The occurrence of the ilio-lumbar syndrome in a spinal cord injury patient.

STUDY DESIGN: Case report of a 71-year-old man having sustained a spinal cord injury (SCI) for 26 years. He started to suffer from low back pain 21 years after his onset and this was diagnosed as ilio-lumbar syndrome (ILS). OBJECTIVES: To describe the problem of low back pain occurring after a change of wheelchair in a SCI, and to indicate the importance of the ilio-lumbar syndrome as a possible cause of low back complaint. OUTCOME: Clinical findings supported by echotomography confirmed the diagnosis of ILS in our case. CONCLUSION: ILS should be considered when some changes and deterioration of the status of SCI occur due to low back complaint.

Energy expenditure of ambulation in paraplegics: effects of long term use of bracing.

Energy metabolism data were collected in a series of seven male paraplegic patients with complete spinal cord lesions (T9 to L1). Among these four had just been rehabilitated and three had been using their bilateral long leg braces for more than 4 years. A group of five healthy volunteers was used as a control. All the subjects ambulated on a treadmill between parallel bars and in a second trial they ambulated on the floor using forearm crutches. Mean O2 consumption was 1.46 ml O2/kg/m for the unaccustomed paraplegics who had never used long-leg braces before, 0.61 for paraplegics used to walking with braces, and 0.83 for the healthy subjects walking between parallel bars with a swing-through gait. The second trial (on the floor), showed a mean O2 consumption of 0.73 ml O2/kg/m for the paraplegic brace-user with a high heart rate (156/min). This mean O2 consumption was much lower than the values of the paraplegic non-user and slightly higher than the normal subjects.

Carpal and Guyon tunnel syndrome in burns at the wrist.

A series of 22 patients with burns of the upper extremities have been evaluated by clinical and electromyographic (EMG) studies. As suggested by others, a significantly higher incidence of carpal tunnel syndrome and sensory involvement of the ulnar nerve was discovered. Those findings suggest that we pay more attention to the median and ulnar nerves at the wrist level in burns and treat them when compression is demonstrated by clinical and EMG evaluation.

Treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome. Comparative study with and without epineurolysis.

Three series of cases of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome have been studied. One series was treated a different, respected surgical team, the second series by the author by decompression alone, and the third series by additional intraneural decompression using the microscope. The authors found very little difference in the results, apart from marginally better results in the presence of thenar muscle involvement.
