Spinal Cord Injury Home Care
.
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is referred as damage to the spinal cord that causes a loss of function, such as sensation or movement. Trauma, like a car crash, fall, sports injury, or violent act, as well as disease or degeneration, like cancer, infections, or arthritis, can result in this damage. Signals from the brain are sent to the body’s other organs through the spinal cord, However, when there is a disruption in the communication pathway due to a spinal cord injury it can result in various degrees of functional impairment.
