SPINAL
CORD INJURY
The sudden life changes
that result after a spinal cord injury are overwhelming. Paraplegics
have loss of motor and sensation in the lower extremities along with
incontinence of urine and stool. Quadriplegics have motor and sensory
loss of both the lower and upper extremities and urinary and bowel incontinence.
Some improvement may occur after intensive rehabilitation and physical
therapy.
However, the patient remains
with marked limitations in every day activities and work related situations.
