Terapie met Yskas Magnete
Lat Wiel Self Help Sentrum vir Kwadrupliëe se inwoners het weer hulself geniet met plakker pret.
Hulle het geleer hoe om Yskas Magnete te vervaardig wat gebruik kan word vir advertensie doeleindes. Party het daarin geslaag om binne 1 uur 4 magnete te maak. Daarbenewens het hulle boonop hulle ‘bling’ daarop aangebring.
Ek het weereens my tyd met julle geniet. Sien daarna uit om julle weer volgende keer te sien.
‘n Kwadrupleeg word geteister deur die wete dat hulle liggame agteruit gaan en die spartel om liggaam en siel aan die lewe te laat vasklou is ‘n daaglikse stryd. Spier oefeninge wat deur ons as vanselfsprekend aanvaar word verg uithouvermoë deur hulle self geestelik, vleeslik en sielsdoelgerig in te stel. Een van die inwoners, Annemarie, het haarself as welsynswerkster bekwaam wat boekdele spreek van deursettingsvermoë.
Wat is die definisie van die Kwadrupleeg?
quadriplegia

Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Encyclopedia.
quadriplegia
[kwod″rĭ-ple´jah]
paralysis of all four limbs; motor and/or sensory function in the cervical spinal segments is impaired or lost
due to damage to that part of the spinal cord, resulting in impaired function in the upper limbs, lower limbs,
trunk, and pelvic organs. This term does not include conditions due to brachial plexus lesions or to injuries
of peripheral nerves outside the spinal canal. Called also tetraplegia. adj., adj quadriple´gic.
Patient Care. The quadriplegic patient has major sensory and motor deficits and is therefore subject to the
many problems associated with immobility and loss of sensation. (See hazards of immobility.) The immediate goal of care is the prevention of complications that can affect all body systems,
and maintenance of the integrity of the body systems so that optimum rehabilitation can be achieved.
The extent to which the patient may eventually achieve mobility in a wheelchair and some degree of
independence is greatly affected by the caliber of care received and the motivation and drive of the
individual patient.
Mechanical devices such as braces are helpful in compensating for the loss of muscular function. physical therapy procedures and techniques and occupational therapy are essential aspects of patient care and are vital to the attainment of the goals of rehabilitation.
(See also paraplegia.)Patient education is especially important to the long range goal of prevention of
serious complications. Patients and their families should be aware of the early signs and symptoms of breakdown of the skin
(pressure ulcer), fecal impaction, a developing infection, and urinary difficulties. As with any type of long term care, these patients should be medically evaluated periodically
and their care should be under the supervision of a visiting nurse. In spite of the many difficulties that may be encountered by paralyzed
patients, it is possible for them to lead useful and personally rewarding life.
