Chronic Spinal Cord Injury

Chronic Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) is an important clinical condition that can lead to lifelong disability, it can occur accidentally or caused by a disease. In traumatic SCI, the initial injury results into spinal cord deformation, laceration, crush and persistent post-injury cord compression occurring within seconds to minutes post-accident. This leads to immediate cell death, axonal disruption, vascular and metabolic changes, which have subsequent effects or so-called secondary injury processes occurring within a few minutes to a few weeks of injury. Subsequently, within a few weeks to a few months post-trauma (chronic SCI), the patient generally experiences the development of several serious medical problems like cardiovascular problems, type II diabetes, sarcopenia, osteoporosis, immune deficiencies and other life-threatening problems.
