A patient has an injury to dorsal root of the spinal nerve at the sacral level of the spinal cord. His symptoms will include:
A
motor problems of his legs
B
sensory problems of his legs
C
motor problems of his bladder
D
sensory problems of his bladder
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Spinal root avulsion injuries typically affect ventral and well as dorsal roots, causing paralysis of denervated muscles, loss of sensory and autonomic function, and, most often, neuropathic pain.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Sacral spinal cord injuries affect the hips, back of the thighs, buttocks and pelvic organs. Individuals are most likely able to walk with this level of spinal cord injury. Learn more.

Detailed explanation-4: -If an SCI has damaged the spinal cord, the signals from the brain to the bladder do not work correctly and you might not be able to control your urine.
