Abstract
This case report describes a 26-year-old female fitness instructor in excellent health who suffered the acute onset of permanent quadriplegia only a few minutes after using progressive resistance exdercise devices. She began her workday as she usually did - with a light workout of low-resistance exercise that lasted about 20 minutes. The onset of quadriplegia may have been a tragic coincidence or may have been related to her workout in a way that remains unexplained. Several possible causes of her condition, which was diagnosed as spinal apoplexy of an unknown cause, are discussed. Verf.-Referat
