Knee Joint

The knee joint is the biggest joint in your body. It connects your thigh bone (femur) to your shin bone (tibia). It helps you stand, move and keep your balance. Your knees also contain cartilage, like your meniscus, and ligaments, including your LCL, MCL, ACL and PCL.

🧠 Stroke Prevention Advice

1. Check and Control Blood Pressure
Hypertension is the leading cause of stroke.
Get your BP checked regularly (at least once every 3 months).
Reduce salt intake, avoid excessive alcohol, and exercise regularly.

2. Treat Infections Early
Untreated sore throats can sometimes cause rheumatic heart disease, which increases stroke risk.
Don’t ignore persistent fever, sore throat, or chest pain—get checked.

3. Kidney and Heart Health
Kidney disease and heart problems can trigger strokes.
Drink enough water, avoid excessive painkillers or unprescribed drugs, and attend medical check-ups.

4. Contraceptive Use
Hormonal contraceptives (especially in smokers or women with hypertension) can raise stroke risk.

5. Adopt a Healthy Lifestyle
Exercise at least 30 minutes, 3–5 times a week.
Eat more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains; cut down on fatty and sugary foods.
Avoid smoking and limit alcohol.

LETS DISCUSS SPINAL CORD INJURIES

Spinal Cord

The spinal cord is like a complex network of highways, transmitting vital messages between the brain and the rest of the body. But what happens when this highway gets damaged?

A spinal cord injury (SCI) is damage to the spinal cord that results in loss of function, sensation(inability to feel anything when touched), or mobility(failing to move).

This damage can be caused by trauma, disease, or other conditions, and can affect various aspects of a person's life, including bodily functions.

CAUSES OF SPINAL CORD INJURIES: T

1. TRAUMATIC CAUSES:

- Motor vehicle accidents (the ultimate party crasher! 🚗)

- Falls (whoops, watch your step! )

- Sports injuries (ouch, that tackle was rough! 🏑)

- Violence (gunshots, stabbings, etc. 🔫)

2. NON TRAUMATIC CAUSES:

- Tumors (uninvited guests in the body)

- Infections (like tuberculosis or meningitis )
- Degenerative diseases (wear and tear, oh dear )

- Autoimmune conditions (like multiple sclerosis )

TYPES OF SPINAL CORD INJURIES:

1. Complete Injury: Total loss of sensory and motor function below the injury site. No communication across the injury site – it's like a total roadblock

2. Incomplete Injury: Some motor or sensory function preserved below the level of injury. It's like having a partial detour

LEVELS OF INJURY AND EFFECTS :

- Cervical (C1–C8) Neck: leads to Tetraplegia /quadriplegia(loss of function in all four limbs), breathing issues, in worst case scenario death loss of bowel and bladder control
- Thoracic (T1–T12) Back: 🏋️‍♀️ Paraplegia, loss of function in legs and trunk. Arms and hands usually spared

- Lumbar (L1–L5) Waist: Paraplegia with more leg and pelvic control. Some independence regained

- Sacral (S1–S5): Some loss of function in hips, legs, and pelvic organs.
