Levels of Function in Spinal Cord Injury

- Spinal cord injuries range from minor to severe, the labeling of these injuries can sometimes be confusing. This video explains the different severities of these labels, as well as exactly what areas are affected by these injuries.
Please visit BrainAndSpinalCord.org for more information.
It's good that this video differentiates from minor to severe of spinal injuries.
This is a very informative presentation of what the function labels mean. The causes of spinal cord injuries seem to follow no pattern. One person may fall or lift something and damage their spine, while another may not.
It is a very useful information for spinal cord injury.
Thank you for taking the time to make this very helpful video.
Very educational. Thank you!
Very informative. Thank you for posting this video!
Watching this for a psychology lecture, found it very clarifying. thanks :]
I have c1-2 damage, I have alot of pain and limited movement due to a spinal fusion, but I am lucky to still have full use of my limbs and digits just some numbness. Good luck to all with spine injuries and for petes sake hurry up with the stem cell research!!!
c-6-7 incomplete for over 35 years AMEN to the stem cell research.

My brother in law had a problem of injured c6 and c7. He don't have any sensation from chest to till foot. Can you please suggest how can he recovered which will be great helpful.
@@tacobob4123 You have injury from 35 years?????????
Remy Lucious as long as there are religious fanatics out there stem cell research will never go ahead.
Thanks for the information
so interesting and educative.
thanks for the info
The education material is very well. Thanks!
Levels of functions is more important than levels of injury.
So great!
Would have liked to heard more detail about the Lumbar region
Me to
this was very educational. I personally feel that if I had a c1-3 SCI then I would not wish to further exist. That's me personally.
Silly to say that first seven months you'd be parilised probably flat bed no pillow.And a sever neck brace,you get to know ceiling tiles by name.No pad bed rolled by six plus nurses.Rehab is yellow brick road stuff.Then when you see your legs no muscles you wanna do something for them.You would live believe me you definatly would.
Last year I found out that I had a cyst on my C3-4 that had actually been there many many years. When I listened to this I thought of my old shoulder surgery from back in 1999. I believe and always have that that shoulder injury led to that cyst on my C 3-4 But God is good I am still walking and doing everything I need to do.
Thanks that one was a lot of info for me :D
im a T12,L1 ,i have mobile movement,i wear AFO braces that i wear,they help stand,i goto to store if something is on topshelf i can stand up and get it,i have skin sensation all the way down to about few inches above ankle
I have C3/4 C6/7 and L1 down injury and a manyual wheelchair is a no no due to the stress on the neck and other disks.
This is really Informative...i had Spinal Spondy. @ C2~C5, and i took Elakizhi Ayurvedic Treatment (India) now i feel ok but area at T means i am not able to do slant work-can't bend...even can't seat...so want to understand the same.
Thanks for your information...
Thank you how wever made this
I think at C7 there should be adduction and abduction of the thumb in the plane of the palm but no opposition of the thumb which requires C8 as does thumb abduction perpendicular to the palm. I have an injury at T4 but am currently experiencing some of the problems that some quads might have due a compression of the ulnar nerve.
A nurse caring for a patient with a T1 spinal cord injury would watch the patient for signs of what complication related to compromised exhalation and overall respiratory function?
a. pleural friction
b. pneumonia
c. pulmonary embolism
d. shortness of breath
D?
Pneumonia
it makes me move my body parts from shoulder down, and understand how the spinal cord is so important... and that i take it for freakin granted
Paralysis of the right side foot sometimes usually occurs at what site? Or numbness
Do people with C6 or C7 level injuries have function that allows them to abduct and adduct the thumb?
Is it possible to get video?
i thought a c-7 pt can't propell themselves in a w/c due to lack of tricep extension?
I have a spinal cord injoury and I'm stating to walk with walking frame
Level is one part, completeness is another. Immediate post-injury care can influence this. I am a C-6 incomplete, and can walk as well as move all digits. My right hand is normal, as is my left leg.
Me too

