This image shows a patient undergoing the Babinski Test–pathological response. The Babinski test is used to show a response thus showing a possible abnormality within the central nervous system or an underlying disease or condition within the spinal cord or brain. During the test, as in this image, the toes fan and the big toe moves dorsally.

Whartonberg Pinwheel | Dermatome Testing | Spinal Cord Injury Test | Spine Surgeon in Greater Denver Area
Image by neckandback
The central nervous system is comprised of the brain and spinal cord. A portion of the peripheral nervous system consists of spinal nerves, which branch out of the spinal cord. When a nerve root in the brain or spine is damaged, certain motary senses are affected. Dermatome patterns are used to signify these senses. This image is an example of a dermatome testing. The Whartonberg pinwheel is used for gentile sharp sensation testing. Use just the weight of the pinwheel for the pressure on the skin.

Rick Hansen Institute
ABOUT
Who are we? The Rick Hansen Institute is a collaboration of people with spinal cord injuries, researchers and service providers committed to addressing priority needs and generating solutions for people with SCI.
Where have we come from – what is our history? Since his Man In Motion World Tour more than 20 years ago, Rick Hansen has nurtured a dream of true collaboration across the SCI community. Six years ago, his dream began to be realized when the SCI Network was established with funding from the federal government (Western Economic Development) invested through the Rick Hansen Foundation. Three initiatives evolved — the SCI Solutions Alliance, the Rick Hansen SCI Registry, and the SCI Translational Research Network, which was funded by a million investment from Health Canada. In April 2008, a decision was made to combine these three entities into a single organization, which is more effectively and efficiently addressing priority needs and generating solutions for people with SCI. This merger represents an integrated approach that strives for synergy and best use of the approximately million that has been invested in our work.
What outcomes or results are we looking for? Together, we strive to:
-minimize disability and maximize the quality of life of people with SCI
-enhance health, social and economic outcomes through seamless coordination among the many organizations that provide services to people with SCI.
What do we do? How do we achieve our desired outcomes? The Rick Hansen Institute:
-identifies and translates SCI research breakthroughs into innovations, validated solutions and best practices
-work with our community partners across Canada to identify, fund and facilitate solutions that address priority needs of Canadians with SCI
-moves knowledge into action, promoting adoption of best practices at all points on the continuum of treatment, care and support for people with SCI.
The Rick Hansen Institute became incorporated in March, 2009. We received charitable status from Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) in January, 2010 and now operate as an independent organization.
