Consequences of Spinal Cord Injury

McElyea, Santos & Barnard P.A. - Spinal Cord Injuries

The physical and emotional consequences of a spinal cord injury can be devastating. The spinal cord does not need to be severed for function to be lost; both motor and sensory functions may be lost due to bruising, compression, or tearing. Spinal cord injuries generally fall under the following categories:

  • Paraparesis: Partial paralysis of the lower limbs.
  • Paraplegia: Complete paralysis of the lower limbs and usually the lower torso.
  • Quadriparesis: Partial paralysis of all four limbs.
  • Quadriplegia: Complete paralysis of all four limbs.
