Spinal cord injuries are very serious but it is possible to survive even with a severed spinal cord. The complications that set in due to the injury depend on the location of the damage. Describe the physical condition of a person who has an injury in the lumbar region. What specific effects would this have on the body?
Also, describe the physical condition of a person who has an injury in the lower cervical region. (Injuries on the upper cervical region would result in death so skip that as a possibility for this activity.) What specific effects would this have on the body?
Are there any possible treatments on the horizon for people who have such an injury?
