The Effects of Spinal Cord Injuries

Spinal cord injuries occur from a number of different types of accidents, such as car or motorcycle accident, SUV rollovers, slip and falls, construction injury, or an impact injury as a pedestrian or cyclist. The spinal cord itself does not necessarily have to be severed in order for it to lose its full function.

There are basically two levels of injury that may occur to the spinal cord:

• Complete spinal cord injury - There is no function, sensation or voluntary movement below the level of the injury. This may result in quadriplegia or paraplegia.
• Incomplete spinal cord injury - There is some function, sensation or voluntary movement. One might be able to move a part of the body or have sensation in one part, but not another. This may result in permanent disability or paraplegia.
