Please take some time to review this website created by a man with SCI.
Spinal Cord Injury: a Medical, Rehabilitative and General approach
http://www.users.sgi.net/%7Eozzy/handicap.htm
Specifically, review the links under SCI Information, statistics and rehab, and answer the following questions:
1. What is the differences between paraplegia and quadriplegia in terms of the specific area of the spinal cord where the injury occurs?
2. What are the difference between a complete and an incomplete lesion?
3. What is Autonomic Dysreflexia?
4. What causes this condition and how can it be prevented?
5. After you review the article on the rehab process for a person with SCI, tell me what you think your biggest adjustment would be if you had a spinal cord injury.
