Types of Spinal Cord Injuries
Complete Spinal Cord Injury (SCI)
A complete SCI is the most serious injury. Damage to the spinal cord is permanent and can cause paralysis below the waist (paraplegia) or in the upper and lower part of the body (tetraplegia, also known as quadriplegia).
Incomplete SCI
Incomplete SCIs account for more than 60% of spinal cord injuries. In an incomplete SCI, the spinal cord suffers from partial damage, which can result in restriction of sensation, movement, or both. Paralysis in one arm and both legs is known as triplegia and may be considered an incomplete SCI.
Cervical SCI
Injury to the head and/or neck area of the spine.
Thoracic SCI
Injury to the abdominal region, and/or back and upper chest locations of the spine.
Lumbar SCI
Injury to the hip and/or lower back area of the spine.
Sacral SCI
Injury to the spine near the buttocks, thighs, and/or pelvic region.
