Question
Answer
What does lesion level indicate?   Most distal uninvolved nerve root segment with normal function MMT 3+/5  
🗑
Characteristics of UMN lesion.   Hypertonia Hyperreflexia Spacticity CNS  
🗑
Characteristics of LMN lesion.   Hypotonia Hyporeflexia Flaccidity PNS  
🗑
Central Cord losses   UE > LE involvement Motor > Sensory  
🗑
Central Cord Complete Preservation   Sacral tracts Normal Sexual Function B & B  
🗑
Type of injury sustained from Central Cord   Hyperextension (less common)  
🗑
Type of injury sustained from Anterior Cord   Flexion Injury  
🗑
Anterior Cord losses   Motor function (Corticospinal tract) Pain and Temp (spinothalamic tract)  
🗑
Generally Preserved in Anterior Cord injury   Proprioception Kinesthesia Vibration Sense  
🗑
Sign of Corticospinal tract damage   Positive Babinski  
🗑
Level of Cauda Equina   L1 or below  
🗑
Syndrome associated with LMN and potential to regenerate   Cauda Equina (full innervation not typical)  
🗑
Frequently incomplete due to large number of nerve roots   Cauda Equina  
🗑
Cord level associated with tetraplegia/quadraplegia   C1 - C8  
🗑
Cord level associated with Paraplegia   T1 - T12  
🗑
Involving bilateral LE and varying trunk levels   Paraplegia  
🗑
Common SCI mechanisms of injury   Flexion (most Common) Flexion Rotation (most common cervical injury) Compression Hyperextension  
🗑
Mode of injury associated with Brown-Sequard syndrome   Gunshot or stabbing  
🗑
Presents with ipsilateral loss of sensation in corresponding dermatome   Brown-Sequard  
🗑
Decreases associated with Brown-Sequard   reflexes, proprioception, kinesthesia, vibration  
🗑
Lateral Dorsal Column injury   Brown-Sequard  
🗑
Syndrome presenting with clonus and/or positive Babinski   Brown-Sequard  
🗑
Cause associated with Central Cord syndrome   Progressive stenosis or hyperextension injury  
🗑
Cause of Posterior/Dorsal Cord Syndrome   Compression of posterior spinal artery by tumor or vascular infarction (Rare)  
🗑
Intact functions of Posterior Syndrome   Motor, light touch and pain  
🗑
Losses associated with Posterior Syndrome   Proprioception and Somatic sensation i.e. 2 point discrimination and graphesthesia  
🗑
S & S of Sacral Sparing   Perianal Sensation and external anal sphincter contraction  
🗑
Explain Sacral Sparing   Occurs in incomplete injuries. Because sacral tracts run most medially within spinal cord, they are often salvaged. Patients may be able to flex great toe and have B&B control.  
🗑
Most caudal segment with some sensory or motor function (or both) and applies to complete injuries only.   Zone of partial preservation  
🗑
Asia Scale Level and Key Muscles   C5 Elbow Flexors C6 Wrist Extensors C7 Elbow Extensors C8 Finger Flexors T1 Finger Abductors L2 Hip Flexors L3 Knee Extensors L4 Dorsiflexors L5 Big Toe Extensors S1 Ankle Plantar Flexors  
🗑
Asia Impairment Scale   A = Complete - no motor/sensory S4-5 B = Incomplete - sensory in S4-5 C = Incomplete - Motor preserved,> 50% key muscles have grade < 3 D = Incomplete - Motor preserved, 50% key muscles grade 3 or more E = Normal  
🗑
Muscles and Functional Expectations C1,2,3   Facial muscles , SCM, upper traps I= Power WC Total dependence ADL's Requires Ventilator  
🗑
Muscles and Functional Expectations C4   Diaphragm and Upper Traps Power WC w/chin cup or mouth stick Total dependence ADL's Glossopharyngeal Breathing  
🗑
Muscles and Functional Expectations T4-6   Top 1/2 of intercostals, erector spine, semispinalis I in all areas: Bed skills, WC transfers, Housekeeping  
🗑
Muscles and Functional Expectations T9-12   Abdominals and all intercostals Household Ambulation with AD - KAFO/crutches/walker I WC mobility  
🗑
