What is Spinal Cord Injury (SCI)
The spinal cord is the body’s central communication highway between the brain and nerves. A spinal cord injury occurs when there is damage to this pathway due to trauma or disease, leading to loss of motor function, paralysis, or even spinal shock.Types of Spinal Cord Injuries:
- Complete spinal cord injury – no motor/sensory function below injury
- Incomplete spinal cord injury – partial function remains
- Spinal cord compression – pressure on the spinal cord affecting signals
- Spinal cord contusion – bruising of the spinal tissue
Based on Region:
- Cervical spine injury – affects neck, arms, and may lead to quadriplegia
- Thoracic spine injury – affects upper back, abdominal muscles
- Lumbar spine injury – impacts hips, legs, may cause paraplegia
Symptoms of Spinal Cord Damage
Signs of a spinal cord injury vary based on location and severity, and may include:- Sudden paralysis after accident
