Spinal cord injuries are typically divided into two categories: incomplete and complete.

Incomplete Spinal Cord Injuries

• Anterior cord syndrome – Injury to the front of the spinal cord that damages the motor and sensory pathways.
• Central cord syndrome – This leads to loss of fine motor skills, paralysis of the arms, and partial impairment in the legs.
• Brown-Sequard syndrome – Damage is more severe to one side of the spinal cord.

An incomplete spinal cord injury indicates you still have motor skill function below the injury. For example, you still have movement in your legs.

Complete Spinal Cord Injury

• Tetraplegia – Produces varying degrees of paralysis to all limbs.
• Paraplegia – Affects sensation and movement of the lower half of the body.
• Triplegia – Affects sensation and movement in one arm and both legs.

A complete spinal cord injury means you’ve lost all function below the injury. This type of spinal cord injury can also affect other bodily systems like bladder and bowel function.
