Who I Follow

 Disorders of the Central Nervous System
Spinal cord dis­or­ders are anatom­i­cally related dis­or­ders to this is easy to point out now at this level of dis­cus­sion.  Cur­rently there is no way to repair a spinal nerve.  Once it is cut, that’s it, it’s sev­ered and there’s no way to con­nect them again.
 
Spinal cord damage
Paralysis—loss of motor function
Paraesthesia—loss of sensation
Paraplegia—injury to the spinal cord is between T1 and L2  (What is located below L2?)
Paral­y­sis of the lower limbs
Quad­ri­ple­gia—injury to the spinal cord in the cer­vi­cal region
Paral­y­sis of all four limbs
