Detailed explanation-1: -An injury higher on the spinal cord can cause paralysis in most of your body and affect all limbs (tetraplegia or quadriplegia). A lower injury to the spinal cord may cause paralysis affecting your legs and lower body (paraplegia).
Detailed explanation-2: -For further protection, the brain is encased within the hard bones of the skull, while the spinal cord is protected with the bony vertebrae of our backbones. A third form of protection is cerebrospinal fluid, which provides a buffer that limits impact between the brain and skull or between spinal cord and vertebrae.
Detailed explanation-3: -According to the National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center (NSCISC), the two most common types of spinal cord injuries are incomplete tetraplegia and paraplegia, with incomplete spinal cord injuries accounting for more than 65% of all SCIs.
Detailed explanation-4: -Central Cord Syndrome Central cord syndrome is the most common type of incomplete spinal cord injury, making up about 15-25% of all incomplete SCIs. It most commonly occurs when there’s damage to the middle region of the spinal cord from neck hyperextension.
