The spinal has got vital nerve cells that send messages from the brain to the muscles, skin and other body organs. These cells also send sensations form the body to the brain for example, pain, temperature, texture and etc; a person with spinal injury will experiences loss of sensation and movement below the point of the injury. Spinal injury means damage of the spinal cord either from a traumatic injury such as a motor accident or non-traumatic injury such as a tumour, haemorrhage and blood clot.
Common symptoms and Risks
The duration of this loss including its extension all depends on the injury’s nature; if there’s a minor damage or if the injury is partial that means that the movement and sensation will return but it could take up to two years or more but if the damage is totally summed in, the loss of functionality is likely to be permanent.
