Initial Post Instructions
Johnny was involved in a car accident on his way home from work. In the ER, his nervous system is assessed. Johnny is not certain if the doctor is touching his calf or his foot. Johnny does have the ability to move his upper extremities and knows the difference when someone touches his elbow or wrist. What part of the spinal cord has been affected by the accident?
Follow-up question: what is the difference in location of damage between quadriplegia, paraplegia, and hemiplegia? Where would you expect a patient to have deficiencies with each of those injuries?
