Children with high muscle tone will benefit greatly from physical and occupational therapy to stretch affected muscles and strengthen opposing muscles which then improves overall functioning. Compensation strategies to work with an affected limb can also be taught as the child ages.
Ischemia, the noun for ischemic, means a low oxygen state due to inadequate blood flow. Bowel refers to the small and large intestine. Ischemic bowel disease results from inadequate flow of oxygenated blood to the intestines. The extent of ischemic bowel disease can range from mild to severe based on the amount of damage from lack of oxygenated blood. This is a potentially serious condition and requires care from your doctor.
Acute limb ischemia is defined as a quickly developing or sudden decrease in limb perfusion, usually producing new or worsening symptoms or signs, and often threatening limb viability . Acute limb ischemia is overwhelmingly related to arterial occlusion, though extensive venous occlusion can lead to limb ischemia as well (ie, phlegmasia), but this is rare. The incidence of acute peripheral arterial occlusion causing acute limb ischemia is approximately 1.5 cases per 10,000 persons per year .
