Cаse Study 3: Cоngenitаl Cоnditiоn with Scoliosis Brаcing (T.R.) Scenario: T.R., a 12-year-old child, was born with scoliosis, a congenital spinal curvature progressing during growth. He wears a custom scoliosis brace (e.g., Boston brace) to halt curve progression and maintain spinal alignment. The brace applies corrective pressure to the spine, reducing deformity and supporting posture until skeletal maturity 3.8 In a neurological disease that gradually worsens over time and affects movement and coordination, which type of neuron is primarily damaged in the cerebellum?? Some progressive neurological diseases that cause cerebellar degeneration also include scoliosis as a symptom.
Cаse Study 2: Amputаtiоn with Belоw-Knee Prоsthetic (M.L.) Scenаrio: M.L., a 45-year-old diabetic patient, underwent a below-knee amputation due to severe peripheral vascular disease complications. She uses a below-knee prosthetic to restore mobility and independence, relying on a custom socket and pylon system for weight-bearing and ambulation. Recently, her endocrinologist suspects a pituitary tumor due to hormonal imbalances from poorly controlled diabetes, which could impact her prosthetic rehabilitation by affecting her vision. 2.2 Which best describes communication between visceral receptors and the CNS? M.L.’s may experience autonomic dysfunction from diabetes or pituitary tumor effects (especially if affecting the hypothalamus as well which is likely) can impair baroreceptor reflexes. This may cause dizziness or fainting when standing, increasing fall risk with the prosthesis. Its a good idea to monitor blood pressure regulation and consider gradual standing adjustments in prosthetic training. If the pituitary tumor affects hypothalamic control, sweating regulation in the residual limb may be impaired.
Cаse Study 1: Trаumаtic Injury with AFO (J.K.) Scenariо: J.K., a 32-year-оld cоnstruction worker, suffered a traumatic tibial nerve injury after a workplace accident where a heavy object fell on his lower leg. Upon evaluation, he exhibits: Weakness in plantarflexion, resulting in difficulty with push-off during gait; Sensory loss in the sole of the foot, affecting proprioception and balance; Medial-lateral ankle instability, particularly during stance phase; Intact dorsiflexion, confirming that the common peroneal nerve is unaffected. He is referred for orthotic management to improve his gait and stability and fit with a Carbon Fiber Dynamic Response AFO (BlueRocker). 1.2 Which characteristic is unique to the somatic nervous system and NOT shared with the autonomic nervous system? Distinguishing somatic vs. autonomic involvement is useful in peripheral nerve injuries. If autonomic dysfunction is present, it might indicate more severe nerve damage or potential for complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). This differentiation helps guide treatment, particularly in rehabilitation and managing complications (e.g., skin breakdown due to loss of sweating).
