The spinal cord is one of the most essential components in our body structure. It houses part of the central nervous system (CNS), which aids us with our reflexes, sensory processing, and many more functions relevant to our daily life. The spinal cord also supports our neck and head as well as keeping us upright and straight as a whole. A spinal cord injury is when some damage or fracture to the spinal cord affects its structure and function, and it can be extremely debilitating and life-changing. This is because it can affect the CNS which is in charge of motor and sensory function.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), about 250,000 and 500,000 people suffer from a spinal cord injury each year globally. In America, the most common cause of this injury is automobile accidents. But generally, they are also due to preventable causes such as a fall or physical violence. The WHO says that males are most at risk at the ages of 20-29 years old and 70+ years old, while females are most at risk at the ages of 15-19 years old and 60+ years old. Those who experience spinal cord injury are 2-5 times more likely to die prematurely than those who have not been affected. This is a fairly prevalent issue given its severity and impact on life.
