Orthopaedic Neurology Cervical Cord Lesions:Tetraplegia Stanley Hoppenfeld, MD James J. Lehman, DC, MBA, DABCO DX 612 Orthopedics and Neurology University of Bridgeport College of Chiropractic

Tetraplegia or Quadriplegia Tetraplegia or quadriplegia as it is more commonly known, means paralysis involving all four extremities.

Hoffmann’s Pathological Reflex

Jefferson’s “Bursting” Fracture

Hangman’s Fracture of C2

Odontoid Fracture of C2

Cervical Compression Fracture Hyperflexion Injury of the Cervical Spine

Activities of Daily Living Respiration C3 or higher is incompatible with life and would require permanent ventilation C4-5 produces respiratory insufficiency and increases risk with an upper respiratory infection

Activities of Daily Living Wheelchair C6 and below permits manipulation of a wheelchair C6 presents transfer problems due to lack of innervation of the triceps

Activities of Daily Living Crutches Complete cord lesions at C8 and above prevent use of crutches due to loss of grip strength

Spinal Cord Lesions Below T1 Including the Cauda Equina Paraplegia is the complete or partial paralysis of the lower extremities and lower portion of the body.

Sensory Evaluation Sensory evaluation is easier than the motor evaluation

Motor Evaluation Motor testing of the intercostal muscles involves observation of the respiratory activity

Motor Evaluation Abdominal and paravertebral muscles innervated by T7 – T12 (L1) Half sit-up tests are not performed during acute stage Beevor’s Sign

L1 Neurologic Level L1 Intact Some hip flexion but complete paralysis of lower extremities No sensation inferior to L1 sensory band Initially LE DTR’s are absent When spinal shock wears off, the reflexes become exaggerated Loss of bowel and bladder function

L2 Neurologic Level L2 Intact Partial function of Iliopsoas and adductors No sensation below L2 sensory band Minimal patellar reflex possible No voluntary control of bowel and bladder

L3 Neurologic Level L3 Intact Partial function of quadriceps and adductors Full strength of Iliopsoas Sensation is normal to level of knee Decreased patellar and absent Achilles No bowel and bladder control

L4 Neurologic Level L4 Intact Iliopsoas, adductors, and quadriceps motor WNL Tibialis inverts and dorsiflexes foot Sensory loss to L5 and S1,2,3,4 No voluntary control of bowel and bladder function

L5 Neurologic Level L5 Intact Gluteus maximus does not function with hip flexion deformity Partial function of gluteus medius Knee flexors function partially with medial hamstring but not the lateral hamstrings Dorsiflexion deformity of foot due to plantar flexors and evertors absent

L5 Neurologic Level L5 Intact Lower extremities have normal sensation except at lateral side and plantar surface of foot Medial hamstring and patellar DTR WNL but achilles is zero + No control of bowel and bladder function

S1 Neurologic Level S1 Intact Slight gluteus maximus weakness Weakness in soleus and gastrocnemius Clawing of toes due to weakness of intrinsic muscles

S1 Neurologic Level S1 Intact Sensation in lower extremities WNL Perianal anesthesia DTR for LE are 2+ No bowel or bladder function

Pathologic Reflex Babinski Sign is Present

Pathologic Reflex Oppenheim’s Sign is Present

Normal Superficial Reflex Cremasteric Reflex
