Understanding Spinal Cord Injury (SCI)
A spinal cord injury involves damage to the spinal cord itself—the vital communication highway that carries signals between your brain and the rest of your body. This disruption affects movement, sensation, and other body functions below the level of the injury.
The causes of SCI are often traumatic, with studies indicating that road traffic accidents and falls account for over 75% of spinal injuries in India. Understanding the specifics of your injury is the first step in creating a realistic and effective rehabilitation plan.
Complete vs. Incomplete Injury
- Complete SCI: A total loss of sensory and motor function below the level of injury. The focus of rehab is on adaptation and learning new ways to achieve independence.
- Incomplete SCI: Some function or sensation remains below the level of injury. In these cases, rehab also focuses on harnessing the potential for further neurological recovery.
Paraplegia and Tetraplegia (Quadriplegia)
- Paraplegia: Affects the trunk, legs, and pelvic organs. Arm and hand function is typically not affected.
- Tetraplegia (Quadriplegia): Affects all four limbs—both arms and both legs—as well as the trunk.
The Goal of SCI Rehabilitation: Empowerment for Life
The primary goal of modern SCI rehabilitation is to empower you with the strength, skills, and knowledge to achieve the highest possible level of functional independence and quality of life. It is a proactive, goal-oriented process that celebrates a new kind of strength and resilience.
