Spina Bifida

Introduction This article is about functional independence of young people with spina bifida (Verhoef et al., 2006). The main objective of this article is to explain the degree of independence of these patients and to provide a percentage of the daily activities of spina bifida patients (Verhoef et al., 2006). This independence was measured using a functionally independent measurement (FIM) (Verhoef et al., 2006). Functional autonomy is measured by evaluating six different domains, which are routine activities (Verhoef et al., 2006).

LR: I was born with spina bifida and hydrocephalus. I was in the wheelchair, so anyone who saw me would see the spinal bifida. The most difficult aspect of the spina bifida is discrimination. For example, in seventh grade I would like to join the athletics team, but I can not join because I am on a wheelchair. They say this is a safety issue - I can run other runners. I am making this decision until finally being allowed to participate in the 9th grade ... But unless I have another person in the wheelchair, I have to participate in the competition on my own It will not. Especially when I get to an old building without a ramp, sitting with a wheelchair every day is difficult. But I am an active person. I found a way

The spina bifida is the most gentle spina bifida. It is sometimes called "hidden" spina bifida. Along with that, the spine has small gaps, but there are no openings or sacs in the back. The spinal cord and nerves are usually normal. Many times, the spina bifida has not been discovered until childhood or adulthood. This type of spina bifida usually does not cause any damage. AFP - AFP represents α - fetoprotein (sounds like al - fa - fee - toe - pro - teen), the protein produced by the fetus. This is a simple blood test that measures the extent to which AFP enters the mother's blood from the baby. A high level of AFP may mean that the baby is suffering from spina bifida. The AFP test can be part of a study called "triple screen" looking for neural tube defects and other problems.
