Anxiety and depression symptoms among paraplegic patients.

omplete paraplegia is defined as lower limb paralysis with loss of sensation. It is usually associated with loss of sphincter control both for bowel and bladder. Various medical and surgical causes may lead to complete paraplegia. Traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) is one major cause. Paraplegic patients suffer from several problems due to the nature of their injury such as physical impairment,...

Arthritis and genital infection in paraplegic patients.

In recent years there has been considerable discussion about the importance of chronic genitourinary infection as a cause of disease of the sacro-iliac joints. Mason, Murray, Oates, and Young (1958) demonstrated that there was a high incidence of chronic prostato-vesiculitis in patients with ankylosing spondylitis. Several observers have found an increased incidence of sacro-iliitis in patients...

Electrophysiological study of the Babinski sign in paraplegic patients.

The physiopathology of the Babinski sign was investigated electrophysiologically in patients with spinal cord lesions. The stimuli were delivered via a blunt probe. The force exerted perpendicular to the plantar surface and the forward displacement of the probe were measured. The responses were recorded by surface electromyography of the Extensor Digitorum Longus and Flexor Hallucis Brevis. The...
