SCIs happen in different locations along the spine and vary in severity. These are the primary types of spinal cord injuries:nComplete SCI: This involves a total loss of sensory and motor function below the level of the injury; the individual loses all feeling and movement below the affected area. Complete SCIs often result in permanent paralysis, impacting mobility and bodily functions such as bladder and bowel control.nnIncomplete SCI: An incomplete SCI allows for some degree of sensory or motor function below the level of the injury. The extent of impairment ranges from partial paralysis to diminished sensation in certain areas of the body. Incomplete SCIs may offer more potential for recovery through rehabilitation efforts, but outcomes are still unpredictable.
