Athetoid Cerebral Palsy (ایتھٹوئڈ سیریبرل پالسی)
یہ Cerebral Palsy کی ایک قسم ہے جسے Dyskinetic CP بھی کہا جاتا ہے۔ اس میں بچے کے جسم میں غیر ارادی (خود بخود ہونے والی) اور بے قابو حرکات ہوتی ہیں۔
🔹 بنیادی علامات:
ہاتھ، بازو، ٹانگوں یا چہرے کی مڑتی ہوئی، آہستہ اور بے قابو حرکتیں
پٹھوں کا ٹون کبھی سخت اور کبھی ڈھیلا
بولنے میں مشکل (speech problem)
نگلنے میں دقت (swallowing issue)
جسم کو سیدھا رکھنے میں مشکل (posture control poor)
🔹 وجہ:
یہ مسئلہ دماغ کے ایک حصے Basal Ganglia کو نقصان پہنچنے کی وجہ سے ہوتا ہے، جو حرکت کو کنٹرول کرتا ہے۔ یہ نقصان عام طور پر:
پیدائش کے دوران آکسیجن کی کمی
دماغی چوٹ
انفیکشن
کی وجہ سے ہو سکتا ہے۔
🔹 علاج (Treatment):
اس کا مکمل علاج نہیں ہوتا، لیکن بہتری ممکن ہے:
1. فزیوتھراپی (Physiotherapy):
پٹھوں کی کنٹرول بہتر کرنا
بیلنس اور پوسچر بہتر کرنا
2. اسپیچ تھراپی (Speech Therapy):
بولنے اور نگلنے کی صلاحیت بہتر کرنا
3. آکوپیشنل تھراپی (Occupational Therapy):
روزمرہ کام سکھانا
4. ادویات:
پٹھوں کی غیر ضروری حرکات کو کم کرنے کے لیے

Cervical Spine Special Tests (Clinical Examination Guide)

Cervical spine special tests are used to identify radiculopathy, disc herniation, nerve root compression, instability, vascular compromise, and muscular tightness.

Here is a structured clinical list useful for practice and teaching:

---

🔎 1️⃣ Tests for Cervical Radiculopathy (Nerve Root Compression)

1. Spurling’s Test

Purpose: Detect cervical nerve root compression
Procedure:
• Neck extension + lateral flexion
• Apply axial compression

Positive Sign:
⚡ Radiating pain into arm (dermatomal pattern)

2. Cervical Distraction Test

Purpose: Confirm radiculopathy
Procedure:
• Gentle upward traction on head

Positive Sign:
✔ Relief of arm symptoms (nerve decompression)

3. Upper Limb Tension Test (ULTT)

Purpose: Neural tension (brachial plexus)
Similar to SLR in lumbar spine

Positive Sign:
⚡ Reproduction of arm pain or paresthesia

4. Shoulder Abduction Relief Test (Bakody’s Sign)

Purpose: C5–C6 nerve root compression

Procedure:
• Patient places hand on head

Positive Sign:
✔ Relief of radicular symptoms

🧠 2️⃣ Tests for Cervical Myelopathy (Spinal Cord Compression)

5. Hoffmann’s Sign

Procedure: Flick distal phalanx of middle finger

Positive Sign:
⚡ Thumb/index finger flexion

Indicates upper motor neuron lesion

6. Babinski Sign

Procedure: Stroke sole of foot

Positive Sign:
⚡ Upgoing plantar response

7. Clonus Test

Rapid ankle dorsiflexion

Positive Sign:
⚡ Repetitive beats (>3 beats abnormal)

💪 3️⃣ Tests for Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS)

8. Adson’s Test

Procedure:
• Extend & externally rotate arm
• Patient turns head toward tested side
• Check radial pulse

Positive Sign:
❌ Decreased pulse or symptoms reproduction

9. Roos Test (EAST Test)

Hands in 90° abduction & external rotation
Open/close fists for 3 minutes

Positive Sign:
⚡ Pain, heaviness, numbness

🔄 4️⃣ Instability & Ligament Tests

10. Sharp-Purser Test

Purpose: Atlantoaxial instability

Positive Sign:
✔ Reduction of symptoms OR excessive movement

⚠ Important in Rheumatoid Arthritis patients

11. Alar Ligament Test

Checks integrity of alar ligament

Positive Sign:
Excessive rotation

🧍 5️⃣ Muscle Tightness Tests

12. Upper Trapezius Tightness Test

13. Levator Scapulae Test

14. Scalene Tightness Test

🩺 Clinical Tip (Important)

For diagnosing Cervical Radiculopathy, a cluster of:
✔ Spurling’s Test
✔ Distraction Test
✔ ULTT
✔ Cervical rotation < 60°

Increases diagnostic accuracy.

Shoulder Joint Reduction:
Manes Method:
This new method was invented after the author found that some of the older techniques were too traumatic for the elderly patient. After providing adequate analgesia and muscle relaxant the surgeon stands behind the patient and inserts their flexed forearm into the axilla of the affected shoulder. The surgeon's free hand is placed on the flexed forearm of the patient and gentle traction applied. The surgeon's forearm pulls in a proximal and lateral direction and levers the humeral head into the glenoid socket. Traction is then released.
