Kincaid Injury Case Study

She still had some loss in her sensory neurons, but they showed some slight improvement from the initial evaluation. A follow-up MRI also showed a “…decrease in the brachial plexus thickening and hyperintensity.” (Gazioglu) The patient in this case study experienced rare symptoms. Patients who are usually diagnosed with brachial neuritis have severe pain in the shoulder and some even have localized pain. Only a small number of patients have pain that subsides to the fingers of the affected side. This case study supports the signs and symptoms along with the treatment that our team doctor prescribed.

Axel and skeleton frame injuries are something that are very common in the world of sports. The National Football Ledge(NFL) has a foundation of physical impact and is very strenuous on the axel and skeletal frame. Thoracic disc herniations in the one of the most common injuries the NFL and it requires the greatest amount of time to recover which is 189 days. Thou the injury is very high in football nearly 15 percent of American suffer from Thoracic Disc Herniation. Degeneration the most common cause of Thoracic disc herniation “As a disc's annulus ages, it tends to crack and tear. These injuries are repaired with scar tissue. Over time the annulus weakens, and the nucleus may squeeze (herniate) through the damaged annulus. Spine degeneration

Studies and surveys have shown that upper-extremity injuries are a common result of pitching through youth, high school, and collegiate baseball leagues. There have been surveys taken to show the relation of elbow and shoulder injuries and pitching. Statistics taken describe (1) the proportion of pitchers with a history of pitching related upper-extremity injury (2) proportion of pitchers with w history of pitching related elbow and shoulder injury that was treated through surgery (3)types of upper-extremity injuries sustained by pitchers and (4) types of upper extremity injuries sustained by a certain age category around the same time of injury.

Sustaining severe injuries in an accident can be traumatizing, if not life-threatening. The cost of treatment alone can be a great source of stress. If in the unfortunate event you find yourself injured in an accident, the following facts about catastrophic injury cases and claims could be of great assistance.

Cubital tunnel syndrome is a condition that affects the ulnar nerve in the arm. The ulnar nerve runs along the medial portion of the arm, behind the medial epicondyle of the humerus, and down into the hand where it innervates the fifth digit and the medial half of the fourth digit, as well as controlling most of the little muscles for fine movement in the hand and larger muscles in the forearm used for grip strength (The American Center for Spine and Neurosurgery [ACSN], 2015). The ulnar nerve can become compressed in several locations as it travels down the arm from the neck, such as beneath the collarbone, at the elbow, or at the wrist. When this compression occurs at the elbow, is referred to as cubital tunnel syndrome. The ulnar nerve at the elbow is commonly referred to as your “funny bone”, but those who have had the pleasure of hitting it know that it is not funny.

Some of the injuries that can occur in the hand are Cubital Tunnel Syndrome and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome along with many more. Cubital Tunnel Syndrome causes pain or numbness in the ring and little fingers, but could also go to the arm (Types of RSI, 2010). Occurs when the ulnar nerve is pinched along the elbow’s edge (“funny bone”), and has tingling or painful feeling (Types of RSI, 2010). Cubital Tunnel Syndrome can be treated by avoiding putting pressure on the “funny bone” (Types of RSI, 2010). Cubital could lead to surgery if the nerve needs to be relieved. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is similar to Cubital but occurs in the three first fingers. A major nerve is compressed which passes over the carpal bones through the front of the wrist (ASSH, 2015). When the nerve is compressed it causes painful, tingling and numbness in the first three fingers (ASSH, 2015). Carpal Tunnel Syndrome can be treated without surgery by changing the patterns of hand use and/or wearing wrist splints at night (ASSH, 2015). If severe then surgery can take place to make the nerve have more

Grade 2 injuries result in symptoms of moderate to severe pain with severe difficulty in walking. The athlete is unlikely to be able to play on and will often limp heavily. Minor bruising and swelling may present immediately but can take several hours (up to 48) to develop. The ankle will feel very stiff but may also feel unstable resulting from a number of torn ligament fibers (this can be tested more accurately by a professional therapist). Recovery time for a moderate ankle sprain (grade 2) takes between 4 and 8 weeks.

This segment the girl will fall off the top bunk at camp and hit her face on the floor while attempting to sleep walking. She will be asleep as the counselors talk with her about her fall. She will wake up angry, confused, and disoriented, but unsure why. She will be in a different room of the cabin than where she fell asleep at. She will question the counselors regarding how she got there. They will explain what happened after stating they just explained to her what happened. She will be embarrassed, but confess that she sleepwalks and they were speaking to her as she was still asleep. The camera will zoom in to show the severity of her injuries, and the ambulance will be called. Clips of the counselors speaking about their first experience dealing with someone that sleepwalks will appear. They will

Based on the neurological exam, Mr. Hendrix injury occurred primarily in the lumbar region. The Lumbar region which is located around the lower back of the body, which is also the area where Mr. Hendrix said he first felt pain immediately following the incident. The lumbar region controls most of the lower portion of the body. Lumbar 1 -3 affected his hip flexion, Lumbar 4 inhibited Mr. Hendrix’s ability to extend his knee, and Lumbar 5 affected his ability to dorsiflex his ankle. The reason that the spinal cord effects this region is due to a bundle muscle fibers being intertwined with those sections, also known as Myotome. This injury is recognized in the medical industry as Paraplegia.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a syndrome that is caused from pressure on the median nerve in your wrist. It can cause numbness, tingling, and other symptoms in your hand or arm. One of the symptoms that you may have carpal tunnel syndrome is that you may have frequent burning, tingling, or even itching in the palm of your hand and fingers, including in your thumb, index, and middle fingers. Sometimes the symptoms may appear in either one or both of your hands during the night, this is because some people might sleep with flexed wrists.

Best way to treat such a condition is to exercise the wrist with regular intake of anti-inflammatory medication. If this condition continues to then best option would be for a surgical procedure." Now if a doctor would to put it this way to you then you would obviously feel that the doctor may have seen this condition in many patients before and would know the best way to treat and cure it. Carpal tunnel is a problem that runs from the forearm to the hand. It Is associated with the median nerve that runs from the forearm to the wrist. It is caused when the median nerve is compressed in the carpal tunnel. Carpal tunnel is a tunnel that is narrow and runs through the wrist. This median nerve runs through the wrist and when symptoms experienced such as weakness, numbness or any pain, it's usually an indication of carpal tunnel. This pain is usually not localized and runs to the

The most vivid injury in my mind is one that still shows today on my right ankle.

After seeing how close to the humerus the radial nerve ran, it was easy to understand how mid shaft injuries can lead to radial nerve damage. Not only this, but although we had learnt about the passing of Flexor Digitorum Profundus through Flexor Digitorum Superficialis, it was amazing to see it in real life, it was actually one of the highlights of this dissection for me.

Mobility aids are designed to increase mobility and balance for seniors. However, they are actually the causes for many falls in America. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention investigated Emergency Department visits from 2001 to 2006. They analyzed the amount of fall- related injuries and found that 47,312 seniors over the age of 65 visit the ED due to accidents involving their walker or cane each year. Out of those seniors, about 87% experienced a mishap with their walker. A physician named George Fuller (2000) stated that “Falls are the leading cause of injury-related visits to emergency departments in the United States and the primary etiology of accidental deaths in persons over the age of 65 years.” Two wheeled walkers

Any condition that causes swelling or a change in position of the tissue within the carpal tunnel can squeeze and irritate the median nerve, which causes tingling and numbness of the thumb, index, and the middle fingers, a condition known as "carpal tunnel syndrome" (Nidus Information Systems, 2001).
