Questions and Answers

How does the severity of the underlying condition affecting quadriplegia influence prognosis?

It has no effect on prognosis.

Severe conditions always lead to total independence.

Only spinal cord injuries affect prognosis.

Mild conditions can lead to active lives with minimal impairment. (correct)

What is a common outcome for individuals with quadriplegia caused by spinal cord injuries?

Complete recovery without any support.

A majority will become fully dependent on others.

Many can achieve relative independence with assistive devices. (correct)

They can never regain any function.

What effect do progressive conditions like ALS have on individuals over time?

They ultimately reduce the ability to function independently. (correct)

They improve mobility and independence.

They lead to increasing functional independence.

They have no significant impact on daily life.

Study Notes

Prognosis and Impact of Conditions

Severity of the underlying condition causing quadriplegia influences overall prognosis.
Individuals with mild cerebral palsy often lead active lives with minimal long-term impairment.
Small spinal cord strokes, when treated early, can also lead to better functional outcomes.

Quadriplegia and Independence

Quadriplegia from spinal cord injuries is typically permanent but many achieve relative independence through assistive devices.
Assistive technologies help improve the quality of life for those with quadriplegia.

Limitations and Dependencies

Severe spinal cord injuries, strokes, or significant cases of cerebral palsy may lead to a greater loss of daily function.
Such severe impacts can result in dependency on caregivers for daily activities.

Progressive Conditions

Conditions like ALS progressively diminish the ability to function independently.
Over time, these conditions can lead to increased caregiving needs and ultimately, mortality.
