Surfer’s Myelopathy
Beginner surfer left paralysed after suffering rare surfer’s myelopathy
A 20-year-old beginner surfer has been left paralysed after suffering an extremely rare spinal cord injury caused by hyperextension from paddling.
Mycah Muranka, then 19, hadn’t surfed in around a year when he paddled out with his aunt, Shauna Alip, at Marineland on Oahu’s south shore.
But Mycah was rushed to Queen’s Medical Center in Honolulu shortly after getting in the water, with severe back pain and pins and needles in his legs. After undergoing medical examinations, Mycah was diagnosed with surfer’s myelopathy, a rare condition in beginner surfers who may not be used to the repetitive strain of arching their back while paddling. Tragically, the condition means that Mycah may not be able to walk again.
