Cаse Study 4: Spinаl Cоrd Injury with TLSO аnd KAFO Interventiоn (J.T.) Scenariо: J.T., a 17-year-old patient, sustained a T5 spinal cord injury following a motor vehicle accident. Imaging revealed a intracranial hemorrhage, prompting ongoing neuroimaging to monitor brain structure and glucose metabolism. Initially stabilized with a Thoraco-Lumbo-Sacral Orthosis (TLSO), J.T. experiences episodes of autonomic dysreflexia, requiring careful autonomic monitoring. His Orthotic Treatment Plan includes bilateral Knee-Ankle-Foot Orthoses (KAFOs) for therapeutic standing and short-distance ambulation, enhancing bone density, circulation, and overall health, although primary mobility remains wheelchair-based. 4.6 Which imaging technique is most sensitive to subtle intracranial hemorrhage? A subtle hemorrhage refers to a small, difficult-to-detect bleed in the brain that may not be easily visible in some imaging. These hemorrhages can be microbleeds, very thin layers of blood, or slow, low-volume bleeding that do not cause significant mass effect or dramatic changes on imaging.

Cаse Study 5: Trаumаtic Amputatiоn with Abоve-Knee Prоsthetic (D.H.) Scenario: D.H., a 28-year-old motorcyclist, sustained a traumatic above-knee amputation of his right leg following a high-speed accident. He is fitted with an above-knee prosthetic with a knee joint and pylon to restore walking ability. The prosthetic compensates for the lost limb, providing stability and controlled knee flexion for a natural gait. 5.10 Which classification of PNS afferent axons has the largest diameter and fastest conduction velocity? D.H.'s ability to balance, walk efficiently, and sense limb position with his prosthesis depends on how quickly sensory and motor signals travel through his peripheral nerves. The speed of these signals affects reaction time, coordination, and proprioception, which are crucial for stability and preventing falls during prosthetic training.

His Orthotic Treatment Plan includes bilateral Knee-Ankle-Foot Orthoses (KAFOs) for therapeutic standing and short-distance ambulation, enhancing bone density, circulation, and overall health, although primary mobility remains wheelchair-based. 4.5 Which best compares the origin of sympathetic preganglionic neurons in the autonomic efferent system to the origin of neurons in the somatic motor system? J.T.'s spinal cord injury at the T5 level disrupts sympathetic nervous system pathways and has clear design implications for orthotic interventions including pressure management, adjustability, facilitate gradual posture changes, ventilation and temperature control. 

Cаse Study 2: Amputаtiоn with Belоw-Knee Prоsthetic (M.L.) Scenаrio: M.L., a 45-year-old diabetic patient, underwent a below-knee amputation due to severe peripheral vascular disease complications. She uses a below-knee prosthetic to restore mobility and independence, relying on a custom socket and pylon system for weight-bearing and ambulation. Recently, her endocrinologist suspects a pituitary tumor due to hormonal imbalances from poorly controlled diabetes, which could impact her prosthetic rehabilitation by affecting her vision. 2.2 Which best describes communication between visceral receptors and the CNS? M.L.’s may experience autonomic dysfunction from diabetes or pituitary tumor effects (especially if affecting the hypothalamus as well which is likely) can impair baroreceptor reflexes. This may cause dizziness or fainting when standing, increasing fall risk with the prosthesis. Its a good idea to monitor blood pressure regulation and consider gradual standing adjustments in prosthetic training. If the pituitary tumor affects hypothalamic control, sweating regulation in the residual limb may be impaired.

Cаse Study 1: Trаumаtic Injury with AFO (J.K.) Scenariо:  J.K., a 32-year-оld cоnstruction worker, suffered a traumatic tibial nerve injury after a workplace accident where a heavy object fell on his lower leg. Upon evaluation, he exhibits: Weakness in plantarflexion, resulting in difficulty with push-off during gait; Sensory loss in the sole of the foot, affecting proprioception and balance; Medial-lateral ankle instability, particularly during stance phase; Intact dorsiflexion, confirming that the common peroneal nerve is unaffected. He is referred for orthotic management to improve his gait and stability and fit with a Carbon Fiber Dynamic Response AFO (BlueRocker). 1.2 Which characteristic is unique to the somatic nervous system and NOT shared with the autonomic nervous system?  Distinguishing somatic vs. autonomic involvement is useful in peripheral nerve injuries. If autonomic dysfunction is present, it might indicate more severe nerve damage or potential for complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). This differentiation helps guide treatment, particularly in rehabilitation and managing complications (e.g., skin breakdown due to loss of sweating).

Cаse Study 2: Amputаtiоn with Belоw-Knee Prоsthetic (M.L.) Scenаrio: M.L., a 45-year-old diabetic patient, underwent a below-knee amputation due to severe peripheral vascular disease complications. She uses a below-knee prosthetic to restore mobility and independence, relying on a custom socket and pylon system for weight-bearing and ambulation. Recently, her endocrinologist suspects a pituitary tumor due to hormonal imbalances from poorly controlled diabetes, which could impact her prosthetic rehabilitation by affecting her vision. 2.11  How can afferent autonomic information cause referred pain? Diabetes can lead to autonomic dysfunction and neuropathy, both of which may exacerbate referred pain. Referred pain mechanisms may contribute to phantom limb pain and abnormal pain perception in the residual limb. Pituitary tumor-induced hormonal changes may alter pain sensitivity and autonomic function, influencing rehabilitation outcomes. Multidisciplinary management (prosthetist, neurologist, endocrinologist, pain specialist) is essential for optimizing functional outcomes.

Cаse Study 3: Cоngenitаl Cоnditiоn with Scoliosis Brаcing (T.R.) Scenario: T.R., a 12-year-old child, was born with scoliosis, a congenital spinal curvature progressing during growth. He wears a custom scoliosis brace (e.g., Boston brace) to halt curve progression and maintain spinal alignment. The brace applies corrective pressure to the spine, reducing deformity and supporting posture until skeletal maturity. 3.5 Which is responsible for maintaining the resting membrane potential? Resting membrane potential influences muscle excitability and tone. In neuromuscular scoliosis (e.g., cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, or spinal cord injury), abnormal resting membrane potential may lead to: Spasticity (hyperactive muscle contraction) if neurons are overly excitable. Hypotonia (muscle weakness) if neurons are less excitable. Imbalanced muscle tone on either side of the spine can contribute to scoliosis progression. If resting membrane potential is disrupted, postural muscles may not contract properly, leading to asymmetrical spinal loading.
