Paralysis (Types of motor disabilities)

Types of motor disabilities (paralysis)

The overall movement of the human is done by the brain receiving the stimuli by the sensory (sensory nerves) to translate this stimulus and return from the brain to the body through the sensory nerves to the motor nerves and then to the muscles

Spinal Cord Injury (Spinal Cord)

The spinal cord is the vector of information to and from the brain. A cylindrical tube passes through a thin channel that extends within the spinal canal. It is composed of a white substance called the spinal cord. It encased by a membrane and a pair of spinal nerves emerges at regular intervals. 

Nerves from different parts of the body when exposed to a woman to the spinal cord. The brain called sensory nerves. The second type transmits information and commands from the brain to the spinal cord. The body parts called loco motor nerves

When the spinal cord damaged, it will cause a malfunction in the loco motor system that is below the injury level. 

When the infection is a form of inflammation or tumor in the tissues and nerve cells covering the spinal cord, it can be treated if detected early, (Permanent) due to tumors, infections, accidents and diseases, the result will be paralysis due to the inability of the nerves conveying sensory and motor instructions to transfer information and nerve signals between the brain and parts of the body, and may be very large damage, which leads to loss of sensation of infected parts and Loss of control over some vital functions

Spinal cord injuries may be caused by diseases, viral infections and tumors, but are often caused by accidents such as spinal injuries caused by falling from high places, car accidents or violent convictions, burns or heavy tools falling on the spine or the presence of birth defects in the spine

Spinal cord injuries divided into

 1 - Quadriplegia (affects the upper and lower limbs). 

2 - Triple paralysis (affects three limbs, two extremes and one top side). 3 - Lower paralysis (affects the lower limbs only)

4 - Unilateral paralysis affects only one of the parties, according to damage to the spinal nerves feeding the party below the level of infection

Spinal injury

The spinal incision in which the birth defect is a major cause of paralysis caused by the incomplete growth and deformation of the vertebrae or the presence of the so-called "spinal incision", which often occurs when the mother is exposed to x-rays in the first six weeks of pregnancy, Infection of the child with a deformity in the spine. This is due to the incomplete fusion of the vertebrae of the vertebrae or the lack of fusion between spinal nerves, spinal cord and brain

It is possible that the spinal cord injury is simple and result from the incomplete fusion of the vertebral arch of a paragraph or two paragraphs or deformity without damage to the nervous system, in this case may continue to move naturally without knowing that the existence of this distortion only by clinical examination, Which is located in the spine so large that allows the exit of the closed membrane of the spinal cord outside the incision form a bag in the form of tumor or swelling in the site of deformity, it is worth mentioning that this bag may contain fluid and spinal fibers only, which means that the spinal nerves are still in place and not damaged , And may be reliant If this is discovered early by conducting a surgery to remove the cyst and the closure of the hole if possible, thus reducing the risk of paralysis or stop the case of deterioration

Severe cases are a severe spinal incision, which causes the outflow of spinal fluid and spinal nerves outside the spinal incision outside the opening of the spine in the form of a sac or tumor causing paralysis of the body parts that fall below the level of injury, and may benefit surgical intervention only a small proportion to stop flow Spinal nerves and spinal fluid. This type of spinal incision often accompanied by many complications on the brain and lack of control and control of functional organs such as the urinary tract and digestive system with large bone and musculoskeletal abnormalities in the motor system

Polio injuries

Polio is a viral infection that affects people at different ages, but it is very widespread in children under the age of five, a virus that attacks the spinal cord leading to inflammation of the tissue coated with the marrow, if not treated quickly or if the virus Active, it quickly attacks the spinal nerves and often lead to the death of the child, and as a polio caused by a virus has been discovered vaccine against the virus, now known as polio vaccine, which was crucial in reducing the spread of the epidemic and effectively eliminated, so that Is vaccinated To children under the age of five with doses that increase the child's immunity to HIV infection through hospitals, dispensaries and mobile teams in streets, schools and homes to eliminate potential poliomyelitis infection through vaccination

The incidence of polio leads to the occurrence of some common symptoms such as that appear in people with tonsillitis and respiratory system such as high temperatures and difficulty swallowing, breathing, diarrhea, exhaustion and pain in the neck and back and loss of appetite, and then begin to disappear symptoms to show a relaxed imbalance in some muscles, And may decline over time in one of the parties causing a tremor and difficulty in the movement of the infected limbs or stiffness and inability to move joints or fasten, leading to paralysis and muscle atrophy of the affected party.
