Spinal cord injury

Sažetak
Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) disrupts neurological communication between the brain and the body ; consequently the motor signals from brain to the body and the peripheral sensory influx to brain centres are corrupted or completely fail to bypass the level of injury of the spinal cord. The outcome is often a complex and catastrophic injury which is immensely challenging to manage. SCI can lead to devastating medical, social, emotional, psychological, and financial burdens. Such burdens inevitably affect not only the patients, but also their families, friends, employers and ultimately the community as a whole. Additionally, SCI has a derogatory impact on school enrolment, education and economic participation. This could lead to substantially high financial negative influences on the individual and the society
