Many individuals with incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI) exhibit reduced volitional control of trunk muscles, such as impaired voluntary contractions the erector spinae (ES), due to damage neural pathways regulating sensorimotor function. Studies using conventional bipolar electromyography (EMG) showed alterations in overall, or global, activation muscles people SCI. However, how varied across specific regions within ES, referred regional activation, remains unknown. The aim study was...
Neurological outcomes following spinal cord injury (SCI) are currently difficult to predict. While the initial American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale (AIS) grade can give an estimate of outcome, high remaining degree uncertainty has stoked recent interest in biomarkers for SCI. This study aimed assess prognostic value routinely measured blood by developing models AIS scores at discharge and 12 months post-injury. Routine clinical data were collected from SCI patients (n = 417),...
There is increasing interest in the identification of biomarkers that could predict neurological outcome following a spinal cord injury (SCI). Although initial American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) Impairment Scale (AIS) grade good indicator outcome, for patient and clinicians, an element uncertainty remains. This preliminary study aimed to assess additive potential routine blood analytes principal component analysis (PCA) develop prognostic models SCI. Routine clinical data were...
Abstract A questionnaire was developed to evaluate patients’ perspective on research aimed at improving functions and overcoming complications associated with spinal cord injury (SCI). The first three sections were based published validated assessment tools. final section assess participant perspectives for SCI. One thousand patients approached, of which 159 participated. Fifty-eight percent participants satisfied their ‘life as a whole’. Two factors could be generated that reflected the...
Background Spinal cord injuries are relatively uncommon in children and evidence about long-term outcomes is limited. This study was performed to determine the frequency of common complications patients sustaining spinal injury childhood (0–18 years) who were followed up at a single dedicated centre UK. Method A retrospective review clinical records all injured or less than 18 years age between 1971 1999. Complications studied renal, bowel, musculoskeletal, pressure ulcers post-traumatic...
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a major cause of disability, with complications postinjury often leading to lifelong health issues the need for extensive treatment. Neurological outcome post-SCI can be variable and difficult predict, particularly in incompletely injured patients. The identification specific SCI biomarkers blood may able improve prognostics field. This study has utilized proteomic bioinformatic methodologies investigate differentially expressed proteins plasma samples across...
Abstract Background: A substantial proportion of individuals with incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI) exhibit reduced volitional control trunk muscles due to damage the corticospinal tract, resulting in impaired postural and function. Studies using conventional bipolar electromyography (EMG) showed altered activity people SCI. However, spatial distribution muscle remains unknown. Therefore, this study aimed investigate erector spinae (ES) below level SCI during tasks multidirectional...
Abstract Arm cycling is used for cardiorespiratory rehabilitation but its therapeutic effects on the neural control of trunk after spinal cord injury (SCI) remain unclear. We investigated single session arm corticospinal excitability, and feasibility home-based exercise training volitional erector spinae (ES) in individuals with incomplete SCI. Using transcranial magnetic stimulation, we assessed motor evoked potentials (MEPs) ES before 30 min 15 SCI able-bodied controls (Experiment 1). Both...
Spinal cord injury (SCI) can be life changing and is associated with a variable prognosis. The descriptions of symptoms the are as old pyramids, probably among earliest case records from Edwin Smith Surgical papyrus that dates back to 2500–3500 BC. In day age
Diagnosis of spinal injury in a patient with chronic ankylosing spondylitis can be challenging. Minor insult result an unstable three-column which may subtle. Spinal deformity, osteoporosis and limited mobility are associated difficulty positioning patients for imaging studies, including radiography both computed tomography magnetic resonance imaging. It is important to maintain high index suspicion fracture, avoid forced neck extension during radiological imaging, consider whole spine these...

Background: The stability of the joint is highly dependent on its supporting ligamentous structures, therefore injuries ligaments and menisci are extremely common. Objective: To categorize discrepancies in findings cruciate ligament between arthroscopy MRI. Methodology: This prospective, comparative observational study was conducted at Ramkrishna Care Hospital, Raipur, Chhattisgarh. Informed consent taken from all patients undergoing this study. We prospectively studied 67 with complaints...
