Slide Content

DYS: It is a Greek Prefix. Meaning: ‘ Difficult,Disordered ’. Used specially in medical term as; Abnormal :  dysplasia.  Impaired:  dysesthesia .  Difficult:  dysphonia.   Bad :  dyspepsia . Disabilities is an umbrella term, covering impairments, activity limitations, and participation restrictions.

Dysabilities Start With “DYS” Dyskinesia: Dyslexia Disgraphia Dysenthesia Dysaphia Dyscalculia Dysbarism Dystonias Dysplasia Dyspepsia

Dyskinesia: Dyskinesia refers to a category of movement disorders that are characterized by involuntary muscle movements ,  including movements similar to tics or  chorea and diminished voluntary movements. Dyskinesia can be anything from a slight tremor of the hands to an uncontrollable movement of the upper body or lower extremities. Discoordination can also occur internally especially with the respiratory muscles and it often goes unrecognized. D yskinesia is a symptom of several medical disorders that are distinguished by their underlying cause.

Dysmyelination : Dysmyelination is the loss of the myelin sheath insulating the nerves. Symptoms: blurriness in the central visual field that affects only one eye, may be accompanied by pain upon eye movement double vision loss of vision/hearing odd sensation in legs, arms, chest, or face, such as tingling or numbness (neuropathy) weakness of arms or legs

D ystonias : The dystonias are movement disorders in which sustained muscle contractions cause twisting and repetitive movements or abnormal postures.

Symptoms: The movements, which are involuntary and sometimes painful, may affect a single muscle; a group of muscles such as those in the arms, legs, or neck; or the entire body. Early symptoms may include deterioration in handwriting, foot cramps, or a dragging foot after running or walking some distance . Other possible symptoms are tremor and voice or speech difficulties.

Dysplastic Spondylolisthesis : Spondylolisthesis is a forward or backward slippage of one vertebra on an adjacent vertebra. Causes of spondylolisthesis include trauma, degenerative, tumor, and birth defects. Symptoms of spondylolisthesis include lower back or leg pain, hamstring tightness, numbness and tingling in the legs .

D ysbarism :   Dysbarism  refers to medical conditions resulting from changes in ambient pressure. Various activities are associated with pressure changes.  Scuba diving is the most frequently cited example, but pressure changes also affect people who work in other pressurized environments (for example, caisson workers), and people who move between different altitudes.

Symstomps :

dysostosis   : A  dysostosis   is a defective formation of bone. Also called  dysosteogenesis .

Dyslexia: Dyslexia, also known as reading disorder, is characterized by trouble with reading  despite normal   intelligence.

Signs and symptoms: In early childhood, symptoms that correlate with a later diagnosis of dyslexia include delayed onset of speech, difficulty distinguishing left from right, difficulty with direction ,  as well as being easily distracted by background noise

Dyssynergia Cerebellaris Myoclonica : Dyssynergia Cerebellaris Myoclonica refers to a collection of rare, degenerative, neurological disorders characterized by epilepsy, cognitive impairment, myoclonus, and progressive ataxia.  Symptoms: Include seizures, tremor, and reduced muscle coordination.  Onset of the disorder generally occurs in early adulthood.  Tremor may begin in one extremity and later spread to involve the entire voluntary muscular system.  Arms are usually more affected than legs. 

Dysgraphia: A specific learning disability that affects a person’s handwriting ability and fine motor skills . Problems may include illegible handwriting, inconsistent spacing, poor spatial planning on paper, poor spelling, and difficulty composing writing as well as thinking and writing at the same time.

Dyscalculia: It is difficulty in learning or comprehending arithmetic, such as difficulty in understanding numbers, learning how to manipulate numbers, and learning facts in mathematics.

Dysesthesia : An abnormal unpleasant sensation felt when touched, caused by damage to peripheral nerves.

Dysphonia:Impaired Difficulty in speaking due to a physical disorder of the mouth, tongue, throat, or vocal cords.

Dyspepsia:Bad It is a condition of impaired  digestion . A lso called Indigestion.

Dysplasia: The enlargement of an organ or tissue by the proliferation of cells of an abnormal type, as a developmental disorder or an early stage in the development of cancer.

About half the cases of dystonia have no connection to disease or injury and are called primary or idiopathic dystonia. Of the primary dystonias , many cases appear to be inherited. Dystonias can also be symptoms of other diseases, some of which may be hereditary. Dystonia can occur at any age, but is often described as either early, or childhood, onset versus adult onset.
