What is the treatment for paralysis in the limbs?

Answer 1

There are two types of spinal cord injuries. Complete spinal cord injuries refer to the types of injuries that result in complete loss of function below the level of the injury, while incomplete spinal cord injuries are those that result in some sensation and feeling below the point of injury. The level and degree of function in incomplete injuries is highly individual, and is dependent upon the way in which the spinal cord has been damaged.

The prognosis of a particular spinal cord injury varies depending upon where along the spinal column the spinal cord has been injured, the severity of the injury, and which nerve fibers are damaged. As a general rule of thumb, some recovery can be expected within the first six months following injury. After six months, additional recovery is unlikely

Vibrating Finger TherapyThere are many kinds of treatment for paralysis. However, the safest and the most reliable treatment is the drug less therapy called the Vibrating Finger Therapy. This treatment would be effective even after all forms of treatments have failed and even decades later.

Changes in the tone of skeletal muscles due to paralysis:

1. Normally in the standing position the tone of skeletal muscles is 50%. However, in paralysis it either decreases to 0% or increases to 100%.

2. On movement the tone of one group of muscles should increase an that of the opposite group should decrease proportionately. This may not happen in a paralyzed part even though the resting tone is 50%.

3. The patient may not feel the part and thus unable to feel it if the tone is very less

Aim of treatment:

The aim of treatment in paralysis is,

1. To reset the tone of the muscle to 50% in the resting state.

2. To make the tone increase vary from 0% to 100% on movement.

3. To make sure that there is complete range of movement.

4. To ensure that feeling is restored completely.

Vibrating Finger Therapy:

In this treatment vibrations of the finger of the therapist is passed to the paralyzed muscle to increase or decrease its tone. The tone of the smallest muscle and even deep seated muscle can be normalized in this treatment.

The treatment may take up to one year if the paralysis is decades old.

Minimum requirements to initiate therapy:

1. The patients general condition must be good

2. The nerve supply to the brain should be intact. It is o.k. if the continuity is not there within the brain because there would be collateral nerve supply to the motor center

Principal of Vibrating Finger Therapy:

1. Power generation:

All the skeletal muscles of the body can contract and relax isometrically as though it is a single skeletal muscle called Unified Skeletal Muscle (USM). This contraction can occur towards any part of the body and in this case it is made to contract towards the finger tips.

2. Frequency generation:

Now using a pair of muscle called Thyrohoid the USM is made made to vibrate isometrically at the desired rate.

3. Wave pattern generation:

At rest the tone of the USM is 50% . Thus, it is possible to generate positive waves, negative waves or sine waves. By using the positive waves we can increase the tone of the paralyzed muscles. By using the negative waves we can decrease the tone of the skeletal muscles.

4. Co-coordinating the muscles:

It is not enough if the tone is normalized to 50% in the resting state. This is because when the tone of one muscle is increasing that of the opposite muscle has to decrease. If this is not happening it has to be corrected manually and over the entire range.

These steps should make the paralyzed patient totally indistinguishable from the normal. The treatment also restores all the sensations to normal.

You need to see a vet urgently.
