Rehabilitation of a Patient with Wedge Compression with Paraplegia: A Case Report

Abstract

Background: Despite the most significant efforts of many experts to provide natural therapeutic therapies, spinal cord injury (SCI) is a traumatic event with limited functional recovery. After a spinal cord injury, paraplegia can develop. Damage to the ligaments, vertebrae, or discs of the spinal column causes this. Paraplegia is the loss of muscle function in the lower half of the body, including both legs. Leg paralysis, in this case in which affects all parts of the pelvic organs, legs, and torso. This is partly owing to the complex character of SCI, which involves a great deal of disarray and malfunction as a result of the initial injury. Secondary degeneration is caused by neurotoxicity, vascular malfunction, neuroinflammation, apoptosis, and demyelination.
 Presentation of Case: 34year old male patient with wedge compression was diagnosed on x-ray after a fall from the tree.
 Discussion: The requirements for regeneration, rehabilitation, and neuroprotection appear to necessitate a diverse set of therapeutic approaches that can be used at different stages of the post-injury response.
 Conclusion: We'll focus on one strategy, in particular, physical training/exercise, which looks to have a wide range of applications and benefits for those with a chronic or acute SCI.

Positive Outcomes of Physiotherapy Intervention in a Wedge Compression Fracture of the L1 Vertebra: A Case Report

“…Early rehabilitation involvement by the patient helped him avoid more significant complications including joint contractures and pressure sores. Early rehabilitation assistance is essential to the healing of patients with spinal column injuries [ 20 ].…”

Comprehensive Rehabilitation of Post-Operative Paraplegic Patient: A Case Report

“…Clinical indications of SCI may include a partial or complete loss of perception and/or functional ability immediately below the level of injury, depending on the extent and location of the damage [ 3 ]. Injuries in the lower thorax can result in paraplegia, whereas those in the cervical region might result in quadriplegia [ 4 ].…”

“…There are two stages in SCI: the first one, which consists of two mechanical injuries, glial cells and neurons and their surroundings; and the second one, which includes vasculature, the environmental deterioration that is pervasive in spinal cord cells [ 4 ]. Fractures and vertebral dislocation are common outcomes of acute SCI, which frequently stems from rapid trauma to the spine [ 5 ].…”
