What are the consequences of a spinal cord injury? Is it the end of my life after a spinal cord injury? Spinal cord injury can cause pathological changes such as sensory and motor deficits, abnormal reflexes and urinary and fecal incontinence below the level of injury, which is often referred to as “quadriplegia” (referring to spinal cord injuries in the cervical region) and “paraplegia” (referring to spinal cord injuries in the thoracic and lumbar regions). Spinal cord injuries can cause lifelong disability, and many people are unable to care for themselves and require care, and many comorbidities can arise as a result. For example, pressure sores (commonly known as bed sores) caused by prolonged bed rest and local skin pressure, urinary tract infections caused by urinary incontinence, osteoporosis and even fractures caused by prolonged non-standing, contracture and fixation caused by prolonged immobility of the bone and joint, and spasms (commonly known as “cramps”) and pain caused by destruction of spinal nerves. In addition, because there is no effective medical treatment for spinal cord injury, the above-mentioned serious consequences can cause great psychological trauma to the patient, resulting in psychological imbalance, pessimism, disappointment, anxiety, and depression may arise. However, does spinal cord injury mean that life is dark and over? The answer is no. With regular and diligent rehabilitation, most patients can take care of themselves and start a new business to lead a normal life.
