Paraplegia has a poor prognosis and can lead to dysfunction in movement, sensation, and urination and defecation, but the prognosis can be improved with timely and effective treatment.
Paraplegia is paralysis caused by a transverse lesion from the cervical expansion of the spinal cord (the second thoracic vertebra) upwards. Paraplegics suffer from a complete loss of sensation, motor function, reflexes, and in severe cases, bladder function and anal function are also impaired, posing a serious threat to their lives and health.
Paraplegic patients can be treated with physical therapy, rehabilitation therapy, psychological intervention therapy, etc., to help patients improve joint movement or enhance residual muscle strength, etc., so as to improve the prognosis of the patients.
It is recommended that patients should consult the doctor in a timely manner, maintain a good attitude, avoid anxiety and other negative emotions, and actively cooperate with the treatment.
