Understanding Spinal Cord Injury

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a serious neurological condition that results from damage to the spinal cord, often causing loss of function, sensation, or mobility below the level of injury. SCIs can be complete (total loss of function) or incomplete (partial function remains). Early and intensive physiotherapy is crucial for maximizing recovery, preventing complications, and improving quality of life. Rehabilitation focuses on functional training, mobility, strength, and independence.
