What is a spinal cord stroke? Spinal cord stroke is a rare type of stroke with compromised blood flow to any region of spinal cord owing to occlusion or bleeding, leading to neuronal death. It can be classified into two types, ischemic and hemorrhagic, similar to strokes of the brain. It deprives patients of motor function or sensory function, and sometimes both. Infarction usually occurs in regions perfused by anterior spinal artery, which spans the anterior two-thirds of spinal cord. Treatments for spinal cord stroke are mainly determined by the symptoms and the causes of the disease. Patients may spend years for rehabilitation after the spinal cord stroke. #spinalcordinjury #doctorexplains #spinalcordstroke #stroke #spinalhealth 🎥 Tiktok: elle.yona

3 WHOLE YEARS. So much work. So much trial and error. Finally all put together in one place. Link in my bio ✨ Let’s break the paralysis stigma! #spinalcordinjuryrecovery #spinalcordinjury #paralysisrecovery

We’re excited to announce that Natalie now has her own collection on @outshinelabels! Outshine Labels is a fundraising and awareness platform for the disability community. This design was inspired by Natalie’s love for butterflies and their ability to evolve, overcome, and fly high — just like Natalie is doing while she’s re-learning how to walk. The best part is that 60% of profits go back to us which we’ll use to help pay for Natalie’s therapies and before you know it — college! Shop the link in our Bio to purchase apparel and accessories such as mugs, totes, stickers, and more for yourself or someone on your gift list. Order by this Tuesday, 12/12 to receive your order in time for Christmas! Thank you so much for all your support and encouragement! Natalie and our entire family feel the love and it helps push us through. #fightnatfight #OvercomeAdversity #SpinalStroke #SpinalCordInjury #LearningToWalkAgain #Paralyzed #DisabilityLife #foryou #foryoupage #fyp #spinalstrokerecovery #nevergiveup #keepgoing #outshinelabels

Today is my 6th Life Day!!🥳✨ Six years ago today, I sustained a rare stroke in my spinal cord that paralyzed me from my chest down. In an instant, I lost everything… except for my hope in a good God who had plans to turn this for good from the beginning. In years past, I have absolutely dreaded this day. But this year is different. Today is a day to celebrate! God has turned something that continues to cause so much heartbreak and pain, and is using it for His glory and my good. Getting to make church and the Gospel accessible to families impacted by disability is one of the greatest callings! Thank You, Jesus! • If you have recently started a disability ministry, share with me below a highlight to bring some more joy to this day!! I am so thankful for this community!! • Until all have heard 🤟🏻💌 • “As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive, as they are today” (‭‭‭Genesis‬ ‭50‬‬:‭20‬ ‭ESV‬‬). • #disabilityministry #specialneedsministry #spinalstroke #spinalcordinjury #makedisciples

spasms after spinal cord injury— some people have them and some people don’t. And that depends on where the injury occurred (and things like meds/botox). Rule of thumb, injuries at L1 and below present as flaccid paralysis—no spasms. it’s a matter of whether the CNS was damaged or the PNS. Now you know! 🤝🤓 #awareness #paralyzed #paraplegic #spinalcordinjury #wheelchair
