Continuation of medulla oblongata; transmits signals between brain and body.

Tapered end of the spinal cord; related to upper motor neuron lesions.

Collection of lumbosacral nerve roots; corresponds to lower motor neurons.

Describes the functional distinctions of spinal roots: ventral for motor and dorsal for sensory.

Regions of gray matter in the spinal cord defined by functions like pain and proprioception.

Supplies the anterior two-thirds of the spinal cord.

Composed of two arteries, it supplies the posterior one-third of the spinal cord.

Also known as radicular arteries; enhance blood supply to the spinal cord.

Areflexia after spinal cord injury lasting 1-3 days.

Reflex involving anal sphincter contraction when genital area is stimulated.

Increased muscle tone potentially leading to scoliosis and hip dislocation.

Autonomic dysregulation in response to stimuli, mainly above T6 level.

Includes pounding headache, profuse sweating, and facial flushing.

Elevating the head and checking for irritants to reduce symptoms.

Drop in BP upon head elevation, common in paralysis patients.

Includes tilt tables, ankle pumps, and compression stockings to improve circulation.

Also known as the Artery of Adamkiewicz, it supplies blood to the lower half of the spinal cord from T6-L3.

Area between T4-T6 that receives less blood supply due to fewer segmental arteries.

Ascending neuron with three orders: 1st in dorsal root ganglion, 2nd in interneuron to thalamus, 3rd from thalamus to sensory cortex.

Descending neuron with three orders: 1st from UMN in cortex to anterior horn, 2nd in interneuron, 3rd to spinal nerves.

Most numerous neurons that connect motor to motor, sensory to sensory, and motor to sensory.

Neurons that control involuntary muscles like cardiac and smooth muscle, with pre and post ganglionic pathways.

An ascending tract responsible for transmitting pain and temperature sensations.

A descending tract that is key for fine and skilled movements.

A classification system for spinal cord injuries based on sensory and motor functions.

Defined as no sensory or motor function in the sacral segments S4-S5.

Presence of some sensory or motor function below the injury level, including S4-S5.

The most caudal segment with normal sensation and motor function.

The most caudal segment with at least ⅗ MMT and 5/5 above this level.

Impairments related to breathing efficiency due to spinal cord injury above C4.

Abnormal bone growth in non-skeletal tissues, common after SCI.

Refers to capabilities such as powered arm support and joystick controls for mobility.

Injuries to skin and underlying tissue due to prolonged pressure.

Individuals can perform self-care activities such as ADL transfers and self-driving with assistive devices.

Blood clot that forms in a deep vein, often due to immobility.

Serious complications affecting heart and lungs after injury.

C7 allows for activities of daily living independently, without assistive devices.

Users with C8 level can perform self-care and maneuver a standard wheelchair without assistance.

Includes regular turning and pressure relief activities.

Individuals achieve physiological standing capability between T4 and T6 spinal injury levels.

Involves use of anticoagulants like Heparin and Warfarin.

Three factors that contribute to DVT: hypercoagulability, venous stasis, and intimal wall damage.

Movement style for individuals with T6-T9 injuries, emphasizing swing to gait.

Refers to ambulation capabilities in the household environment with T9-T12 injury levels.

Individuals at L3 level can perform community ambulation, reaching public areas.
