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.
Ischemia means the perfusion of the blood is blocked or decreased usually due to plaque buildup within the vessel. The cath will be fed through a vessel to the area of ischemia and assess the degree of blockage and exact location. Usually, there is a stent implant to open the vessel to better blood flow.
