| cauda equina syndrome physical therapy: Cauda Equina Syndrome Patrick Marshwell, 2022-10-14 Cauda Equina Syndrome (CES) is a serious spinal condition that occurs when the bundle of nerve roots at the base of the spine, known as the cauda equina, becomes compressed. This can cause severe pain and paralysis of the legs and lower body CES can be caused by a variety of conditions, including herniated discs, tumors, spinal stenosis, and trauma. Symptoms of CES include low back pain, leg pain, weakness or numbness in the legs, and problems with bowel or bladder function. CES is a serious condition that can lead to paralysis if left untreated. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential for preventing permanent damage. In this beginner's guide, we will discuss in deep detail: What is cauda equina? What causes cauda equina syndrome? What are the symptoms of cauda equina syndrome? Who is at risk to have cauda equina syndrome? How is cauda equina syndrome diagnosed? When to see a doctor? What are the medical treatments for cauda equina syndrome? How to prevent cauda equina syndrome? Managing cauda equina syndrome through natural methods. So, without further ado, let's get started. |

| cauda equina syndrome physical therapy: Cervical Laminoplasty K. Nakamura, Y. Toyama, Y. Hoshino, 2003-07-24 Cervical laminoplasty for the treatment of ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament was developed and refined in Japan during the 1970s. Since that time, various cervical laminoplasty techniques have been further analyzed and modified, and have proven to be clinically successful. Until now cervical laminoplasty has been practiced primarily in Japan, and surgeons outside Japan had only limited access to the detailed English literature needed to make full use of the procedures. This book fills that gap in English information and provides a detailed, up-to-date guide to performing safe and effective cervical laminoplasty. Drawing on the latest knowledge from Japan, the book covers the history of cervical laminoplasty, surgical anatomy, basic procedures, modified procedures, possible complications, and perspectives on the future of expansive laminoplasty. This volume by leaders in the field is an excellent guide for all surgeons interested in laminoplasty. |
| cauda equina syndrome physical therapy: Unilateral Biportal Endoscopic Spine Surgery Dong Hwa Heo, Cheol Woong Park, Sang Kyu Son, Jin Hwa Eum, 2022-05-22 Biportal endoscopic spine surgery has been rapidly developed recently, and Unilateral biportal endoscopic spine (UBE) surgery may be new stream in spine surgery. UBE surgery is a new concept of surgery that is different from the existing one portal endoscopic surgery, and has the advantage of being familiar with spinal surgeons as the surgical anatomy is similar to a general surgical method, and the learning curve period is short. The 4mm diameter endoscope provides a very clear image, and it can be safely operated under magnified and clear endoscopic view. It is also available to use general surgical instruments in addition to endoscopic surgical instruments during UBE approaches. Currently it is being performed not only in the lumbar spine, but also in the cervical and thoracic spine. In addition, simple laminectomy, disc removal, and spinal fusion are possible. With the advancement of UBE surgery, spinal surgeons from various countries have been performing UBE in recent years, and it is gradually spreading to the world. This will be the first book summarizing from basic to advanced techniques with abundant illustrations and video aid for easy understanding. |

| cauda equina syndrome physical therapy: Grieve's Modern Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy Gwendolen Jull, Ann Moore, Deborah Falla, Jeremy Lewis, Christopher McCarthy, Michele Sterling, 2015-05-11 Since the third edition of Grieve's Modern Manual Therapy was published in 2005, the original concepts of manipulative therapy have grown to embrace new research-generated knowledge. Expansions in practice have adopted new evidence which include consideration of psychological or social moderators. The original manual therapy or manipulative therapy approaches have transformed into musculoskeletal physiotherapy and this is recognized by the change in title for the new edition – Grieve's Modern Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy. Grieve's Modern Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy continues to bring together the latest state-of-the-art research, from both clinical practice and the related basic sciences, which is most relevant to practitioners. The topics addressed and the contributing authors reflect the best and most clinically relevant contemporary work within the field of musculoskeletal physiotherapy. With this as its foundation and a new six-strong editorial team at its helm, the fourth edition now expands its focus from the vertebral column to the entire musculoskeletal system. For the first time both the spine and extremities are covered, capturing the key advances in science and practices relevant to musculoskeletal physiotherapy. The book is divided into five parts containing multiple sections and chapters. The first part looks at advances in the sciences underpinning musculoskeletal physiotherapy practice. Here there is commentary on topics such as movement, the interaction between pain and motor control as well as neuromuscular adaptations to exercise. Applied anatomical structure is covered in addition to the challenges of lifestyle and ageing. A new section highlights the important area of measurement and presents the scope of current and emerging measurements for investigating central and peripheral aspects relating to pain, function and morphological change. Another section discusses some contemporary research approaches such as quantitative and qualitative methods as well as translational research. Part III contains sections on the principles of and broader aspects of management which are applicable to musculoskeletal disorders of both the spine and periphery. Topics include models for management prescription, communication and pain management and contemporary principles of management for the articular, nervous and sensorimotor systems. In recognition of the patient centred and inclusive nature of contemporary musculoskeletal practice, there is also discussion about how physiotherapists may use cognitive behavioural therapies when treating people with chronic musculoskeletal disorders. The final part of the book focuses on selected contemporary issues in clinical practice for a particular region, condition or the most topical approaches to the diagnosis and management of a region. A critical review of the evidence (or developing evidence) for approaches is given and areas for future work are highlighted. - Presents state-of-the-art manual therapy research from the last 10 years - Multidisciplinary authorship presents the viewpoints of different professions crucial to the ongoing back pain management debate - Highly illustrated and fully referenced |
