What is Spinal Cord Injury?
It is estimated that 1,000 people in the UK suffer a spinal cord injury each year. In a matter of seconds, such a catastrophic injury may irrevocably alter the whole pattern of a person’s life causing devastation to the lives of the individual and their families.
Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) is damage caused to the spinal cord by trauma or disease resulting in motor and sensory paralysis. The extent of the paralysis depends on where in the spinal cord the injury occurs. However the paralysis can usually be catagorised in one of two ways: tetraplegia or paraplegia.
These injuries can affect bladder, bowel and sexual function as well as causing respiratory difficulties, pressure sores and significant impairment of mobility.
