It extends from the base of the brain down to somewhere near your waist. The nerves within the spinal cord constitute a pathway that carries messages back and forth from your brain to all parts of your body. This vital pathway is protected by a column of bony rings called vertebrae that surround the spinal cord. When an injury causes the vertebrae to break and press up against the spinal cord, the nerves within can be damaged, and the pathway broken or interrupted.</p> 780<p>The break or interruption means that the messages that flow between the brain and the spinal cord can no longer get through. The paralysis that results depends on the location and extent of the break.</p> 781<p>Itâs a common misconception that the spinal cord is severed in people with a spinal cord injury. In fact, in most people with SCI, the spinal cord is intact; it is the cellular damage to the nerves that causes paralysis. This damage can occur even without damage to the vertebrae.</p> 782<p><strong>Complete Spinal Cord Injuries</strong></p> 783<p>A spinal cord injury is called âcompleteâ if all feeling and ability to control movement is lost below the level of the injury, which suggests that no messages are getting through the spinal cord. With a complete spinal cord injury, you have no feeling or movement below the level of the injury. The damage to the nerves prevents any message from going back and forth between your body and your brain.</p> 784<p><strong>Incomplete Spinal Cord Injuries</strong></p> 785<p>With an incomplete spinal cord injury, the ability of the spinal cord to convey messages to and from the brain is not completely lost. Some signals still get through despite the damage. This means you have some feeling and movement below the level of the injury. With advances in the acute treatment of spinal cord injuries, incomplete injuries are becoming more common.</p> 786<p><strong>Paraplegia</strong></p> 787<p>Paraplegia involves loss of movement and feeling in the lower half of the body. It means that paralysis affects all or part of the trunk and both legs, but not the arms-. It usually happens as a result of injuries at T1 or below.</p> 788<p><strong>Quadriplegia (also called Tetraplegia)</strong></p> 789<p>Quadriplegia involves the loss of movement and feeling in all four limbs–both arms and legs. It usually happens as a result of an injury at T1 or above.</p> 790<p><strong>Effects on the Body</strong></p> 791<p>People with SCI often have medical complications resulting in bladder, bowel and sexual dysfunction. They may also develop chronic pain, respiratory complications, spasticity, unstable blood pressure and heart problems. Autonomic Dysreflexia, a condition in which the involuntary nervous system causes a dangerous spike in blood pressure that can lead to stroke, may affect people with spinal cord injuries at or above the T6 level.</p> 792</div> 793 <div class="tab_content 794 hide " 795 id=""><p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-241756 size-full lazyload" src="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAyMAAAJsAQAAAADG0UFlAAAAAnRSTlMAAHaTzTgAAABUSURBVHja7cGBAAAAAMOg+VPf4ARVAQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPAM9wgAAfHGbvoAAAAASUVORK5CYII=" alt="ASIA Impairment Scale" width="803" height="620" data-src="https://facingdisability.com/wp-content/uploads/ASIA-Scale.gif" data-eio-rwidth="803" data-eio-rheight="620" /><noscript><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-241756 size-full" src="https://facingdisability.com/wp-content/uploads/ASIA-Scale.gif" alt="ASIA Impairment Scale" width="803" height="620" data-eio="l" /></noscript></p> 796<p><strong>ASIA Impairment Scale</strong></p> 797<p>The ASIA Impairment Scale is another helpful guide to understanding an injury. It was developed by doctors at the American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) to categorize the extent of an injury in terms of the degree of damage to the spinal cord.</p> 798<p>If the injury is âcomplete,â (ASIA A) it means that no messages can travel across the location of the injury to the brain. However, âincompleteâ injuries, which mean that some messages can still get through, are classified as ASIA B, ASIA C or ASIA D, depending on amount of movement and feeling that remain below the level of the injury. Here are the classifications:</p> 799<table style="height: 379px; width: 708px; border-style: solid; border-color: #000000;"> 800<tbody> 801<tr style="height: 71px;"> 802<td style="width: 797.111px; border-color: #000000; border-style: solid; height: 71px; padding: 8px;">ASIA A: Complete, no motor or sensory function is preserved below the level of the injury, including the sacral segments S4 â S5</td> 803</tr> 804<tr style="height: 71px;"> 805<td style="width: 797.111px; height: 71px; border-style: solid; border-color: #000000; padding: 8px; text-align: left;">ASIA B: Incomplete Sensory, but not motor function is preserved below the neurological level of injury, and includes the sacral segments S4 â S5</td> 806</tr> 807<tr style="height: 95px;"> 808<td style="width: 797.111px; height: 95px; border-style: solid; border-color: #000000; padding: 8px;">ASIA C: Incomplete, motor function is preserved below the neurological level of injury, but more than half of the key muscles below the level have a muscle grade less than 3 (i.e. unable to move against gravity)</td> 809</tr> 810<tr style="height: 95px;"> 811<td style="width: 797.111px; height: 95px; padding: 8px;">ASIA D: Incomplete, motor function is preserved below the neurological level of injury, and at least half the key muscles below the injury level have a muscle grade of 3 or more (i.e. joints can be moved against gravity</td> 812</tr> 813<tr style="height: 47px;"> 814<td style="width: 797.111px; height: 47px; border-style: solid; border-color: #000000; padding: 8px;">ASIA E: Normal, motor and sensory functions are normal</td> 815</tr> 816</tbody> 817</table> 818</div> 819 <div class="tab_content 820 hide " 821 id=""><h4>Â </h4> 822<h4>VIDEOâ Anatomy of the Spinal Cord and How it Works</h4> 823<p> </p> 824<div style="position: relative; display: block; max-width: 960px;"> 825<div style="padding-top: 56.25%;"><iframe style="position: absolute; top: 0px; right: 0px; bottom: 0px; left: 0px; width: 100%; height: 100%;" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" data-src="https://players.brightcove.net/6057940521001/default_default/index.html?videoId=6061084678001" class="lazyload"></iframe></div> 826</div> 827<p>This video âAnatomy of the Spinal Cord and How it Worksâ is an easy-to-understand guide to the spinal pathway, the vital communication system that connects the brain and the body. It shows you where the cervical, thoracic, lumbar and sacral vertebrae are located on the spinal column and how the nerves branch from them to send messages to the brain about feeling and movement. It tells you the meaning of spinal injury classifications like C5, T4 and L1, and what they actually signify in terms of loss of feeling, control and the ability to move.</p> 828<p>A listing of the spinal cord injury levels and how they affect movement and sensation are right below the video on this page.

