Spinal Cord Injury (SCI)

Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) occurs when damage to the spinal cord disrupts communication between the brain and parts of the body. This can result from trauma, such as a fall or accident, or diseases. The severity depends on where and how much the spinal cord is affected. Injuries can cause varying degrees of loss of movement, sensation, or both below the injury site. While some people may recover partially, others may face permanent paralysis or weakness. SCI requires medical attention to manage symptoms and improve quality of life, often involving rehabilitation and support services.
