A member asked:
If there is spinal cord damage to vertebrae t-2 to t-4, what would be damaged?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends if complete: If a complete injury of the spinal cord at that level, the patient will be paraplegic, with full arm function maintained. Loss of sensation will be experienced below level of injury. Neurogenic bowel and bladder will also occur.
