s/sx? manage? - - more frequent than fx, most in diving accident, - pain, numbness, muscle weakness/paralysis - greater likelihood of causing damage to SC than fx; greater care when moving acute strain of neck/upper back etiology? s/sx? manage? - - sudden turn of head or forced flexion/EX/rotation, typically SCM, upper trap, scalenes, splenius capitis, cervicis - localized pain, pt tender, restricted motion, muscle guarding from pain - RICE, cervical collar, ROM, isometrics, progress to full range isotonics cervical sprain (whiplash) etiology? s/sx? manage? - -usually result from violent snapping motion, frequently muscle strains occur along with ligamentous sprains - signs of strained neck that persist, may be tender over TP/SP, pain from inflammation of injured tissue and protective muscle spasm - rule out fx, dislocation or disk injury; cervical collar, RICE, cryotherapy, heat/massage, mechanical traction Acute Torticollis (Wryneck) etiology? s/sx? manage? - - c/o pain on one side of neck upon waking up, usually occurs when small piece of syovial jt capsule is impinged/trapped w/in facet jt - palpable pt tender, muscle spasm, head motion restricted to side opposite irritation with marked muscle guarding - modalities to break pain-spasm-stasis; jt mobs, cervical collar, muscle guarding lasts 2-3 days laceration of cervical cord - usually produced by combined dislocation and fx hemorrhage of cervical cord - develops from all vertebral fx and most dislocations; also strains and sprains; hemmorhage within the cord may cause damage contusion of cervical cord - may result from sudden displacement of vertebra that compresses the cord and then returns to normal position cervical cord neuropraxia - transient paralysis followed by ability to move limbs freely and no other sx other than a sore neck, caused by cervical spine stenosis spinal cord shock - usually occurs with severe trauma to SC; immediate LOF below level of lesion, limbs are flaccid, total loss of deep tendon reflexes, with later development of hyperreflexia complete c-spine lesions at _____ result in - at or above C3= impair respiration and result in death below C4= allow for some return of nerve root function central cord syndrome - caused by hemorrhage or ischemia in central portion of cord, results in complete quadriplegia with nonspecific sensory loss, sexual & bowel-bladder dysfunction incomplete lesions can result in what 4 syndromes - central cord brown-sequard anterior cord posterior cord brown-sequard syndrome - caused by injury to one side of SC LOF, touch, vibration, and position on one side of body and loss of pain/temp sensation on other anterior cord syndrome - caused by injury to anterior 2/3 of cord results in loss of motor function and pain and temp sensation; normal sexual and bladder/bowel function posterior cord syndrome - caused by injury to posterior cord, rare, motor function is completely intact cervical stenosis etiology? s/sx? poster SI, pain increases with long periods of standing/moving from sitting/standing or coughing (quadratus lumborum) - stretching/strengthening of involved muscles, combo lumbar sprains etiology? s/sx? manage? - - most commonly face joint, occurs when bend forward and twist while lifting or moving some object - pain localized just lateral to SP, pain becomes sharper with certain movements, passive anteroposterior or rotational motion increase pain - RICE, jt mobs, abdominal/back extensors strengthening sciatica etiology?
