Common types of SCIs include:

  • Spinal cord compression
  • Complete spinal cord injury
  • Incomplete spinal cord injury
  • Spinal contusions

The long-term effects of this type of injury will vary depending on the extent and severity of the injury.

An individual with a spinal cord injury may experience complications such as:

  • Paralysis
  • Loss of sensation
  • Cardiovascular injuries
  • Bladder dysfunction
  • Bowel dysfunction
  • Breathing difficulty

Spinal cord injuries can also cause depression, anxiety, loss of employment, and may significantly impact a person’s enjoyment of life and quality of life.

Paraplegia commonly involves the paralyzation of the legs and hips. The injured site is often located mid-back.

Quadriplegia

Quadriplegia will paralyze the individual below the neck, resulting in the loss of mobility and sensation in the legs, torso, chest, and arms. Additionally, this type of paralysis can also involve internal organs.

Diplegia

Diplegia will paralyze the same area on both sides of the body, such as both legs or both arms.

Hemiplegia

Hemiplegia paralyzes a leg and arm on the same side of the body.

Monoplegia

Monoplegia will paralyze one limb.