I have right hand damage so you help me with sajetion
I have a L1 injury I had a car accident 12yrs ago.im classed as a incomplete paraplegic
Sorry..can u walk?
I'm a t5 spinal cord injury and I'm responding to a t10 spinal cord injury and I'm walking can that happen or am I the first person in the world to do that
+eoindarkside Hello, It is very surprising to me that you are able to walk with a T5 SCI. Usually, patients with a T5 injury will have some basic upper chest stability but will have no trunk movement, let alone hip flexion. This is very surprising and does sound quite odd. Even with a T10 SCI, patients will still not have full control of the trunk or hips. It is not until the SCI is below the thoracic region, (i.e. in the lumbar or sacral region) in which patients will be able to use their legs.
+eoindarkside walking normally??well im happy for you
eoindarkside I also have a T5 injury, but have no movement or feeling below my mid chest (except for strong involuntary muscle spasms). I have had some feeling and movement return for about 2 days(2 years after the injury occurred), after continuously trying to move my legs and toes for about 7 hours (which is very mentally exhausting), but I lost it after about a day.
It sounds like you don't have a Complete injury, which allows for some signals to travel past the point of injury. You are pretty lucky.
Do you have control of your bowels and bladder?
Could be that the diagnosis may not have been accurate which can happen.
My boyfriend is paralyzed from waist down what damage is that
iam c5 doc said I shouldn't be walking
D12
Brust fracture
But walking with little bit frame support
What I can do, that I can walk independently again?
What is your condition now?
Can you walk?
When did C8 start happening? I thought it stopped at C7.
There are 7 cervcial vertebra but 8 nerves. The C1 nerve lays above the C1 vertebra and the C8 nerve lays below the C7 vertebra. The thoracic and lumbar regions are normal though with all of the corresponding nerves lying blow the vertebra. SCIENCE DUDE. WEIRD STUFF. :)
Ah, well thank you. I just learned something new.
1:23 *Why 8 cervical vertebrae?* Those a are 7 (C1-C7).
I am producing a new documentary about the life of Dan Cummings, who was paralyzed in 2000 and learned how to walk and live outside of his wheelchair. An incredibly inspirational story. "Mile Of Hope: The Dan Cummings Story"
Where is d11
alguien podría traducir lo q dice de las lesiones t7 a t12 gracias
Ella ha dicho que ellos tienen los mismos posibilidades como los en C8 a T6, pero con un poco más de control sobre el cuerpo.
does anyone here ever heard of sciwora(sci without radiological abnormalities)? i am having this rare case due to motorcycle accident, MRI 2x, XRay 2x, CT Scan and still no evidence of broken spine or something. i am having numbness @ my forearm, abdominal down to legs. but my sexual organ is working fine, bladder n bowel is not, also the doctor seemed to guess it is T10 but why is my biceps n triceps is not working. 3 weeks now and my left leg is pretty mch strong but i feel numbness, while my right leg is so weak but moveable and i feel can feel it much better than left one. i wonder if i can walk soon.
+andrew price i can walk lmao. and my cock was always fine haha

Gimped Ninja exactly. I have S1 and S2 injury. I can manage self care and stuff but I do have some impairment and pain still. Small balance and bathroom issues and some muscle spasm.
Right? Do you have Cauda Equina Syndrome?
I've been shot between my L3 and L4 and my life changed dramaticly ...Social Security KEEPS denying me 😔😔😔
Gerald Bennett I have the very same level of injury also from a gun shot. Have you had any help from S.S. yet?
CardCrush365 I am actually waiting for them to let me know when my hearing is. They also denied both of my appeals. The law firm that I am dealing with told me that the average wait for a hearing where I live is 19 months.
I was approved when I was in a comma.
Sorry to hear that. You must be white
Don't ever say that, not even as a joke. I live with it every day and would never wish it on someone else. Rats spines aren't as complex as human spines and there has been some limited successes with some avenues of research. There are also more legal and ethical concerns apparently about experimenting on people than there are on rats.
9.4 Science!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hiii
Ethics and religion is what is stopping them...
What?
@bistolian1
use ur name to kill the pain,,,sex n drugs!! lmao! ;)
There isn't a 'cure' to spinal cord injury. Just luck of the draw... I've fallen while climbing about 2 metres and landed on my neck. Ambulance took me to hospital, after 8 days of numbness they got my out of bed and I've had no damage, a guy who I worked with tripped off a 3 inch curb and is now in a wheel chair, it's too dangerous to intervene into the spinal cord because more damage can be done by trying to fix the damage done by the original injury.
Hiii
