Types of Spinal Cord Injury
Spinal cord injuries are classified as complete or partial, depending upon how many of the nerves in the spinal cord are damaged. If a spinal cord is complete, there is no sensation or voluntary movement below the point of injury and both sides of the body are affected. If a spinal cord injury is partial, or incomplete, there is some function and feeling below the point of injury. The victim may be able to move one limb more than the other or have more sensation on one side than the other. Whether a spinal cord injury is complete or partial may determine the outcome of the injury. Many individuals with partial spinal cord injury may experience significant recovery, while victims with complete spinal cord injury are often permanently paralyzed.
While there currently is no way to reverse damage to the spinal cord the goal of rehabilitation helps prevent further injury and educates people with spinal cord injuries to return to an active and productive life. Because of these irreversible damages, it is important to work with lawyers that have extensive experience and expertise in spinal cord injury cases.
