Objective: To see the role of methyleprednisolone succinate in the management of acute spinal cord injury. Methods: A randomized control trial was done including the patients with acute spinal cord injury. They were divided into age and gender matched two groups. Patients with presence of active infection, associated open fracture, those on long term steroid and those who did not give consent to participate in the trial were excluded. One group received methyleprednisolone succinate within 8 hours of injury and another group did not receive the drug. Both the groups were managed nonoperatively. The neurological status of the patients was assessed at presentation, once spinal shock was over, at 6th week and 6th month and after one year according to ASIA scoring. Frankel grading was also assessed in every follow up. Conclusion: Methylprednisolone succinct prevents secondary cord injury to a great extent and hence its administration within 8 hours of injury results in a better functional (motor and sensory) outcome.

This manuscript provides information on the test items and standards used to assess flexibility and range of motion in the Brockport Physical Fitness Test. Validity, attainability, and reliability of the back saver sit and reach, the shoulder stretch, the modified Apley test, the modified Thomas test, and the Target Stretch Test are discussed. Particular attention is paid to the utility of these tests for youngsters with mental retardation and mild limitations in fitness, visual impairments (blindness), cerebral palsy, spinal cord injury, or congenital anomalies or amputations. Suggestions for future research are provided.

Patients with cervical spinal cord injury have a high incidence of cardiac arrhythmias, especially in the first 14 to 30 days after traumatic event (acute phase). Electrophysiological abnormalities described in the acute phase are most often bradycardia, which is spontaneous or triggered by various stimuli. In the chronic phase, varied arrhythmias are described, but ventricular arrhythmias as a result of autonomic dysregulation in chronic SCI are rare and isolated. We present the case of a patient with a C5-C6 incomplete spinal cord injury (ASIA-B grade) in which symptomatic ventricular arrhythmia is described one year after the traumatic event.
