete loss of limb sensory and motor functions below the level of injury, resulting in a range of dysfunctions:

1.Serious effects on sexual and reproductive function.

2.Severe pain or tingling. 4. Hyperreflexia and muscle spasms.

3.Difficulty breathing, inability to cough, productive production and other respiratory dysfunctions. In addition, spinal cord injuries can cause a range of complications:

1.Urinary retention.

2.Genitourinary tract infections are recurrent.

3.Respiratory failure.

4.Pressure ulcers. 5.Disorders of body temperature.

6.Muscle atrophy caused by long-term activity.

7.Some metabolic diseases, such as obesity and diabetes, are at higher risk.

8.Depression and other psychiatric disorders.

Typical symptoms. Movement disorders: due to cervical spinal cord injury, the function of the limbs can be problematic, manifested as quadriplegia, thoracic, lumbar or sacrococcygeal injury, and the paralysis is mostly in the lower limbs.

Sensory disturbances: paresthesias or hypothesias in the trunk and limbs below the level of injury.

Pain: more patients have unclearly described pain.

2. Defecation disorder: inability to control urine and bowel movements.

Other symptoms. Thermostatia: After cervical spinal cord injury, the level below the injury level can not sweat, and the function of regulating and adapting to temperature changes is lost, and it is often easy to produce high fever, and the body temperature can reach more than 40.

Syndrome. Respiratory failure and respiratory tract infection: neck 1 and neck 2 injuries can lead to complete paralysis of the intercostal muscles, and the injured person dies immediately at the scene, neck 3, neck 4, and neck 5 injuries are prone to early respiratory failure, and only the lower cervical spine is injured to retain abdominal breathing, but the ventilator strength is insufficient, and the airway resistance increases, so that the secretions cannot be excluded from the body, and those who lie down for a long time produce falling pneumonia, and respiratory tract infections can occur within a week.

Urinary tract infection: The injured need long-term indwelling urinary catheter due to urinary retention, which is prone to urinary tract infection, and may have painful urination and frequent urination.

Pressure ulcers: patients are bedridden for a long time, ** loss of consciousness, and are prone to pressure ulcers.

Early symptoms. Early spinal cord injury may lead to loss of sensation and shock.

Moderate to late stage symptoms.

Gluteal muscle atrophy, incontinence, dyspnea, and spasmodic paralysis of the limbs may occur.

The typical clinical presentation of spinal cord injury is the partial or complete loss of limb sensory and motor functions below the level of injury, resulting in a range of dysfunctions:

1.Serious effects on sexual and reproductive function.

2.Severe pain or tingling. 4. Hyperreflexia and muscle spasms.

3.Difficulty breathing, inability to cough, productive production and other respiratory dysfunctions. In addition, spinal cord injuries can cause a range of complications:

1.Urinary retention.

2.Genitourinary tract infections are recurrent.

3.Respiratory failure.

4.Pressure ulcers. 5.Disorders of body temperature.

6.Muscle atrophy caused by long-term activity.

7.Some metabolic diseases, such as obesity and diabetes, are at higher risk.

8.Depression and other psychiatric disorders.

The main clinical manifestations of spinal cord injury include, during spinal shock, manifested by flaccid paralysis below the level of injury, loss of movement, reflexes and sphincter function, loss of sensory level and inability to control urine and bowel movements, and gradually evolve into spastic paralysis after 2 to 4 weeks, manifested by increased muscle tone, hyperreflexia, and pathological pyramidal tract signs. Thoracic spinal cord injury is manifested as paraplegia, cervical spinal cord injury is manifested as quadriplegia, quadriplegia with upper cervical spine injury is spastic paralysis, lower cervical spine injury is due to the destruction of spinal cord distension and nerve roots, upper limb is manifested as flaccid paralysis, and lower limb is spastic paralysis.

The manifestations of spinal cord injury include: 1. Injury location: thoracolumbar injury, which is mainly manifested as decreased muscle strength of the lower limbs, also known as paraplegia; Cervical spinal cord injury manifests as quadriplegia; 2. Degree of damage:

Depending on the severity of the injury, it can be divided into complete injury and incomplete injury. Complete injury is characterized by complete loss of sensory and motor function below the level of injury; Incomplete injury is manifested by partial loss of sensory, motor, and sphincter function below the level of injury, such as neurogenic bladder dysfunction, neurogenic rectal dysfunction The typical clinical manifestation of spinal cord injury is the partial or complete loss of sensory and motor function of the limb below the level of injury, resulting in a range of dysfunctions: severe sexual and reproductive function.

Three. Severe pain or tingling. 4. Hyperreflexia and muscle spasms.

5. Dyspnea, inability to cough, sputum production and other respiratory dysfunctions. In addition, spinal cord injuries can cause a range of complications:1.

Urinary retention. 2. Genitourinary tract infection reflux. Three.

Respiratory failure. 4. Pressure ulcers. 5. Disorders of body temperature.

6. Muscle atrophy caused by long-term activity. 7 Some metabolic diseases, such as obesity and diabetes, are at higher risk. 8. Depression and other psychiatric disorders.

The only thing you can do is to shoot frequently to prevent pressure sores. It is an exercise to reduce comorbidities that patients who cannot recover their nerves after Western medical surgery. It is not very helpful in restoring the damaged nerve (and delays the onset of avascular spinal cord degeneration and necrosis).

Only by properly regenerating and repairing the damaged spinal cord can the nerves be restored to innervate and regulate various functions such as movement and stool. And **time is very limited, there is only one opportunity, delay**and**inappropriate, the damaged spinal cord will be degenerative and necrotic due to too long ischemia, and the residual symptoms will be accompanied for life. High paraplegia causes cramps, stiffness, etc.

**Scheme 1: Use traditional Chinese medicine to enhance and improve spinal cord blood circulation, so that the damaged nerves can get sufficient blood supply. 2. Combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine to nutrition nerves. 3. Use nerve regeneration drugs to activate the nerves that are paralyzed and in shock after damage, so that the damaged nerves can be regenerated and repaired in order to obtain the best recovery.

The exercise prescription should be professionally designed according to the condition. Hint, time is limited, and there is only one chance. You need help to send a pre- and post-operative magnetic resonance** to guide you.

Deaths in patients with spinal cord injury can be divided into two categories: early and late. Early death occurs within 1 to 2 weeks of injury and is more common in cervical spinal cord injury, and the cause of death is persistent high fever, hypothermia, respiratory failure, or heart failure. Late death occurs months or years later, mostly caused by pressure sores, urinary tract infection, respiratory tract infection, nutritional failure, etc., and late death can occur from cervical spinal cord and thoracolumbar cord injury.

The Orthopaedic Center of Beijing 304 Hospital reminds everyone that there is no certain boundary between early and late death, and the vast majority of spinal cord injury patients die from complications. However, if it can be prevented and treated, and a good **** can be given, the patient can not only survive for a long time, but also be able to sit, stand, walk, and even participate in work, which shows the importance of preventing and treating complications.

Turn-over training: Sitting balance training.

Spinal cord injury includes many aspects: acupuncture, massage, physiotherapy, external and internal administration of traditional Chinese medicine, functional training, etc.
