The spinal cord is the column of nerve tissue protected by the spine and is responsible for delivering messages from the brain to the rest of the body. A spinal cord injury (SCI) can damage or destroy this conduit, resulting in permanent disability or paralysis. Paralysis may involve all four extremities (quadriplegia) or only the lower body (paraplegia). The Mayo Clinic estimates that about 11,000 Americans suffer spinal cord injuries each year.
