Types of Spinal Cord Injuries

There are different levels of spinal cord injury, the worst of which may cause temporary or even long-term paralysis. Generally, these spinal cord victims cannot regain the full functioning abilities that they had prior to suffering their injuries. In these cases, the victims have likely suffered one of the following forms of paralysis:

• Paraplegia (Partial Paralysis)
• Quadriplegia (Total Paralysis)

Paralysis can cause a number of physical difficulties for the victim. Along with the physical consequences of a spinal cord injury, the victim’s personal life will also likely be affected – including the activities of daily living such as employment, relationships with others and hobbies.
