Retrospective Study Of Long-Term Medical Complications In Spinal Cord Injured Patients, Hui-Wen Yu, Su-Ju Tsai, Fan-Fei Tseng, Yu-Hui Huang, Ying-Ju Shih, Liu-Ing Bih
Rehabilitation Practice and Science
In order to determine the prevalence of medical complications after spinal cord injury, 52 patients who received regular follow up in a rehabilitation hospital (average 14.1 years) were studied. Medical records were reviewarticleed and analyzed, including demographic data, onset duration, neurological level, locomotion, reason for visiting doctor's office, rehospitalization, medication usage, and surgical intervention. The most common complication encountered was constipation (82.7%). Other common complications were neurogenic bladder dysfunction (80.8%), urinary tract infection (75.0%), musculoskeletal pain (71.2%), spasticity (67.3%) and gastrointestinal disturbance (51.9%). reviewarticleing the medical records in the most recent year, constipation was still the most common complication (46.2%). …
Gabapentin For Treatment Of Neuropathic Pain In Patients With Spinal Cord Injury, Chao-Min Wang, Yen-Ho Wang
Gabapentin For Treatment Of Neuropathic Pain In Patients With Spinal Cord Injury, Chao-Min Wang, Yen-Ho Wang
Rehabilitation Practice and Science
The patients with spinal cord injury suffer from motor and sensory impairment with bowel and bladder dysfunction. However, chronic neuropathic pain is also a common complaint after spinal cord injury and is usually refractory to many therapies. The exact mechanism of relieving hyperalgesia and allodynia is still unknown, but most believed it is related to N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor and voltage-dependent calcium channel. Gabapentin is supposed to be an antagonist of NMDA receptor complex which mediates an influx of calcium ions when activated. In addition, gabapentin inhibits neuronal calcium influx in a calcium channel by binding to the α2δ subunit of …
Does Shortwave Diathermy Reduce The Intractable Spasticity Of Patients With Spinal Cord Injury?, Hung-Tzu Su, Tien-Wen Chen, Ming-Cheng Weng, Chia-Ling Lee, Mao-Hsiung Huang
Does Shortwave Diathermy Reduce The Intractable Spasticity Of Patients With Spinal Cord Injury?, Hung-Tzu Su, Tien-Wen Chen, Ming-Cheng Weng, Chia-Ling Lee, Mao-Hsiung Huang
Rehabilitation Practice and Science
Spasticity is a hallmark of an upper motor neuron disorder and represents the most important impairments for individuals who care for patients with central nervous system disease. It may have an adverse effect on rehabilitation training. Shortwave diathermy is a modality that produces deep heat. It is usually used to relieve pain and stiffness, promote wound healing and relieve deep muscle spasm.In the present case, we show a 52-year-old male patient with spinal cord injury who has severe spastic hypertonia. He is disabling in motor and daily living. We have tried in vain with various physical therapy and medications. He …

Immobilization following spinal cord injury (SCI) is a condition known to be associated with osteoporosis, which leads to increased risk of fractures. The aim of this study was to survey the incidence of bony fractures and its associated factors among chronic SCI patients in southern Taiwan. We recruited 194 patients, including 153 men and 41 women. Their mean age was 46 years old. The average duration of SCI was 12 years. There were 110 paraplegics (56.7%) and 84 tetraplegics (43.3%). Fractures after SCI were noted in 16 of the 194 patients (8.2%). There were no significant differences in age, sex, …

Down Syndrome With Os Odontoideum And Spinal Cord Injury: A Casereport, Li-Chen Tung, Yu-Lin Wang, Chen-Yu Chou, Hui-Chun Juan, I-Hsien Wu, Willy Chou
Rehabilitation Practice and Science
Down syndrome is a genetic disorder caused by trisomy on chromosome 21 that occurs in 1 of every 800 live births. Down syndrome can involve skeletal malformations that include patella or hip dislocation, genu valgus and atlanto-axial instability (AAI). Prompt recognition and treatment of the latter is important. This casereport describes an odontoid fracture due to AAI in a seven-year-old with Down syndrome.
Since October 2000, the child had involved in robust activities including floor tumbling and hand stands. Beginning in April 2001, the right extremities showed signs of weakness and there was an unsteady gait. Upon physical examination, AAI …

Bimalleolar Fracture After Spinal Cord Injury: A Casereport, Shie-Fu Shieh, Huey-Wen Liang, Wen-Hsung Hou, Yen-Ho Wang, Shih-Fong Huang
Rehabilitation Practice and Science
The incidence of fracture is higher in patients with chronic spinal cord injury (SCI), particularly female and elderly patients, than in healthy people. Functional impairment due to SCI may lead to accidental falls and fractures, most of which are due to trivial injury or without known trauma. In addition, the inevitable osteoporosis in the paralyzed limbs of individuals with chronic SCI increases their risk of fracture. The lower limbs are more often involved than the upper limbs. Because of the sensory impairment associated with SCI, fractures may be difficult to diagnose, and treatment may be delayed. The treatment of fractures …
