Spinal cord injury is classified by the level and severity of the lesion. There are typically two types of lesions associated with a spinal cord injury which include complete spinal cord injury and incomplete spinal cord injury.
A person affected by complete spinal cord injury will have paralysis and loss of sensation below the level of injury while an incomplete spinal cord injury will affect different parts of the body depending on the level of injury.
Physiotherapy for people with spinal cord injury will concentrate on maintaining tissue capability increasing muscle strength and maximizing potential and promoting independence. Treatment will focus on:
Loss of a limb produces a permanent disability that can impact a patient’s self-image, self-care and movement. Rehabilitation of the patient with an amputation begins after surgery to maximize a person’s functional mobility, minimize a person’s deficits, and enhance quality of life. As the patient’s condition improves, a more extensive rehabilitation program is often started.
The goal of rehabilitation after an amputation is to help the patient return to the highest level of functional independence while improving the overall quality of life—physically, emotionally, and socially.
After a fracture, physical therapy may be ordered to help ensure you return to optimum function as quickly as possible. You may encounter a physical therapist at different times after suffering a fracture.
Your first visit with your physiotherapist will usually involve an evaluation and assessment. Your physiotherapist will likely take measurements of body parts around the fracture site.
After the initial evaluation, your physical therapist can work with you to devise a treatment strategy to help you recover fully. Physical therapy after a fracture often focuses on overcoming the negative effects of being immobilized by a cast or sling. Immobilization may cause loss of motion and strength and decreased functional mobility.
Physiotherapy should start immediately after the fracture has been immobilized.
After your fracture has healed and/or your cast has been removed physiotherapy is continued until you have regained your full level of function.
