An "incomplete injury" refers to a type of spinal cord injury where some sensory or motor function remains below the level of the injury. This means that the individual may still have partial movement or feeling in the affected areas, which distinguishes it from a complete injury, where all function is lost. Incomplete injuries can vary widely in severity and impact. They are often classified into different categories based on the specific functions that are preserved, such as anterior cord syndrome or Brown-Séquard syndrome. Understanding the nature of an incomplete injury is crucial for developing effective rehabilitation strategies.
