Cаse Study 4: Spinаl Cоrd Injury with TLSO аnd KAFO Interventiоn (J.T.) Scenariо: J.T., a 17-year-old patient, sustained a T5 spinal cord injury following a motor vehicle accident. Imaging revealed a intracranial hemorrhage, prompting ongoing neuroimaging to monitor brain structure and glucose metabolism. Initially stabilized with a Thoraco-Lumbo-Sacral Orthosis (TLSO), J.T. experiences episodes of autonomic dysreflexia, requiring careful autonomic monitoring. His Orthotic Treatment Plan includes bilateral Knee-Ankle-Foot Orthoses (KAFOs) for therapeutic standing and short-distance ambulation, enhancing bone density, circulation, and overall health, although primary mobility remains wheelchair-based. 4.1 Which is a function of the peripheral nervous system? J.T.’s spinal cord injury at the T5 level clearly delineates a disruption of central nervous system (CNS) pathways. In contrast, the peripheral nervous system (PNS) remains structurally intact but disconnected below the injury site. While J.T.’s orthotic interventions (TLSO and KAFOs) help manage posture and support therapeutic ambulation, they rely on preserved peripheral nerves to carry sensory and motor signals between the spinal cord and peripheral tissues, which remains crucial for maintaining muscle tone, circulation, and reflexive functions, despite limited voluntary control.
Cаse Study 5: Trаumаtic Amputatiоn with Abоve-Knee Prоsthetic (D.H.) Scenario: D.H., a 28-year-old motorcyclist, sustained a traumatic above-knee amputation of his right leg following a high-speed accident. He is fitted with an above-knee prosthetic with a knee joint and pylon to restore walking ability. The prosthetic compensates for the lost limb, providing stability and controlled knee flexion for a natural gait. 5.7 Which of the following best describes the autonomic pathway involved in adrenal medulla activation? D.H.’s stress response, cardiovascular adaptation, and energy regulation play a role in his adjustment to prosthetic use and physical exertion. During rehabilitation, the autonomic nervous system influences hormone release, which affects heart rate, blood pressure, and muscle readiness, all critical for maintaining balance and endurance while using his prosthesis.
