Spinal cord injuries affect over 10,000 Americans every year. Spinal cord injuries, or SCIs, are defined as any damage to the spinal cord that impairs function or mobility, temporarily or permanently.
Causes of SCIs include vehicle accidents, work related accidents, sports injuries and falls, among other things.
Spinal cord injuries can cause permanent or temporary paraplegia and quadriplegia.
SCIs usually cause severe swelling of the spinal cord from the location of the injury downward. As such, patients with spinal cord injuries to the upper part of the spinal column suffer from a greater loss of function and mobility, as more of their bodies are affected. In some cases, motor function and sensation can be recovered, at least in part, though a combination of physical therapy and simply waiting for the effects of the injury to recede.
Victims of spinal cord injuries suffer physical, emotional, and financial damages.
