22.  Ability to feed self independently during mealtimes. Food may need cutting.  Able to make hot drinks, may require an adapted kettle using a "kettle tipper".  Independent in upper body showering and dressing, lower body dressing and showering may need assistance.  Independent in grooming, usually without palm straps.

23.  Independent in upper body showering and dressing  Easier to dress upper body while in wheelchair  Some methods will be easier if you have good shoulder strength and relatively good balance  Independent in oral/facial hygiene

24.  lower body dressing and showering may need some assistance  May need help with bladder care (e.g. intermittent catheterization)  Shower chair is needed for safe bathing  Rectal stimulation for bowel movement

25.  Independence in bed mobility transfers  May benefit from full electric hospital bed or full to king standard bed

26. - ability to transfer independently (bed to chair, chair to car) - car transfers may need assistance depending on upper body strength (transfer board) - may require assistance moving over uneven surfaces

27. Manual wheelchair : independent propulsion in the community ( short distances of flat surfaces) Electrical wheelchair : for long independent travel or uneven outdoor surfaces (going over curbs)

28.  Independent in standing (standing frame)  May need some assistance depending on body strength

29. Independent level surface transfers (although they may require assistance with moving over uneven surfaces) Wheelchair use outdoors (power chair for school and work) Manual wheelchair propulsion in the community (with the exception of going over curbs) Propel chair (curbs and wheelies) Wheelchair-to-car transfers

31.  The FIM TM instrument refers to a scale that is used to measure one's ability to function with independence  score is collected within 72 hours after admission to the rehabilitation unit, within 72 hours before discharge, and between 80 to 180 days after discharge.  score ranges from 1 to 7, with 1 (Total Assistance) being the lowest possible score and 7 (Complete Independence) being the best possible score.

38.  Phenomena surrounding physiologic or anatomic transection of the spinal cord that results in temporary loss or depression of all or most spinal reflex activity below the level of the injury.  Reflex arcs above level of injury may be severely depressed  Schiff-Sherrington phenomenon  Hypotension due to loss of sympathetic tone is a possible complication  Mechanism of injury that causes spinal shock is usually traumatic in origin  Flaccid paralysis (bowel and bladder) and occasionally, sustained priapism develops

40.  End of the spinal shock phase of spinal cord injury is signaled by the return of elicitable abnormal cutaneospinal, bulbocavernosus reflex or muscle spindle reflex arcs

41. PHASE 1  Characterized by a complete loss -- or weakening -- of all reflexes below the SCI.  The neurons involved in various reflex arcs normally receive a basal level of excitatory stimulation from the brain.  After an SCI, these cells lose this input, and the neurons involved become hyperpolarized and therefore less responsive to stimuli.

42. PHASE 2  Characterized by the return of some, but not all, reflexes below the SCI. The first reflexes to reappear are polysynaptic in nature, such as the bulbocavernosus reflex.  Restoration of reflexes is not rostral to caudal as previously (and commonly) believed, but instead proceeds from polysynaptic to monosynaptic. The reason reflexes return is the hypersensitivity of reflex muscles following denervation -- more receptors for neurotransmitters are expressed and are therefore easier to stimulate.

43. PHASE 3  Monosynaptic reflexes, such as the deep tendon reflexes, are not restored until Phase 3.  Phases 3 and 4 are characterized by hyperreflexia, or abnormally strong reflexes usually produced with minimal stimulation.  Interneurons and lower motor neurons below the SCI begin sprouting, attempting to re- establish synapses. The first synapses to form are from shorter axons, usually from interneurons.

44. PHASE 4  is soma-mediated, and as it takes longer for axonal transport to push growth factors and proteins from soma to the end of the axon, it takes longer.
