Science Fiction-like Achievements: A Remarkable Era for Spinal Cord Injury Victims
A spinal cord injury occurs when there is trauma or damage to the spinal cord or nerves at the end of the spinal canal. The severity of SCI varies, ranging from minor nerve damage to complete paralysis, depending on the location and extent of the injury.
The leading causes of spinal cord injury include:
Traumatic events: Motor vehicle accidents, falls, sports injuries, and acts of violence (such as gunshots or stab wounds) are the most common causes.
Non-traumatic causes: Conditions like cancer, osteoporosis, arthritis, and spinal cord infections can also lead to SCI.
