Patients do not recover from paraplegia, and recovery can only be partial. Paraplegia is mainly caused by transverse damage to the spinal cord due to fluid accumulation, injury or some disease factors, and the limbs and trunk below the injury site are unable to move.
The repair ability of the spinal cord is very poor, and generally speaking, it is difficult for patients to recover after developing paraplegia. However, by doing rehabilitation training, it is possible to increase the ability to adapt to society and increase the compensatory ability of the proximal limb, so as to better adapt to society. In addition, the treatment can reduce some complications, improve the patient’s quality of life and prolong life expectancy. Therefore, patients with high paraplegia must be treated under the guidance of specialists in spinal cord injury rehabilitation or neurology in order to obtain better results.
