Spinal Cord Injury

Spinal Cord Injury

A spinal cord injury is basically damage caused to any part of the spinal cord or nerves at the end of the spinal canal. Sometimes it also causes permanent damage to strength, sensation and other body functions that may be related to the site of the injury. However, various spinal cord injury treatments and rehabilitation allow many people with spinal cord injuries to lead productive and independent lives.

The chance of regaining normalcy in the movement after the spinal cord injury depends on two factors:

  •          Place of the injury along your spinal cord
  •          The severity of injury to the spinal cord.

The severity of the injury is often classified as under:

  • Complete: If all the sensory feelings and ability to control movement or as referred to as motor function are lost below the spinal cord injury it is termed as “Complete”.
  • Incomplete: If there are some motor and sensory function below the affected area, the injury is called incomplete.

Also, spinal cord injury may also result in Paralysis which can be further referred to as:

  • Tetraplegia: Here the arms, hands, trunk, legs and pelvic organs are all affected by your spinal cord injury. It may also sometimes referred to as “Quadriplegia”
  • Paraplegia: This paralysis affects a part of the trunk, legs and pelvic organs as suggestive of the name.
