| A spinal cord injury (SCI) is the damage to the spinal cord, which leads to permanent or temporary changes in its function. Most cases of SCI occur due to physical traumas including gunshots, sports injuries, car accidents, tumors, infection, etc. It is characterized by a loss of muscle function, autonomic function or sensation in different parts of the body, particularly in the areas below the level of the injury. Depending on the injury, damage can extend into a state between paralysis and incontinence. SCI patients need to undergo extended periods of care. However, even with the best possible treatment, SCI generally results in some incurable impairment. There has been tremendous research in the treatment of these injuries such as stem cell implantation, epidural spinal stimulation, engineered materials for tissue support and wearable robotic exoskeletons. This book is a compilation of chapters that discuss the most vital concepts and emerging trends in the field of spinal cord injury medicine. It aims to shed light on some of the unexplored aspects of spinal cord injuries and the recent researches in their medical management. For all those who are interested in this field, this book can prove to be an essential guide. |
