2
Orthopaedic Neuromuscular Cardiovascular Pulmonary disorders
3
Severe adversely affects education Includes the following: 1. congenital anomaly, 2. impairment caused by disease, 3. impairment caused by other
4
Congenital Anomaly Clubfoot Absence of some member
5
Impairments Caused by Disease Poliomyelitis Bone Tuberculosis
6
Impairments From Other Causes Cerebral Palsy Amputations Fractures or Burns that cause contractures
7
Wheelchairs Crutches/canes Artificial limbs
8
2 types congenital and acquired Spina Bifida (congenital) Spinal Cord Injuries (acquired injury) Poliomyelitis Post Polio Syndrome (acquired disease)
9
Complete Incomplete Paresis = muscle weakness
10
Cervical (C1-C8) Thoratic (T1-T12) Lumbar (L1-L5) Sacral (S1-S5)
11
Cervical Nerve Dysfunction (C1-C8) Affects arm hand movements breathing
12
Thoracic Nerve Dysfunction (T1-T12) Maintain Balance in Sitting position Breath Forcefully Aerobic Endurance (cause respiratory distress)
13
Lumbar Nerve Dysfunction (L1-L5) Affects Legs Affects Foot Movement
14
Severity of Spinal Paralysis DEPENDS on; Level of Lesion Whether Complete or Incomplete Important: The higher the lesion the more loss of function
15
Quadriplegia and Paraplegia Terms used to indicate level of severity
16
Quadriplegia Involvement of all four limbs and trunk ½ incomplete lesions meaning they can walk High level Quads & Low-Level Quads
17
Quadriplegia (High level Quads) Complete C1 and C4 lesions Dependent on Motorized Chair Note: C3 and above cannot breathe must have portable oxygen
18
Quadriplegia (Low level Quads) Complete C5 and C8 lesions Use Manual Chairs (participate in wheelchair sports)
19
Paraplegia Means involvement of the Legs Often includes Trunk Balance (helps indicate severity) Example: T1-T6 lesions no useful sitting balance must be strapped in chair T7-L1 lesion allows some useful sitting balance L2 there is normal trunk control
