  2. Spinal cord injury without radiographic abnormality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinal_cord_injury_without...

    SCIWORA may present as a complete spinal cord injury (total loss of sensation and function below the lesion) or incomplete spinal cord injury (some sensation and/or function is preserved). It is present in a significant number of children with SCI. [6] Notably, the clinical symptoms can present with a delay of hours to days after the trauma.

  3. Spinal cord injury - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinal_cord_injury

    In Pakistan, spinal cord injury is more common in males (92.68%) as compared to females in the 20–30 years of age group with a median age of 40 years, although people from 12–70 years of age suffered from spinal cord injury [73] Rates of injury are at their lowest in children, at their highest in the late teens to early twenties, then get ...

  4. Spinal locomotion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinal_locomotion

    The injured spinal cord is an “altered” spinal cord. After a SCI, supraspinal and spinal sources of control of movement differ substantially from that which existed prior to the injury, [20] thus resulting in an altered spinal cord. The automaticity of posture and locomotion emerge from the interactions between peripheral nervous system ...

  5. Thoracic spinal nerve 8 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thoracic_spinal_nerve_8

    The thoracic spinal nerve 8 (T8) is a spinal nerve of the thoracic segment. [ 1 ] It originates from the spinal column from below the thoracic vertebra 8 (T8).

  6. Spinal cord compression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinal_cord_compression

    The most common causes of cord compression are tumors, but abscesses and granulomas (e.g. in tuberculosis) are equally capable of producing the syndrome. Tumors that commonly cause cord compression are lung cancer (non-small cell type), breast cancer, prostate cancer, renal cell carcinoma, thyroid cancer, lymphoma and multiple myeloma.

  7. Myelopathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myelopathy

    When due to trauma, myelopathy is known as (acute) spinal cord injury. When inflammatory, it is known as myelitis. Disease that is vascular in nature is known as vascular myelopathy. In Asian populations, spinal cord compression often occurs due to a different, inflammatory process affecting the posterior longitudinal ligament. [citation needed]

  8. Spinal cord injury research - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinal_cord_injury_research

    Spinal cord injury research seeks new ways to cure or treat spinal cord injury in order to lessen the debilitating effects of the injury in the short or long term. There is no cure for SCI, and current treatments are mostly focused on spinal cord injury rehabilitation and management of the secondary effects of the condition. [ 1 ]

  9. Rehabilitation in spinal cord injury - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rehabilitation_in_spinal...

    Improvement of locomotor function is one of the primary goals for people with a spinal cord injury. SCI treatments may focus on specific goals such as to restore walking or locomotion to an optimal level for the individual. The most effective way to restore locomotion is by complete repair, but techniques are not yet developed for regeneration.
