Rehabilitation sciences 3060a lecture 2: spinal cord injury i. Sci lecture outline: discuss sci epidemiology compare and contrast to stroke, understand etiology (cause) of sci. 3: discuss motor and sensory assessment, case scenario work highlight sci impairments. Stroke incidence is 1. 3x greater for males than females. Other trauma includes recreational sport 10% Traumatic is more common and presents with more specific needs. The level of the lesion in the spinal cord. Lower down on spinal cord = more overall movement you are expected to have. Paraplegia (50%) partial/complete paralysis of part of trunk and all of lower extremities. Tetraplegia (quadriplegia) (50%) partial/complete paralysis of all 4 extremities and trunk. When we classify sci by the level of the spinal cord lesion, we . Indicate the most distal uninvolved nerve root segment that has normal function (sometimes termed the neurological level) Recall anatomical terminology in terms of spinal segments: Case scenario #1: level of the lesion example.
