Anatomy

FractureDefinition (Slide 19): Trauma or disease creates a resulting force that surpasses the ultimate strength of the vertebrae resulting in failure of the bone

Spinal Instability (Definition) (Slide 19): Is the excessive motion between vertebrae. It causes abnormal slipping and rubbing which can cause pain and possible damage to the spinal nerves and/or cord.

Two Types of Paralysis…

Incomplete: Ability of spinal cord to convey messages to/ from brain isn’t completely lost; sensation and movement is possible below the injury

Complete: Total lack of sensory and motor function below the injury. Axons and nerves can still be present crossing the injury site, they just don’t function

General Back Pain- Spinal Cord Simulator (SCS)What does an SCS do? (Slide 51)

A small battery powered generator is implanted into the body. Transmits a mild ____________________ current to the ___________________ __________________ using small wires to carry the current from a pulse generator to the nerve fibers of the ______________ ________________ . Result is a ___________________ sensation instead of ______________, which ________________ the pain signals from reaching your brain.

Word Bank: Tingling, Spinal Cord, Interferes, Spinal Cord, Electric, Pain

Does SCS eliminate pain or interfere with the pain signal? (Slide 51)
