What Happens after a Spinal Cord Injury?

The spinal cord is a column of nerves that transmit messages from the brain to the body. When it is severely injured, it may lose its ability to receive and relay messages.

Effects of spinal cord injury can vary from person to person with the severity of the injury. Some individuals may have limited movement, function, and sensation. A person who suffers complete spinal cord injury will have no movement, function, or sensation below the point of the injury.

Falls: Most spinal cord injuries suffered by people age 65 and older are caused by falls, which account for more than 15% of all spinal cord injuries.
Acts of violence: Violent acts cause approximately 12% of all spinal cord injuries, often involving knife wounds or gunshot.