C6 injuries often result in shoulder and biceps control, but no control at the wrist or hand. C6 injuries generally yield wrist control, but no hand function. Individuals with C7 and T1 injuries can straighten their arms but still may have problems with their hands.</p> 834<p><strong>Thoracic Vertebrae Levels: T1 – T12</strong></p> 835<p>The first thoracic vertebrae, T1, is located at approximately the same level as the top rib. Injuries in the thoracic regi
835on usually affect the chest and legs, and result in paraplegia. For T1 to T8 injuries, there is most often control of the hands, but lack of abdominal muscle control. Lower T-injuries (T9 – T12) allow good trunk control and good abdominal muscle control.</p> 836<p><strong>Lumbar Vertebrae Levels: L1 </strong><strong>– L5</strong></p> 837<p>Injuries to nerves in the area of L1 – L5 generally result in some loss of functioning of the hips and legs. Bowel, bladder and sexual function may also be impacted.</p> 838<p><strong>Sacrum Levels: Â S1 – S5</strong></p> 839<p>The Sacral Vertebrae run from the pelvis to the end of the spinal column. Injuries to S1 – S5 generally result in some loss of functioning in the hips, legs, ankles and feet. Loss of control of bowel, bladder and sexual functions is also common.</p> 840</div> 841 <div class="tab_content 842 hide " 843 id=""></div> 844 <div class="tab_content 845 hide " 846 id=""><p><strong>Causes of Spinal Cord Injuries</strong></p> 847<p>Vehicle crashes are the most common causes of spinal cord injuries in the U.S. They account for about 40 per cent of the estimated 17,000 new cases each year. Another 30 per cent are caused by falls; acts of violence involving gunshot and knife wounds account for about 13 per cent. Athletic activities cause about 9 per cent. Use of alcohol is a factor in about 1 out of every 4 spinal cord injuries.

Treatment typically begins at the scene of the accident when emergency personnel immobilize the spine as gently and quickly as possible, using a neck collar and rigid carrying board to prevent additional damage to the spinal cord. The steroid drug methylprednisolone appears to reduce the damage to nerve cells if it is given within the first eight hour after injury. However, it is not a cure for spinal cord injury.</p> 877<p><strong>Surgery After Spinal Cord Injury</strong></p> 878<p>Surgery to relieve compression of the spinal tissue by surrounding bones that have been broken or dislocated by the injury is often necessary.

Research projects that focus on ways to protect surviving nerve cells from more damage, stimulate the regrowth of nerve cells, replace damaged nerve cells and retrain the central nervous system to form new nerve pathways are showing some promising results.</p> 906<p>Rehabilitation research projects investigate the types of therapy that work best to restore function and promote patient mobility. They include active rehabilitation and exercise, epidural stimulation (electrical stimulation of the spine) functional electrical stimulation (using a computer and electrodes to deliver small bursts of electricity to paralyzed muscles) and such things robotic assisted therapy, including Lokomats and exoskeletons. Brain-computer interfaces that bypass the spinal cord and use implanted electrodes to translate thoughts into physical movement are showing some results.</p> 907<p><strong>Clinical Trials</strong></p> 908<p><a href="https://www.ninds.nih.gov/Disorders/Clinical-Trials/Find-Ninds-Clinical-Trials?province=All&field_disorders_taxonomy_tags_tid=spinal+cord+injury">The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) maintains a current list of ongoing clinical trials.

They focus on stretching and strengthening to increase your range of motion, on key mobility functions, such as sitting up and rolling around in bed, transferring from bed to wheelchair and back again and on developing wheelchair mobility skills.</p> 946<p>Itâs important to find a physical center that knows how to deal with people with spinal cord injuries. Since spinal cord injuries are relatively rare, many facilities have had little or no experience in working with SCI patients.

In addition to helping you learn to take care of yourself (bathe, dress, eat) your occupational therapist is primarily interested in helping you find a way to get back to doing the things you want to do.</p> 949<p><strong>Recreational Therapy</strong></p> 950<p>As you might guess, recreational therapy focuses on helping you to find ways to get out in the world and enjoy the activities you used to enjoy before you were injured. They help you find adaptive sports, and adaptive sports equipment and find ways to do outdoor activities like boating, sailing, camping and fishing. Adaptive recreation plays an important role in recovery.</p> 951</div> 952 <div class="tab_content 953 hide " 954 id=""><p>About 20 per cent of all SCIs occur to children and adolescents, mostly as the result of motor-vehicle accidents.
