I’m here because my brother got into a motorcycle accident in a hit and run . It’s only day 3 and too soon to tel anything if he is paralyzed or not . He got fractured from t1-t 6 and Al broken ribs and a broken shoulder . He can’t move his legs at all and I’m just praying he will be able to . Or at least his upper body . Learning about spines seem so complicated . I just hope his fracture does not paralyze him . Atm he can’t use the bathroom on his own and it is tearing me a apart . He can’t even eat in his own . Just want him to feel human .

Thank you!

Good sir, thank you

Thank you for this I sometimes have burning sensations in my legs it’s been a year since I had a 20 roughly meter fall.

Very interesting!!

I have been T10 complete since 1959. Was a patient of Ludwig Gutman in Stoke Manderville. Long time ago.😎

thanks

nicely done 🙂🙂

Thank you for the explanation. If there is a injury at the level from Th2-TH10, and the symptoms are inabilety of walking, balance, bladder - and bowel function, will these symptoms with rehabilitation disappear?

Love the elevator concept. Never thought of it that way.

Finally!! Tnx

I have the issues with the 3D space and balance following car wreck ! What steps would you suggest i take

As long as 1 hand works I know that I'm in control of how long I suffer.

Can you get spinal cord injury during ACDF neck surgery? I had ACDF C5 C6 done in 2019 and have been in continuous state of vertigo and pain. I went back to the doctor and he threw the CD with my MRI on it back at me. I literally had no symptoms other than a consequential finding of the herniated disc and compression with some signal cord damage taking place. Neurosurgeon said he should do the surgery for safety sake. I think I should have got a second or third opinion because that totally changed my life in a very negative manner not able to work or play or hardly sleep with the constant excruciating pain.

Thanx dude!😍

Great video but spoilt by bad lighting causing flickering, making it difficult to watch. Any chance of an update?

Does the motor cortex in your brain control both arms and legs?

Been having upper back, left shoulder blade, left arm pain 24/7. CT Friday and today Monday found out advanced arthritis and spinal compression c5/6. So will be seeing a neurologist asap.

Thank you sir my pt neuronexam is after 2 days

Can u please explain the effects of injury to T11 and T12 and compression of cord

c6 injury recovery is possible or not if possible how many percent,??

It's like different levels of hell. It's scary

Is there supposed to be one more Lumbar vertebrae?

I knew some one who was paralyzed from the chest down , uncontrollable bowels they would have to change the bag 30 times a day . Terrible . He was well in his late 60's when this happened he didnt like doing excercises , he was non verbal but could talk up a storm at times . He got discharged from a nursing home and went to one of his siblings home ... had 24 - 7 care . Lasted only 2 years and passed away . Everybody said he wouldn't make it negative attitude about everything . Its been 5yrs he's been gone .

What about a ligament injury in the spine?

## Summary This video provides an overview of the different levels of spinal cord injury and their corresponding symptoms. The spinal cord is compared to an elevator with 31 levels, each region having its own specific functions and impacts. The severity and symptoms of spinal cord injuries can vary, with injuries to different regions affecting different parts of the body and bodily functions. ## Highlights - The spinal cord is divided into different regions, each with its own levels and functions. - The cervical region has 8 levels and supplies sensations to the neck, shoulders, and upper arm. - The thoracic region has 12 levels and provides motor movement and sensory input to the thorax and abdomen. - The lumbar region has 5 levels and affects the lower back, hips, and legs. - The sacral region also has 5 levels and impacts the lower part of the legs, as well as bowel, bladder, and sexual function. - Injuries to the cervical region can result in quadriplegia or tetraplegia, affecting the arms and legs. - Injuries to the thoracic region can impact posture, balance, and the autonomic nervous system. - Lumbar region injuries affect the muscles around the hips, thighs, and lower legs. - Sacral region injuries primarily affect bowel, bladder, and sexual function. ## Detailed Summary - This video provides an overview of the levels of spinal cord injury and the corresponding symptoms. The spinal cord is compared to an elevator with 31 different levels. The cervical region, closest to the brain, has 8 levels and supplies sensations to the neck, shoulders, and upper arm. The thoracic region has 12 levels and provides motor movement and sensory input to the thorax and abdomen. The lumbar region has 5 levels and affects the lower back, hips, and legs. The sacral region also has 5 levels and impacts the lower part of the legs, as well as bowel, bladder, and sexual function. It is important to note that the severity and symptoms of spinal cord injuries can vary. Injuries to the cervical region can result in quadriplegia or tetraplegia, affecting the arms and legs. Injuries to the thoracic region can impact posture, balance, and the autonomic nervous system. Lumbar region injuries affect the muscles around the hips, thighs, and lower legs, while sacral region injuries primarily affect bowel, bladder, and sexual function.

is it possible a T7 lesion to damage ONLY sensory nerves at the lower half of the body?

