Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The muscles involved in bending the hips (hip flexors) and bringing the legs together (hip adductors) are also connected to the spinal cord at this level. Thus, individuals with an L2 spinal cord injury will be able to feel their upper thighs and move their hips, but may be unable to move or feel their lower legs.
Detailed explanation-2: -An injury to the T10 vertebra will likely result in a limited or complete loss of use of the lower abdomen muscles, as well as the buttocks, legs, and feet. A minor injury will result in minor symptoms such as weakness, numbness, as well as partial or complete lack of muscle control over only one side of the body.
