PATIENT CENTRED REHABILITATION
The International Spinal Injuries & Rehabilitation Centre, housed at the Royal Buckinghamshire Hospital in Aylesbury, provides patient centred multidisciplinary rehabilitation programmes for patients with spinal injury, head injury, strokes and neurological conditions.

INTERNATIONAL SPINAL INJURIES & REHABILITATION CENTRE


SPINAL INJURY
A spinal cord injury is damage or trauma to the spinal cord that results in a loss or impaired function resulting in reduced mobility or feeling. It is often caused by trauma e.g.: a car accident, gunshot, falls, sports injuries, or a disease e.g.:Transverse Myelitis, Polio, Spina Bifida, Friedreich's Ataxia, The resulting damage to the cord is known as a lesion, and the paralysis is known as quadraplegia or tetraplegia if the injury is in the cervical region (see diagram), or as paraplegia if the injury is in the Thoracic, Lumbar or Sacral region.

It is estimated that there are 40,000 people in the UK alone that are paralysed through spinal cord injury. The spinal cord is part of the central nervous system and carries signals to and from the brain, controlling almost every function of the body. When there is damage or trauma to the spinal cord it will result in loss or impaired function causing reduced mobility and/or feeling. The effects of spinal cord injury depend on the type and level of the injury. Injuries can be divided into two areas:

Complete - means that there is no function, (no sensation or voluntary movement) below the level of the injury.

Incomplete – there is some function below the level of injury. A person may be able to feel parts of the body that cannot be moved, they may be able to move one limb more than the other.
