Spinal Cord Injuries

The spinal cord is the column of nerve tissue, protected by the bones of the spine, that delivers messages between the brain and the rest of the body. A spinal cord injury can damage or destroy the conduit that transmits the brain's messages to the body. When this occurs, the part of the body controlled by the affected area of the spinal cord may lose its ability to function.

The closer a spinal cord injury occurs to the head, the larger the area of the body that is affected. A complete spinal cord injury occurs when the affected area loses all sensation and muscle control. Most spinal cord injuries occur due to bruising rather than a severing of the spinal cord.

Consequences of Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury

  • Paraparesis: Partial paralysis of the lower extremities
  • Paraplegia: Complete paralysis of the lower extremities and usually the lower trunk
  • Quadriparesis: Partial paralysis of all four extremities
  • Quadriplegia: Complete paralysis of all four extremities