Anyone weak sensation feeling both legs after chiropractor adjustments and now 2 weeks with nausea discomfort any suggestions what it can? No pain but discomfort feeling sensation

I thought t -6 spinal injury also controls the movement of the legs ?

Perfect!

CAN YOU ALSO KNOW WHICH PART OF THE BODY CAN BE ANESTHETICIZED IF THE INJURY IS C3 TO C6. THANK YOU

I had a sever lower back injury l4 l5 my legs are f,d now much showed up down the road. Just weird symptoms.

My dad fell 7 years ago and he had neck injury he had a slight neck bone compression and it compressed his spaniel cord since then he has week one side and walks unbalanced and his body doesn’t command to release his urain so he has urainbag no Dr or medication helped him to go back to normal your help would be great Dr 🙏🙏

Also to inform people that may not know this quadriplegia and tetraplegia are not the same, as quadriplegia affects the upper and lower extremities, tetraplegia includes these but also the neck.

another awesome video, going to steal this concept for teaching. Was there a reason to only drawing 4 lumbar vert?

Hi doctor yesterday accidentally i was hitted my backbone in steel it really hurting now is there any problem please kindly reply me what can I do now?

Then how did my friend who is in a wheelchair break her neck, and she is paralyzed from the waist down?

What about UMNL and LMNL ?

But what about the Coxyx and its nerves?

Sorry why I can’t see the video

But the spinal cord ends at L1?

I have a double fusion. C3-4-5. I can still function but have 7 pieces of titanium in my neck and suffer from chronic pain. Passed on low back fusion. I just deal with the pain.

Haven't watched it all yet... but did you just draw 4 lumbar vertebrae? Isn't there supposed to be 5? SO confusing!

Is there a remed?, can I meet you?

Hi dr.Matt, my father had an accident 6 years ago and injured his spinal cord from C-3 to C-7.. miraculously my father still survive to this day. From your experience is it possible for my father to heal or maybe walk again? Appreciate if you reply me.

I Have yet to see a spinal cord injury where the person is unable to blink. There may be no such thing as a complete spinal cord injury because you couldn’t ‘cheek a gum

Thank you doctor, can the symptoms of a spinal cord contusion return and get worse after it has improved well..?

When there is a lesion in C5-T2. Why it is spastic paralysis in lower extremities and flaccid paralysis in upper extremities?

If the lesion at C4 level, how that will affect respiratory function?

WHICH PARTY WILL BE AFFECTED FROM C3 TO C6 SIR?

I got c2 c3 fracture in 2010 full body paralysed now i can walk with walker stick full body movement and strength but can walk without support till now

#scirecoveryjourney nice

basic

Spinal Cord Ends at L1 🙄🙄🙄 Below L1 it acts as individual nerves coming out of cord. Which is called Cauda equina. Injury to cauda equina region doesn't affect as much as spinal cord injury. Patients need to be educated rightly. We shouldn't create unnecessary fear among patients.

Brain is a penthouses!!!!

Anyone else notice he drew 4 lumbar nerves

I don’t understand why information isn’t relayed when there appears to be no break in the spinal cord. Also, the electrical devices that are used, I believe are active, meaning they have a battery/they stimulate. A passive design would seem to make more sense. I’m not an ee

I went paraplegic from the waist down aswell . They dug out a tumor on my t7 till t10 . Twas agressive . 8 months later . Cured hodgekins body/bonemarrow . Now i walk again after some months in a wheelchair . I move so good now that i resumed my volunteer caregiver job. 😊 🙏😇🥰🥰❤️&Light . If the doctor says you will most likely never walk again . Tell him/her . Than it is my job to prove you wrong . And then do it . 🫶🤩
