Balanced bladder function in spinal cord injury patients. 1977

E J McGuire, and G Diddel, and F Wagner

A urodynamic assessment was done on 55 patients with spinal cord injuries treated with intermittent catheterization and therapy for autonomic dysreflexia and external sphincter spasm. While 95 per cent of the patients with upper motor neuron lesions achieved balanced bladder function they were not necessarily free of a catheter. The results obtained in male patients compare favorably to those reported from specialized spinal cord injury centers. Female spinal cord injured patients generally were unable to achieve a catheter-free status.

D001259 Ataxia Impairment of the ability to perform smoothly coordinated voluntary movements. This condition may affect the limbs, trunk, eyes, pharynx, larynx, and other structures. Ataxia may result from impaired sensory or motor function. Sensory ataxia may result from posterior column injury or PERIPHERAL NERVE DISEASES. Motor ataxia may be associated with CEREBELLAR DISEASES; CEREBRAL CORTEX diseases; THALAMIC DISEASES; BASAL GANGLIA DISEASES; injury to the RED NUCLEUS; and other conditions.

D001437 Bacteriuria The presence of bacteria in the urine which is normally bacteria-free. These bacteria are from the URINARY TRACT and are not contaminants of the surrounding tissues. Bacteriuria can be symptomatic or asymptomatic. Significant bacteriuria is an indicator of urinary tract infection. Bacteriurias
