spinal shock

Typically this is one of the first reflexes to return after spinal shock.

More encephalized species tend to have longer spinal shock duration.

During spinal shock, the bladder is flaccid and unresponsive.

However, within several days, this spinal shock will disappear and signs of spasticity will become evident.

It is not to be confused with spinal shock, which is not circulatory in nature.

Spinal shock, he thought.

She also starts experiencing spinal shocks.

Spinal shock and neurogenic shock can occur from a spinal injury.

The absence of the reflex without sacral spinal cord trauma indicates spinal shock.

At Thad's look she clarified, "Spinal shock.

This clinical pattern may emerge during recovery from spinal shock due to prolonged swelling around or near the vertebrae, causing pressures on the cord.

Therefore there is a risk of complications from local anaesthetic toxicity (such as seizures and cardiac arrest) and for a syndrome similar to spinal shock.

Spinal shock is usually temporary, lasting only for 24-48 hours, and is a temporary absence of sensory and motor functions.

Softride, which makes bikes without seat posts to reduce spinal shock, now makes an impact-absorbing stem (the part that connects the handlebars to the frame).

Spinal Shock / Twist of Cain (Gory neckbreaker)

Note that the 'shock' in spinal shock does not refer to circulatory collapse, and should not be confused with neurogenic shock, which is life threatening.

Spinal shock, they told him it was-although Leona kept insisting these movements were a sign of Peter's imminent recovery-the body's predictable reaction to spinal cord injury.

Absence of this reflex in instances where spinal shock is not suspected could indicate a lesion or injury of the conus medullaris or sacral nerve roots.

Individuals with a severe spinal cord injury (SCI) mainly present with a later stage of recovery because during the early stages they present with spinal shock.

After spinal shock has passed, the voiding reflex returns, although there is no voluntary control and no inhibition or facilitation from higher centers when the spinal cord is transected.

(This term can be confused with spinal shock which is a recoverable loss of function of the spinal cord after injury and does not refer to the haemodynamic instability per se.)

On the April 22, 1998 edition of Thunder, Bagwell suffered damage to several vertebrae and developed spinal shock syndrome after a botched diving bulldog at the hands of Rick Steiner.

"Sometimes the cord can go into spinal shock and it might appear that he has complete loss of function, but you can't be sure until the period of spinal shock is over," he said.

The bulbocavernosus reflex (BCR) or "Osinski reflex" is a polysynaptic reflex that is useful in testing for spinal shock and gaining information about the state of spinal cord injuries (SCI).

Spinal shock was first defined by Whytt in 1750 as a loss of sensation accompanied by motor paralysis with initial loss but gradual recovery of reflexes, following a spinal cord injury (SCI) - most often a complete transection.
