Are there effects of spinal cord injuries? what are they?

Depends on Level: Cervical (quadriplegia) results in the partial or complete loss of arm and leg function as well as the loss of bowel and bladder control and sexual function (males), sensation (females) although some remain able to conceive. Paraplegia (thoracic and lumbar) result in much the same except the arms are spared. Complete injuries (no sensation/movement don't recover. Incomplete have better prognosis.

Dr Seibert agreed

Depends upon level : & if complete or incomplete spinal cord transection injury, or just bruising oe a bleed. Most spinal cord injuries result in loss of normal bladder control & ?Also affect bowel control. Below the neck injuries tend to result in paraplegia, loss to muscle control sensation below level of injury. Cervical injuries can cause quadriplegia, loss of ues of all 4 limbs. V. High cervical need ventilator.
