  • Spectrum of Nontraumatic Myelopathies in Ethiopian Patients: Hospital-Based Retrospective Study
    Spinal Cord (2016) 54, 604–608 & 2016 International Spinal Cord Society All rights reserved 1362-4393/16 www.nature.com/sc ORIGINAL ARTICLE Spectrum of nontraumatic myelopathies in Ethiopian patients: hospital-based retrospective study NJ Fidèle1 and A Amanuel2 Study design: This is a retrospective hospital-based study. Objectives: The study aimed at a better understanding of the etiology, clinical presentation and treatment outcome of nontraumatic myelopathies in Ethiopian patients. Setting: Etiologies of nontraumatic myelopathies have not been evaluated extensively in most sub-Saharan African countries. The available studies in this region were conducted before the widespread clinical use of modern neuroimaging modalities. This study was conducted in Addis Abba, Ethiopia. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed medical files of patients with a diagnosis of myelopathy (age ⩾ 13 years) admitted or followed up at Tikur Anbesa Hospital between 1 January 2010 and 30 June 2013. Results: Records of 105 patients were analyzed. The male to female ratio was 1.7. The mean age was 38.5 years. Weakness, sensory symptoms (including sensory level), back pain and sphincter dysfunction were the dominant features. Etiologies were dominated by spinal tuberculosis (23.8%) followed by spinal cord neoplastic lesions (primary (10.5%) and secondary neoplasms 8.6%). Other important etiological causes were transverse myelitis (16.2%), degenerative cervical spondylotic myelopathy (15.2%), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (4.8%) and neuromyelitis optica/multiple sclerosis (3.8%). The mortality rate was 9.5%. Among the patients who died, 40% had chest infection as a complication and 70% presented with complete weakness. Conclusion: Infections remain a major cause of spinal cord disease, and tuberculosis constitutes public health target for reducing the incidence of myelopathies.

  • Module 2 Neurology and Instrumentation Motor Paralysis The
    Module 2 Neurology and Instrumentation Motor paralysis The term paralysis is derived from the Greek words para, “beside,off, amiss,” and lysis, a “loosening” or “breaking up.” In medicine it has come to refer to an abolition of function, either sensory or motor. When applied to motor function, paralysis means loss of voluntary movement due to interruption of one of the motor pathways at any point from the cerebrum to the muscle fiber. Patterns of paralysis and their diagnosis: The following subdivision, based on the location and distribution of the muscle weakness: 1. Monoplegia : refers to weakness or paralysis of all the muscles of one leg or arm. This term should not be applied to paralysis of isolated muscles or groups of muscles supplied by a single nerve or motor root. 2. Hemiplegia: It is the commonest form of paralysis, involves the arm, the leg, and sometimes the face on one side of the body. With rare exceptions, mentioned further on, hemiplegia is attributable to a lesion of the corticospinal system on the side opposite to the paralysis. 3. Paraplegia: indicates weakness or paralysis of both legs. It is most often the result of diseases of the thoracic spinal cord, caudal equina, or peripheral nerves, and rarely, both medial frontal cortices. 4. Quadriplegia (tetraplegia) :denotes weakness or paralysis of all four extremities. It may result from disease of the peripheral nerves, muscles, or myoneural junctions; gray matter of the spinal cord; or the upper motor neurons bilaterally in the cervical cord, brainstem, or cerebrum. Diplegia is a special form of quadriplegia in which the legs are affected more than the arms.

Principles of rehabilitation of motor dysfunctions according to Kozyavkin Method. – Lviv: scientific production company ”Ukrayinska tekhnolohiya” (Ukrainian technology), 2007.- 192p. The proposed book is devoted to theoretical principles of motor dysfunction rehabilitation according to Prof. Kozyavkin’s Method and reflects 17 years of experience by the staff at the Institute of Medical Rehabilitation and the International Clinic of Rehabilitation. Readers will be informed about fundamentals related to the organization of human movement systems and rehabilitation principles for disorders of function caused by brain lesions and, in particular, cerebral palsy. They will come to understand how this idea evolved into a fundamentally new tendency in medical treatments and will learn about the effectiveness and application of the given system of rehabilitation. The book will be useful to child neurologists, pediatricians, specialists in medical and physical rehabilitation and students attending related academic institutions. ISBN 978-966-345-118-3 © International Clinic of Rehabilitation 2 Introduction Introduction Motor dysfunctions are one of the main causes of child disabilities and rank the problem of cerebral palsies together with the most important tasks which social pediatrics, child neurology and medical rehabilitation face. For many years, the history of the development of medical treatments for CP was based on attempts to eliminate the most obvious disorders of movement and posture.
