Spinal cord injuries (SCIs) result from damage to the spinal cord, disrupting the communication between the brain and the body. They can be classified into two main categories: complete injuries, where there is a total loss of function below the level of injury, and incomplete injuries, where some degree of function is retained.
Common causes of spinal cord injuries include motor vehicle accidents, falls, sports injuries, and acts of violence.
