Spinal cord injury (SCI) can result in either paraplegia (the loss of nerve control from the waist down) or quadriplegia (the loss of nerve control from the neck or shoulders down). One person (patient 27, Appendix Figure) who initially had quadriplegia and respiratory involvement had returned to pre-illness strength and had no detectable weakness on MMT at 1-year follow-up. The first child the researchers treated with ketones was a 2-year-old boy receiving standard treatment for MADD who suddenly developed quadriplegia and could no longer speak. |
