Understanding
Spinal Cord Injury (SCI)
What is SCI?
A spinal cord injury (SCI) is trauma damaging the spinal cord, leading to paralysis and loss of sensation below the injury. This disrupts brain-body communication, affecting motor function, sensory perception, and autonomic functions such as bladder and bowel control.
Causes
SCI can occur due to accidents such as falls, vehicle collisions, sports injuries, acts of violence, or medical conditions like tumors or infections. Each case is unique, and the impact on an individual's life can be profound and sudden.
