    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 ]

  4. Rehabilitation in spinal cord injury - Wikipedia

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

    When treating a person with a spinal cord injury, repairing the damage created by injury is the ultimate goal. By using a variety of treatments, greater improvements are achieved, and, therefore, treatment should not be limited to one method. Furthermore, increasing activity will increase his/her chances of recovery. [1]

The nerve roots from L4–S4 join in the sacral plexus ...

  9. Wallerian degeneration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wallerian_degeneration

    The rate of degradation is dependent on the type of injury and is also slower in the CNS than in the PNS. Another factor that affects degradation rate is the diameter of the axon: larger axons require a longer time for the cytoskeleton to degrade and thus take a longer time to degenerate.
