AB Spinal  cord  injury  (SCI)  results  from  trauma  or  damage  to  the  spinal  cord,  causing  disruption  of  communication  between  the  brain  and  spinal  cord  to  end  organs  and  limbs,  with  resultant  sensory,  motor,  and  autonomic  dysfunction.  The  causes  of  SCI  can  be  divided  into  traumatic  and  nontraumatic.  Traumatic  causes  are  typically  high-velocity  events  producing  neurologic  deficits  that  occur  with  an  acute  and  recognizable  onset.  Nontraumatic  injuries  tend  to  have  a  subacute  to  chronic  course,  with  slower  onset  of  neurologic  deficits.
