lumbar spinal cord injuries
Lumbar spinal cord injuries occur in the lower back region of the spine, affecting the lumbar vertebrae. These injuries can result from trauma, such as falls or accidents, and may lead to varying degrees of loss of function, sensation, or mobility in the lower body. The severity of the injury often depends on the location and extent of the damage.
Symptoms of lumbar spinal cord injuries can include pain, weakness, or numbness in the legs and feet. In some cases, individuals may experience difficulties with bladder and bowel control. Rehabilitation and therapy are essential for recovery and improving quality of life after such injuries.
