A spinal cord injury (SCI) is a condition characterized by damage to the spinal cord, which is a crucial part of the central nervous system. It often results in the loss of sensory and motor function below the level of the injury. SCIs can occur due to traumatic incidents like accidents, falls, or sports injuries, as well as non-traumatic causes such as infections, tumors, or degenerative conditions. The severity and location of the injury determine the extent of functional impairment. Paralysis or loss of sensation may affect various parts of the body, impacting an individual's mobility and quality of life.
