Background : Progressive degenerative condition of the spinal cord, due to vitamin B12 deficiency, is known as Subacute Combined Degeneration (SCD). SCD usually affects people older than 40. Frequently, it is due to the body’s inability to absorb vitamin B12 and rarely due to dietary deficiency. The faster rate of nerve signal transmission is mainly due to a fatty layer known as Myelin sheath, that surrounds nerves. The formation and maintenance of this fatty sheath requires vitamin B12. Damage to this myelin sheath in SCD, cause sensory and motor nerve fibres from the spinal cord to degenerate. Damage to brain, nerves of the eyes, and peripheral nerves are also not uncommon.
Conclusion : The Physiotherapy interventions aimed at Rehabilitation and Restoration of a healthy lifestyle had a good result as anticipated.
