What Causes it?

A strong impact to the spine/neck would do it. It is a threat when:
Playing Contact Sports
Diving in Shallow Water

ones.
The technical terms are paralysis and analgesia.

How does this injury affect Movement?
• It all depends on location. The higher up in your spinal cord, the less chance of mobility.

As said by Charlie…
• As an athletic trainer, you should first:
Look for movement as you get to the athlete.
Check consciousness once you’re there.
See if they’re breathing.
If they are breathing, tend to the spine.
Keep the spine aligned by the neck until EMTs arrive.
If they were injured in the water, though… SPINE BOARD THEM!

Method 1: Robot Suit
• I’m not joking.
Manipulated by center of gravity coupled with a remote.
Works only with paraplegics– they need to be able to handle the remote!
Supposedly also helps self-esteem-interacting eye-to eye.

Method 2: Regenerating the Spinal Cord
• Still not joking.
•Stem cells are used to repair and re-bridge the spinal tissue.
•Currently works on rats, might soon be tested on humans.
