A spinal cord injury that causes loss of movement typically involves damage to the motor pathways in the spinal cord, often resulting in paralysis. Injuries at or above the cervical region (C1-C8) can lead to quadriplegia, affecting all four limbs, while injuries in the thoracic (T1-T12) or lumbar (L1-L5) regions may result in paraplegia, impacting the lower limbs. The severity and extent of movement loss depend on the level and completeness of the injury. Complete injuries result in total loss of function below the injury site, while incomplete injuries may allow for some movement or sensation.
