Abstract

A 27-year-old male presented with paralysis and tingling sensations in bilateral lower limbs. History revealed a D4-D6 spinal fixation secondary to a road traffic accident. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) diagnosed the case as post-traumatic syringomyelia secondary to spinal cord injury. Following the surgeon’s clearance, a targeted early rehabilitation intervention (TERI) for functional independence, bed mobility and transfers was initiated and continued for four weeks. Patient showed considerable improvements in Barthel index (40-85%) and Karnofsky Performance Status (20-70%). Physiotherapy Targeted early rehabilitation intervention can be a valuable adjunct to other management strategies in spinal cord lesions.

物理疗法改善创伤后脊髓空洞(pts)的功能独立性:病例报告

一名27岁男性，双侧下肢出现麻痹和刺痛感。病史显示D4-D6脊椎固定术继发于道路交通事故。磁共振成像（MRI）诊断该病例为继发于脊髓损伤的创伤后脊髓空洞症。在外科医生批准后，启动了针对功能独立性、床灵活性和转移的有针对性的早期康复干预（TERI），并持续了四周。患者在Barthel指数（40-85%）和Karnofsky表现状态（20-70%）方面表现出显著改善。物理疗法有针对性的早期康复干预可以作为其他脊髓损伤管理策略的有价值的辅助手段。
