Detailed explanation-1: -A T6 spinal cord injury can affect motor control and sensation from the top of the abdomen down. Luckily, T6 spinal cord injury patients usually have normal upper extremity functions; therefore, control of the head, neck, shoulders, arms, hands, and chest are often unaffected.
Detailed explanation-2: -T1–T6: Paraplegia (paralysis of the legs and lower body) with full function of arms but loss of function below mid-chest. T6–T12: Paraplegia with control of torso, but loss of function below waist.
Detailed explanation-3: -A C6 spinal cord injury affects the cord near the base of the neck. Injuries to this area of the spinal cord can result in loss of sensation or function of everything in the body from the top of the ribcage on down, including all four extremities.
Detailed explanation-4: -The level of injury: Refers to the point where the spinal cord is injured.
