Injuries to the spinal cord affect the innervation of any spinal nerves distal to the point of insult. The extent of the injury and consequential edema often result in the failure of the spinal nerve functioning, with resulting loss of motor and sensory function. Paraplegia is loss of nerve function below the waist and paralysis of the lower trunk and legs. Quadriplegia is loss of nerve function at the cervical region resulting in paralysis of the arms, hands, trunk, and legs.
