Spinal cord injuries are those that result in damage to the spinal cord, a bundle of nerves that are located in the spinal column. There are two broad main categories: incomplete and complete. Incomplete spinal injuries entail that the spinal cord has been partially severed or damaged. These injuries are increasingly common, accounting for more than 60% of spinal cord injuries due to increased medical knowledge and enhanced treatment. Some of the most common incomplete spinal injuries include: Anterior cord syndrome: Impacting the front of the spinal cord, this injury impacts the cord’s motor and sensory pathways, making movement increasingly difficult and lessening sensitivity. Central cord syndrome: Impacting the center of the spinal cord, this injury damages nerves that relay signals to the spinal cord from the brain. Resulting effects can include loss of fine motor functions, partial impairment and arm paralysis, and loss of bladder and bowel control and sexual functions. Brown-sequard syndrome: This injury, which results in loss of movement capabilities impacting one side of the body more than the other, results from damage to one side of the spinal cord. Complete spinal injuries entail that the spine has been completely severed at the injury site, effectively eliminating function of the nerves located below. These injuries result in loss of function due to a complete severance of the spinal cord. However, it may be possible to regain some abilities with the help of therapy and other medical treatment.
