The primary means by which the body communicates with each other is through the spinal cord. A spinal cord injury (SCI) damages it by interfering with how the brain communicates with the body. When a blow breaks or dislocates the spine's bones, the majority of SCIs occur. They can also harm nerve tissue when vertebral fragments hit it. Damage to the spinal cord itself or to the vertebrae, ligaments, or disks of the spinal column can cause spinal cord injuries, which can be broken down into two subgroups based on their etiology non-traumatic and traumatizing. A sudden, traumatic blow to the spine that fractures, dislocates, crushes, or compresses one or more vertebrae can result in a traumatic spinal cord injury (T-SCI).It can also occur as a result of a spinal cord-piercing gunshot or knife wound. A serious injury known as a nontraumatic spinal cord injury (NT-SCI) can cause significant damage to the cord. It can be brought on by arthritis, cancer and disk degeneration, among other things. Injuries to the neck and spinal cord are frequent causes of disability in young, healthy people. These injuries' treatment and rehabilitation costs can have significant social and economic repercussions. Due to a significantly higher proportion of falls-related injuries in the elderly, the average age of spinal cord-injured patients has increased over the past few decades. The majority of spinal injuries are caused by fractures in the thorax and pelvis, with approximately one third occurring at the craniocervical junction. Nearly half of spinal injuries result in neurological impairments, which can be severe or even fatal. Patients with high quadriplegic injuries have a lower overall survival rate than those with paraplegic injuries and survival is inversely correlated with the patient's age and neurologic level of injury.
Medical emergency is an SCI. The long-term effects can be lessened with immediate treatment. Surgery, medication, or braces or traction to stabilize the spine are all options for treatment. Pharmaceutical treatment and rehabilitation usually make up later treatment. Mobility aids and assistive devices can help with some daily activities and getting around. A person's physical health, socioeconomic status and complications often have an impact on their quality of life after an SCI. There are a variety of objectives for the interventions aimed at decreasing these secondary injuries and complications. To improve function in people with SCIs, robotic-assisted locomotor training, gait training strategies, specific exercises (such as hydrokinetotherapy), functional electrical stimulation devices and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation devices are universally recommended. Preventing secondary complications, maximizing physical functioning and reintegration into the community are the primary objectives of rehabilitation. The following are some examples of how a multidisciplinary, team-based approach to rehabilitation following an SCI works best [1].
Rehabilitation nurses are concerned with the issues of bowel and bladder dysfunction and the management of pressure injuries (pressure ulcers), psychologists deal with the emotional and behavioral concerns of the newly injured patient and with any potential cognitive dysfunction, speechlanguage pathologists address issues of communication and swallowing and case managers and social workers are the primary interface between the rehabilitation team, the patient, his or her family and the payer source. Physical therapists typically focus on lower-extremity function and mobility issues, while occupational therapists address upper-extremity dysfunction. A physiatrist or a physician with a subspecialty certification in spinal cord medicine oversees the rehabilitation team's activities. A physiatrist is a physician who specializes in physical medicine and rehabilitation. As a result, an SCI is a serious condition that can significantly deteriorate a patient's life in a variety of ways. The primary objective of rehabilitation is to reduce a patient's secondary morbidity and functional level. In order to evaluate the functional and neurological status at admission and discharge, as well as factors associated with functional status among patients with traumatic and nontraumatic SCIs, we attempted to determine the significance of rehabilitation as part of the therapeutic management of SCI patients [2].
