Abstract

Objective: To rehabilitate the patient with Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) in their maximum motor function under the injury, by means of neuroplasticity, in order to reincorporate him/her to basic daily activities. Methods/Statistical Analysis: Case study based on review of clinical history, radiological studies, application of standardized scales used in the area of physiotherapy and an intervention program based on neuro-rehabilitation. Findings: After applying the methods of neuro-rehabilitation, the patient performs rolled ups independently, makes the transfers adopting the different postures, improves postural control, especially at the axial level, leading to a better balance. In the biped position, he/she maintains the weight discharge with support of the walker and begins the march. The wheelchair is replaced by the walker, being of great benefit to the patient after 3 years of evolution of the injury and to have abandoned his treatment. Application/ Improvements: After completing this case study, we conclude that the individualized treatment confirms the effectiveness of the implementation of a neuro-rehabilitation intervention program in the recovery of the motor level below the lesion, without spinal cord decompression posterior to the spinal cord injury, based on therapeutic activities of repetitive exercises with their own help from the physiotherapy, facilitating the neuromuscular rehabilitation.

Abstract

Objective: To determine the main risk factors that favor the acquisition of the Human Papilloma Virus in university students. Methods/Statistical Analysis: This study used a cross-sectional descriptive research design to identify the risk factors associated with Human Papillomavirus (HPV) in university students. The study was carried out on 390 male and female students of Higher Education Institutions, of legal age and with an active sexual life. The data collected were analyzed with the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS, Version 23.0). Findings: The study was applied to 390 students, of whom 205 are female and 185 male. From the study it can be identified that 15.4% of the cases presented a positive result in the presence of HPV, evidencing that the total number of people had a single marital status. Application/ Improvements: Based on this research, the risk factors associated with HPV could be identified in the university population. It is suggested that based on the results the educational institutions strengthen the information of future professionals and work directly or indirectly on the education of children and young people, from the curricular practices carried out in schools. Even in the same hospitals and health centers, try to approach them, regardless of the reason for seeking care.
