An incomplete spinal cord injury occurs when the cord is damaged, perhaps even partially severed, but still one single unit. A complete spinal cord injury occurs when the spine is severed into more than one piece. Both of these injuries will have lasting consequences.
Depending on the location of the damage, a spinal cord injury may result in a partial or complete loss of muscle and nervous system function. This can include:
- Paralysis
- Loss of bowl and bladder function
- Loss of sexual function
Loss of function typically occurs in those areas of the body controlled by the portion of the spine below the injury.
