Spinal Cord Injuries
spinal cord injuries (SCIs) are serious and life-altering conditions that occur when damage to the spinal cord results in a loss of function, such as mobility or sensation below level of lesion
These injuries can be caused by various traumatic events, including car accidents, falls, sports injuries, and acts of violence. Here’s an overview of spinal cord injuries, their impact, and the current approaches to treatment and management.
Types of Spinal Cord Injuries
- Complete SCI: There is a total loss of motor and sensory function below the level of injury.
- Incomplete SCI: There is some preservation of motor or sensory function below the level of injury. This can vary widely in severity and function.
Causes
- Traumatic causes: Car accidents, falls, sports injuries, and violent incidents (such as gunshot or stab wounds).
- Non-traumatic causes: Diseases such as tumors, infections, or inflammation can also lead to SCIs.
